Led by Paula Castner, who - through her personal experience and her knowledge from cooking for family owned restaurants - has almost forty years of familiarity with food allergies and almost twenty years of experience with hypoglycemic and diabetic requirements. Unwilling to give up the treats she likes to eat, she has spent years discovering and perfecting the best ways to make cakes, cookies, breads, and more which meet a variety of dietary needs but also satisfy the desire for something tasty and sweet. No cooking, but samples and handouts will be provided.
