Gluten-Free Cooking with Shima Shimizu

What is Gluten? And Why is Gluten Free Important?

Gluten is a protein present in grains. Wheat, barley and rye. These proteins are hard to digest and irritates the gut makes scars on the lining of the gut which causes inflammatory responses. Some might have a obvious response and some with less. Even people without celiac disease can benefit from a gluten-free diet.

Many people tend to have a mild intolerance or sensitivity towards gluten which may show in the form of bloating, headaches, fatigue or diarrhoea. If that if you, you might want to try excluding gluten from your diet and see how that works. Gluten-free diet might help with improving your quality of life.

In this class we will start with learning about what contains gluten and what can be the alternative flours or ingredients that can be used for gluten-free cooking. The snacks were developed for a kindergarten and it is also dairy-free and nut-free so suitable for school snacks and also for those on a gluten free and casein free diet.
