This month, Mandy showed us how to prepare Vietnamese Spring Rolls! Not only that, she showed us that it is possible to make these spring rolls with gluten free ingredients. This is a very easy recipe and lots of fun to make! Its very versatile, so you can add whatever you'd like in your spring rolls. Feel free to watch the recording of the session below!
For our next and last session with Mandy on Monday, June 5th, Mandy has planned an in-person cooking class with some activities. The session will still run virtually, but there will be some extra activities and hands-on experience for those who wish to attend in person. If you'd like to attend in person (Church in Elmira area), please let me know via email at tabdulhadi@wchc.on.ca or leave me a voicemail at 519-664-3794 ext. 222.
It was also mentioned by one of the participants that there is a tax credit for those who have celiac disease and are unable to eat gluten. Persons with celiac disease can claim the incremental costs associated with buying gluten-free food products as a medical expense. The incremental cost of buying gluten-free food products is the cost of gluten-free products minus the cost of similar products with gluten. For example, if a loaf of bread with gluten costs $5 and the gluten-free loaf of bread costs $7, you can claim the $2 difference. If you have celiac disease, it might be worthwhile to look into this considering the price of food is very expensive and this will help with your grocery budgeting.
