Sounds like just the thing!<\/p>\n<p>And during the day, you&#8217;ll learn how to create:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gluten-free (and dairy-free) scones: plain,sultana or date &#038; walnut<\/li>\n<li>Gluten-free (and dairy-free) lemon meringue tartlets<\/li>\n<li>Gluten-free (and dairy-free) victoria sandwich<\/li>\n<li>Gluten-free (and dairy-free) bread served with a delicious gluten-free (and dairy-free) courgette with watercress and pecorino pesto soup. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I love scones&#8230; I&#8217;ve never had a date and walnut scone, though, and that sounds interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Vivien D&#8217;Arcy is the teacher for this course, and she is a gluten-free food specialist&mdash;specialising in patisserie and bread making&mdash;with a successful gluten-free bakery in Essex. She works as a part-time chef at the weekend and spends the rest of her time making gluten-free and dairy-free wedding, anniversary and birthday cakes, and supplying tearooms, cafes, restaurants and hotels.  Apparently she was also finalist in the National Cupcake competition &#8211; now that sounds like something I&#8217;d like to judge!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s lots more information on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.braxtedparkcookery.co.uk\/cookery-school-course-list.cfm?id=117\">Braxted Park website<\/a>, but the important information is that it costs \u00a3135 per person and is on the 30 April. <\/p>\n<p>AND if you book by phone, and give the magic code &#8211; GFCookery &#8211; I&#8217;m told they&#8217;ll give you a 10% discount to celebrate the launch of this new course.<\/p>\n<p>I regularly get emails asking where to find birthday cakes that are both gluten and dairy free &#8211; here&#8217;s a chance to master making your own.
