Cookery Course Reviews
Gluten Wheat Dairy and Lactose Free Cookery Class at Cookability in Somerset November 2010
"For my birthday my daughter gave me a voucher for a dairy and lactose free cookery course with Venetia Cameron-Rose in Somerset. As my daughter has a wheat and gluten intolerance (not yet had the biopsy stage of the coeliac test) she came on the course bwith me 'for company'! As a couple of people had to cancel at the last minute there was just three of us so plenty of sleeves rolled up cooking!
We made two different kinds of dairy and gluten free bread - at last sandwiches are back on my daughter's menu! The quick and easy freefrom cookies (which are also egg free) were perfect - crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside and had that elusive home made biscuit taste commercial brands just can't replicate. The minced beef cobbler with dairy and gluten free scone topping was delicious as was the intensely tasty vegetarian Savoury squares made with gluten free oats. Complimented by the gorgeous No-Bake Mango Blackberry Tart for pudding we went from ravenous when cooking the dishes to 'full to bursting' after we had sat down together to eat our creations! I think my favourites though were the wonderful gluten and dairy free savoury profiteroles stuffed with avocado and bacon! Normal choux pasty always seemed a bit daunting to me but to have made a freefrom version that was so lovely has really boosted my confidence in trying new dishes.
I'm a bit hard of hearing and probably one of the more elderly 'students' but Venetia was extremely patient and helpful.
All in all a fun and very informative time with some quality time spent with my daughter and nice people."

I can’t recommend this cookery course highly enough. It was well organised, great fun, and above all showed me things I didn’t know about cooking with allergies. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, cooking the same old things and not experimenting, but Venetia showed me that amazing things are possible with a bit patience and some clever new ingredients.
The group included one seriously allergic to dairy and nuts, a lactose intolerant with a child with multiple allergies, a dairy and egg allergic and two coelics. You might think coming up with a banquet of dishes to experiment and inspire would be a tall order for such a mixed group of people with such varied allergies; it wasn’t for Venetia.
We made a total of seven dishes in the space of an evening and had time to sit down at the end, enjoy the food and get to know one another a bit better. I was completely amazed at how much we achieved together with some pretty good team work and the excellent guidance of our teacher Venetia.
Special thanks to Venetial and Annie at the Special Diets Directory who coordinated the course for us and instigated the special allergy free course. We had a fantastic time and made some new friends tooand Venetia. We had a fantastic time and made some new friends too .
