Do you have food allergies or sensitivities that prevent you from eating gluten?


You can control which ingredients go into your foods by learning how to bake your own gluten-free — and delicious — products in a Gluten-Free Baking class offered through Allan Hancock College Community Education. By successfully using alternative ingredients to existing recipes, you can enjoy the foods you love!

The class meets Mondays, July 6 and 13, from 5 to 7:55 p.m. on the Santa Maria campus, Room I-216. The fee for the class is $36, plus a $25 materials fee payable to the instructor in class. No previous baking experience is necessary.

Instructor Dawn Peters is a professional chef and certified in pastry and baking arts from the California Culinary Academy.
