What You’ll Learn

Explore the lessons and topics covered across the course.

Starting with a comprehensive talk through the grains and binders that we use on the course and alternatives for students from around the world, Naomi will then demonstrate home milling, so you can create your own fresh flours from scratch. Of course, you can also buy flours already milled. We finish the lesson with a demonstration of a simple home ferment for easily digestible crepes, that you can have fun customising with your own gluten free grains.
Bread is the holy grail of gluten free cookery and Naomi will show you how to make a seedy ryestyle loaf entirely gluten free. You’ll learn how to create a range of flavours, from dark and seedy to a lighter caraway scented loaf, perfect for scandi style open faced sandwiches. We’ll also cover chapattis and learn how to use the same technique for corn tortillas and throw together some quick but delicious potato farls.
In lesson two you will learn the secret to making a great gluten free shortcrust pastry. After it’s chilled Naomi will demonstrate delicious savoury pasties, blackberry galettes and a leek quiche – all of which you can adapt to create your own seasonal variations using the basic recipes.
In this indulgent lesson we’ll cover succulent honey cake, which you can enjoy with a cup of tea, or dress up with roast fruit and cream and sunflower seed financiers, which are perfect tea time treats.

Common Questions

Answers to the most common questions about learning with us.

Our online classroom is designed to help you learn from experts in a collaborative, social environment alongside a small group of learners.

Each lesson combines expert-led videos with optional assignments, giving you the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and share your work with others. You can take part in ongoing discussions, ask questions, exchange feedback, and learn from a community of like-minded people from around the world.

By learning together in a small, supportive group, you benefit not only from expert guidance but also from shared ideas, perspectives, and experiences—helping you stay engaged and retain what you learn.

You can start your course at any time within 12 months of purchase. Once you begin, you’ll have lifetime access, so you can revisit lesson videos and notes whenever you like.

Courses are designed to fit around your schedule, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Each lesson video is typically 30–40 minutes, and we recommend around an hour for each assignment.

Both Peer and Expert options give you full access to the course content, including lesson videos, downloadable notes, assignments, and a collaborative online classroom with up to 20 learners. You’ll also have lifetime access to revisit the material at any time.

The Expert option includes everything in Peer, plus personalised assignment feedback, direct messaging with your expert tutor, and a certificate of completion.

With the Expert option, you can interact directly with your tutor throughout the course. You’ll typically have one week per lesson to ask questions and receive feedback on your assignments, with as much interaction as you need during that time.

Your tutor access begins when you enter the classroom and follows the course schedule (for example, a four-lesson course usually runs over four weeks). If you need more time or support, our team is here to help.
