Demo Schedule – Saturday, March 14th
Kristine Kidd
Topic: Whole Grain and Naturally Gluten-Free Baking
Time: 10:30-11:20 am
Location: Demo Stage
As the former food editor for Bon Appetit magazine, when Kristine came down with Celia disease, she was determined to eat as well as she always had. For her that means fresh, whole foods. However, many gluten-free baked goods are coarse, dry and lacking in good flavor, and most recipes rely on nutritionally empty white starches.
Kristine will talk about creating baked goods that are not only delicious because they are gluten free, but they are fabulous, for anyone. She creates wonderful desserts that never included gluten—items like crisp meringue nests filled with fresh fruit, billowy Pavlovas topped with whipped cream and berries, nut tortes layered with lemon curd, flourless chocolate cakes, and comforting puddings. Amazing pastries and artisanal style breads can be made featuring flavorful and nutrition-packed gluten-free whole grains like cornmeal, sorghum, buckwheat, oats, millet and more. Learn about these ingredients and techniques from Kristine.
