It’s all part of the “Gluten-Free Immersion,” a tasting event at AB Tech’s Asheville Campus, 6- 9pm, on September 29th.

“You’ll be laughing when you discover how easy it is to make delicious gluten-free meals at home. You don’t need exotic ingredients and it’s not hard to learn,” says Zasloff, “this event is for anyone who loves good food.”

A life long student and former A-B Tech culinary student, Kathy Dee Zasloff has gained support from Chefs Brandon Stepp and Ambra Lowenstein, both graduates of AB Tech’s Culinary Arts Program. Chefs Lowenstein and Stepp team up with Zasloff to present this year’s tasting event. The fee is $45 and registration is accepted through AB Tech’s Continuing Education program. Through demonstrations, discussion and tasting, participants will learn to prepare gluten-free appetizers and main menu items while enjoying a rollicking good time.

Chef Stepp, who was the Captain of the Hot Food Team for A-B Tech’s Culinary Competitions from 1997 to 1998, was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Working for over 10 years as a Chef, he is in the process of making a career transition into Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics.  Chef Lowenstein runs her own catering business:  Ambrosia’s Delights, where she focuses on “The Art of Divine Nourishment.”

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round. People laughed when Kathy Dee Zasloff claimed gluten-free cooking could be mouthwatering, appetizing cuisine. But Zasloff, Stepp, and Lowenstien are taking a bow and laughing now. You’ll have the last laugh when you taste the delicious victuals prepared for the “Gluten-Free Immersion” tasting event at AB Tech, Tuesday evening, September 29th,
