Gluten-Free Culinary Arts Schools

Gluten is found in wheat and certain other grains and can be a problem for individuals with gluten intolerance, or celiac disease. By avoiding food items that contain gluten it is possible to lead a symptom-free life. However, many food products, especially bread, contain gluten. To learn how to cook gluten-free, take a gluten-free cooking or baking class at a local culinary institute. Many institutes offer gluten-free courses as part of their public or continuing-education courses.
