REMINDER: Food Allergy cooking class this Saturday 7/25 in LA!

I will be teaching a class at the highly-regarded New School of Cooking in Culver City (Los Angeles) to share tips and techniques on how to cook for multiple food allergies. It’s a hands-on class where students do the cooking themselves and we sit down and eat at the end!

Recipes will avoid all eight of the top US food allergens: wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish. The menu for this class will include: Breakfast Corn Muffins; Vietnamese Chicken Salad; Potato Gnocchi with Pesto; Turkey “Katsu” with Curry; Mushroom-Stuffed Crepes; Fake Pho; Green Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing; Pizza.

The class is $85, and those interested can sign up for the class by calling The New School of Cooking to register with a credit card by calling 310-842-9702. The schedule is available online at www.newschoolofcooking.com.

Hey FAQ - not a comment on this post, my apologies. I've been reading some disturbing things about Wellsphere/Health Central on the web and what they've done to health bloggers. Do yourself a favor and google "wellsphere scam" and read what some of these people have to say - it's unreal...

Hey Allergic Diner, thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this. When I signed up, I remember looking at this and did not have an issue with content ownership. But if that changed after I signed, then I DO have a problem with it. Thanks for looking out for me.

I'm so glad I found your blog! I've had food allergies for over 20 years but just this summer I have identified several new ones that were contributing to allergies that I thought were all environmental. I look forward to reading through your blog for some recipies and resources. I'm allergic to dairy, eggs, soy, tomatoes, food dyes, asparagus, beets, basil. I'm still testing berries, spices/peppers, peanuts and some other items. There is an up side. I generally eat healthier than any of my friends!

Please let me know what you find out. I just left a post on my blog about it. I've also initiated contact with Wellsphere to get them to remove my content. Apparently they are trying to claim intellectual property rights over the content of anyone who signs with them. I hate the idea that someone could profit off of one of our postings...

I looked it up last night, and they plainly state that they have the right to put our content onto other Health Central sites in perpetuity, royalty-free. So I'm going to remove it as well. I'm more concerned about control of where my content goes vs. the actual monetary part. I sent an email last night, no response so far. Thanks again for the heads up. The FAQ.

FAQ - I also received no response, so I decided to try a different tactic. They have our feed, so everything we write pops up on their site as well, right? I wrote a post titled "WELLSPHERE SCAM" - and within an hour heard from Dr. Rutledge himself. All taken care of. Best regards, TAD
