We are encouraging members to share their favorite gluten-free holiday recipes, such as stuffing, pecan or pumpkin pie, hors d'oeuvres, etc., at 11:30 AM in Draeger's Cooking School. Recipes will be chosen based on a variety of holiday dishes. This is a wonderful opportunity to share how to prepare your dish and tell the group why it is a favorite. You can also submit a recipe without doing a presentation. After the presentations, a question and answer period will follow. Recipes will be posted (upon permission) to our Meetup website for all members to view.

Drs. Vikki and Richard Petersen, authors of The Gluten Effect, and Jacqueline Mallorca, author of the Wheat Free Cook and Gluten-Free Italian cookbooks, will give free lectures and demos. SEATING IS LIMITED, so please sign up online to assure your space. (A waiting list will be available as well). These presentations will be held at the cooking school which is located at the back of the store, adjacent to the housewares department.

Vendors will be situated throughout the store, sampling their gluten-free foods. As always, Draeger's will be fully stocked with an incredible variety of gluten-free foods.

When you RSVP ‘yes’, please state which of the four lectures or Recipe Sharing Meeting you wish to attend:

Lecture/Holiday Food Demo by the Drs. Vikki and Richard Petersen:
Two 90 min. lectures/demos: First one: 10:00 AM-11:30 PM. Second one: 3:30-5:00 PM

A ‘yes’ RSVP for the “Share A Recipe for the Holidays!” meeting will save you a seat.

3) Send your recipe to me and please state that you give me, Mary Claire DeSoto, permission to post it to the group via the Meetup site.
4) Deadline for recipe submission is Nov. 1st. I will choose 12 to post.

I look forward to meeting you all there!
