Gluten Free Cooking Classes

Other companies probably can accommodate you if you talk to them. For instance, www.florencetown.com, says, "*Vegetarians and/or those suffering from intolerance and/or allergies are more than welcome: vegetarian recipes, and/or other alternatives are available and included; thank you for kindly informing us in due advance."

We're doing a cooking class at Old Taverna Sorrentina in Sorrento and they said doing it gluten-free would be no problem.

I can't help you with your class, but I took a pasta making class at the Italian Cultural Centre here in Vancouver, and the chef teaching the course spoke to us about flour for at least 20 minutes and all the chemical factors that make it different from North American flour. One of his claims was that people who can't eat gluten can actually eat things made with Italian flour. I was incredibly skeptical, but two different people in the class of 18 attested that he was right. I know people have varying degrees of gluten intolerance, but you might want to keep this claim in your back pocket for what it's worth.

(Maybe it's true, but it sort of reminds me of my mother telling my vegetarian sister-in-law that eating her pork roast was okay on a vegetarian diet)
