Gluten-Free Expo 2009 features delicious gluten-free cooking

"Gluten-free cooking doesn't have to taste like cardboard," says Jen Cafferty, founder of the Gluten Free Expo (http://glutenfreeclasses.com). Now in its third year, the Gluten Free Expo 2009 is taking a more nutritional approach, a need Cafferty felt was missing. This year, the Expo's goals are to help parents with a newly diagnosed child and to teach the old-timer or newly diagnosed how to cook for oneself so that the food actually tastes good. She has found that many long-term gluten-free families still have not mastered how to cook nutritious, gluten-free meals that taste delicious. This year's Expo promises to solve all this and much more in an enjoyable and entertaining way.

In addition to taste, one of the main concern with a gluten-free lifestyle is how to furnish the proper nutrients, especially for children, to ensure a healthy, strong and energetic life. Once you embark on a diet free of gluten, reading label and learning how to prepare and cook food is important. This ensures that everyone gets the proper nutrition needed to be and feel healthy. This is an event where you will be able to get important questions answered such as how to handle the picky eater, how to really cook gluten-free and much more. The Gluten Free Expo is a packed, two-day event on August 15th and 16th, 2009. All attendees will be in for an abundance of surprises from all the dairy-free and gluten-free treats available to a full children's program. All attendees will leave with a wealth of new skills and knowledge to apply.

Cafferty, has had her own battles with the problem of eating healthy and nutritionally. In a recent interview with Jen, I discovered that it was because of her daughter's needs that Cafferty first began exploring the world of celiac disease and a setting up a gluten-free lifestyle for her family. This lifestyle change answered many of the mysterious troubles that not only plagued her daughter but herself as well for too many years. The culprit was gluten. Simply stated, gluten is a mixture of proteins found in a number of grains (primarily wheat) and is eaten by millions.

After being forced to learn the ropes the hard way, she decided that she wanted to share her knowledge and the combined knowledge of others to those who want, or need, this information. Cafferty reached out and helped others with similar problems by establishing a cooking school and later founded the Gluten Free Expo.

This year, the Gluten Free Expo 2009 will be held at the Windham Hotel in Lisle Illinois and, according to Jen, people are already confirmed and flying in from all over, even from as far away as Canada.
