Easy Substitutions

Do you often look at recipes and think, “I’d love to make this, but it has ___”? Fill-in-the-blank and it’s often gluten, carbs, dairy, nuts, and other food intolerances. That brings us to this revolutionary class. In each session, we’ll create a mouth-watering weeknight meal that boasts a variety of substitution options. No matter what your preference, you’ll be able to make each meal with ease.

I have a passion for crafting meals that appeal to the masses, so if gluten is your nemesis, we’ll find an alternative. If you’re allergic to eggs, we’ll dodge them completely. Same with nuts and dairy. In every recipe, I will discuss the ingredients used, and give plenty of replacements so you can construct the meal of your dreams. In session one, we’ll pile teriyaki-scented beef onto shimming, sesame-laced noodles to make Chili Garlic Beef and Noodles. The dish is gluten-free-friendly and completely customizable to suit your culinary wishes. Session two features Chilean Carbonada, a classic Chilean stew boasting lean steak, vegetables, rice, and a savory, herby broth. Made in one pot, gluten-free, and perfect for the whole family. Session three features Creamy Pesto chicken, a skillet chicken dish that’s bursting with flavor and color thanks to basil pesto and fresh tomatoes. The meal is gluten-free, low-carb and ready in a flash. In session four, we master Marry Me Chicken, a low-carb skillet dish consisting of golden chicken in a rich, sun-dried tomato studded cream sauce. Session five comes alive with Spicy Gochujang Noodles, fiery noodles laced with gochujang and nut butter. These dairy-free, vegetarian, gluten-free-friendly noodles are sweet, savory, and hot at the same time. In session six, we keep the heat alive with Hot Chili Oil Noodles. This show-stopping dish features sizzling, seasoned oil tossed with rice noodles and aromatics.

I hope you join me for this fun trip around the globe – a recipe journey that suits all food preferences.
