Gluten Free Live Food Preparation Class: Thai Food Goes Raw

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I love Thai food.  The spices and tangy flavors are a delight to my palate.  Yet I rarely eat in Thai restaurants any more.  Like most Asian restaurants they use a variety of sauces that frequently contain gluten and are thus a nightmare to those of us on a gluten-free diet.   I am not interested in an accidental exposure.  About a year ago,  I forgot to ask about  salad dressing ingredients and got a dose of gluten in the soy sauce.  I paid for it with an upset stomach so I’ve learned to always ask.

Gluten can cause digestive upset as well as hormone and neurotransmitter imbalance.  This often shows as foggy brain, low energy, focus problems depresssion and lack of motivation.  Once you’ve been off gluten for a while, an accidental exposure can create problems for as long as six months.  If you have an autoimmune condition, accidental gluten exposure can cause a major flare-up that lasts for months.

Asian restuarants  can be tricky if you’re on a gluten-free diet.   Soy sauce contains wheat and the well-meaning staff is often unaware that soy sauce is not a gluten free food.

So when Chef Karen Osborne, graduate of Living Light Culinary Institute,  suggested we make the next of our monthly raw foods preparation classes all about Thai food, I was delighted.   She’s an amazing raw foods chef and has created many creative and delicious recipes.  My mouth was watering as she described  the dishes she suggested we prepare.  The title of the class is “Thai Food Goes Raw – Sugar, Dairy and Gluten Free Recipes for Vibrant Health”.   Here’s the menu:

  • Thai Coconut Soup
  • Thai Wraps
  • Green Mango Salad
  • Pad Thai
  • Coconut Mango Mint Ice Cream.

We’re including a recipe packet containing all the recipes we demonstrate, along with samples and hands on experience.

The live class will be held in Cedar Park Texas, just north of Austin on September 19, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., and we’ll also be broadcasting it online.  All live and in person and online participants will receive access to the high quality web videos after the class.
