Demystifying ‘Alternative’ Flours: Hands-on Cooking Class with Hannah Wong

Join Chef Hannah Wong as she shares how to use and create delicious recipes with gluten-free flours such as potato starch, rice flour, and glutinous rice flour (aka sweet rice flour). Hannah will give a quick overview on the functions and properties of each and focus on preparing different Asian dishes utilizing these ingredients.

Students will have the opportunity to be hands-on in preparing and cooking ingredients, learn new techniques to diversify their home-cooking skillset, and enjoy a bountiful lunch together to celebrate their hard work. We hope to see you in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen for this hands-on class with Hannah.

Menu to include:

• Bánh xèo – Vietnamese turmeric rice pancakes with shrimp, pickles, lettuce and herbs (non-shellfish option available)
• Homemade Korean rice cakes – prepared cacio e pepe style
• Vegetable tempura – assorted winter vegetables lightly fried
