For people moving to a paleo, grain-free way of eating but unsure how to cook those types of food, Esther's Garden of Healing, in Navarre, has started a monthly grain-free, dairy free, soy-free cooking class. 

     The class on November 8 will focus on Thanksgiving, with an herb quinoa mash, roasted butternut squash, green bean casserole and creamy cashew gravy. For dessert, there’s a traditional grain- and dairy-free pumpkin pie on a honey graham crust.

Keeping with the Christmas tradition in December, the class will prepare a delicious brunch, including a venison sausage and mushroom quiche, coupled with crepes containing warm fruit filling and coconut whip cream. Participants will also learn how to make traditional Christmas cut-out cookies the grain-free way.
