Koko's Kitchen: Gluten Free Private Class: Chicago

Before moving away from New York, I taught a private class for a family that lived in Chicago. They had three girls that were gluten free with several other allergies, including soy, dairy, eggs, nuts and probably a couple other things I am forgetting. It was such a great experience to be invited into somebody's home as an educator and help the family learn to prepare the dishes for one another that they have not had in so long. The mother told me stories about how her children felt bad going to parties or get togethers because they were not able to enjoy the same snacks and treats as the other children and would feel left out. So we were sure to make recipes for cookies, muffins, brownies loaves and other goodies that they could make and bring with them or simply have at home. It was such a nice experience and I just wanted to share some photos from that time. I love how the three girls were willing and happy to help during the class- not just their mom. We made so much food and desserts it was crazy. I think her freezer was definitely full for quite a while after that!
