VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE COOKING COURSE
1 Week of theoretical and practical lessons with board and lodging included to approach the vegan and gluten free world
THE VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE COOKING COURSE
Surrounded by the pleasant and evocative atmosphere of the Castle of Costigliole d ‘Asti, academics and qualified chefs guide the participants through an educational path towards knowledge of a subject which we encounter daily in modern society. Learning to cook gluten-free is a way to approach food intolerances and those who suffer from them. The purpose is to help those who live with this condition and who have to follow a specific diet which can sometimes be demoralizing and result in loss of appetite.
Eating is one of life’s pleasures: get to know more about gluten-free products in order to bring back the joy of food and satisfy the palate by broadening the vegan and gluten free diet!
