Gluten Free Living Now Expo
Cooking Demonstrations
and Workshop

Cooking Demo's

We will be featuring lots of great cooking demo's throughout the year on our Gluten Free Sheba page.  Looking for an amazing pot pie, apple pie or an upcoming demo?  You'll find it here (Upcoming demo...spring rolls!)? 

 



The Stage Schedule Will be posted soon.  You may view the current demo's that are scheduled to the right.


 

Artisan Bread Workshop

Now YOU can make Artisan Flat breads with Charles Luce !!

Gluten-free flat breads are an easy trick once you've mastered a few basics.  These techniques transform such simple foods as pizza and tortillas into taste-filled, nutritious and toothsome treats.  This workshop will teach proper dough handling for GF flat breads, as well as innovative baking methods and ways to modify traditional recipes using fresh, local ingredients.  We'll bake (and eat!!) thin-crust pizza, puffy foccacia and a corn, sorghum, and wild mushroom gordito. 

 

Charles Luce Bio

Charles Luce is the co-owner of Luce's Gluten-Free Artisan Bread and a GF product inventor.

His long career in the visual arts (pre-digital photography) prepared him to tackle GF baking's last frontier - bread - and produce true artisan products.  He taught community college for 27 years and is an excellent workshop presenter.  A dedicated "foodie" and mushroom forager (he's served on the executive committee of the New York Mycological Society), he brings a wealth of knowledge and an open, friendly attitude to the classroom. 

You can find out more at his site lucegfbread.com - or his blog - myceliaglutenfree.com

Carmen Siegfried

Dakota Prairie GF Flours

I have long had a pssion for baking, cooking, and spending time in my kitchen.  Gluten free
food can be challenging and my goal when I began cooking gluten free was to make it easier and to give those needing/wanting gluten free another healthy choice in the gluten free market.  My gluten free all purpose blends were something I worked on for a long time and were developed out of a deep love and knowledge of baking.  I now offer a gluten free blog at www.gratefullygf.blogspot.com  full of recipes, a gluten free newsletter that you can join by visiting my blog and signing up, and you can follow Gratefully Gluten Free on Facebook.

Gluten Free Apple Pie demo and recipe to enjoy with family and friends!




APPLE PIE FILLING

2 Fuji apples

2 Braeburn apples

2 Granny Smith apples

½ cup organic sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp of butter or for dairy free(I use Shed’s Willow Run Soybean Margarine)

1 tbsp Sorghum flour

2 tbsp Cornstarch



DIRECTIONS

1. Make pie crust, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. This recipe makes enough pie crust for the bottom and top of one pie.

2. Peel, core and slice apples into approximately ¼ inch thick slices and put in a large bowl.

3. Whisk together the sorghum flour, cornstarch, cinnamon and sugar.

4. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the apples and mix together.

5. Let apples sit for about 30 to 40 minutes in the refrigerator. The sugar will draw out extra moisture from the apples which you can drain off and put in a small sauce pan.

6. Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the excess liquid in the sauce pan, mix well with a whisk and heat until the mixture becomes thick.

7. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake pie for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake pie for another 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator; divide the dough into two pieces making one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger piece out so it will fit the pie pan.

 


GLUTEN FREE PIE CRUST

1 cup white rice flour or brown rice flour

1/2 sorghum flour

1/2 cup potato starch

3 tablespoons sweet rice flour

3 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Tsp cinnamon

8 tablespoons (or, one stick) cold butter or cold Earth Balance Buttery Sticks or Butter Flavored Shortening (I have been using Willow Run Soybean Margarine…..for dairy free the taste is better)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/4 ice-cold water, or enough to make the dough stick together

Don't forget ala mode!!
