Have you ever wondered about, or turned up your nose at, gluten free, dairy free or vegan foods? Or perhaps you have been diagnosed with an allergy or are sensitive to a common ingredient and don’t know where to go out to eat. Or perhaps you aren’t aware that alternatives are both delicious and available. In this class we will visit four food establishments in Fairbanks that either specialize in or offer alternative foods to common allergens. Classes will include a short information session on common food allergens and need for alternatives. Tasting fee: $20, please pay the instructor at the first meeting. Enrollment limited to 7.
