Cooking Connections: Navigating Food Allergies

I’m co-hosting an upcoming class in the Web’s first-ever virtual cooking school, Cooking Connections, and I would love for all of you to join me!  My kids have dietary restrictions and we have to be very careful what they eat.  Those I have to worry about are more their friends and classmates because my kids need certain dietary foods that are often a source of allergies for others (for example, peanut butter!).  We need to make sure we keep our kids’ friends safe… all the while making sure our kids health is not in jeopardy from lack of dietary needs.  Here’s what you need to know to participate:

When: Wednesday, Feb. 2, at 1 p.m. ET

Where: TheMotherhood – here is the link to the page where the class will be held: http://www.themotherhood.com/talk/show/id/62140

And here is the registration page for all seven Cooking Connections classes: http://www.themotherhood.com/cookingconnections

What: The class I am co-hosting is called “Navigating Food Allergies,” and it is hosted by Lori Sandler, founder of Divvies Bakery and author of The Divvies Bakery Cookbook, www.divvies.com.  During the class, we all will share our experiences and expertise on cooking for kids, family members and friends with food allergies.  Lori will also lead us through the basics of clean preparation and understanding ingredients, and then we’ll present a food allergy-friendly recipe that looks good and tastes great – whether you have allergies or not!

The class is sponsored by ConAgra and hosted by TheMotherhood.

I hope to see you there!
