Learn more about the Gluten Free Events I host & collaborate!

I host and collaborate with other local businesses that are either dedicated gluten free, or follow kitchen protocols for celiac-safe dining.

Everyone’s Gluten Free diet may look different, so please do not hesitate to reach out and ask questions. Please note that these spaces are not always dedicated gluten free. I hope to meet you and provide an amazing experience!

These events are created:

  • to support and develop confidence dining out gluten free in a social setting

  • the opportunity to ask myself and staff questions about kitchen protocols and gf menus

  • connect with others eating gluten free, gain support from your friends & family to dine with you

  • explore the local restaurant scene to provide you inspiration at home

  • you leave with my “confidently dining out gluten free” plans & strategies in brochure form (digital available upon request)

  • after the event, the places that host are a go-to destination for you for a gluten free meal. Sometimes we collaborate on special menu items, and won’t always be available.

Most of the events, a portion of the proceeds are donated to a local non-profit that is near and dear to my heart. (Check out the list below)

I am passionate about supporting local businesses, and connecting and giving back to my community.

Are you a local restaurant or business, email me to collaborate and host an event in your space.

Gluten Free Charcuterie Workshop & Beer Tasting
Apr

Gluten Free Charcuterie Workshop & Beer Tasting

Purchase Tickets Here: Eventbrite $52 + processing fee

A fun collaboration of local businesses coming together for a fun filled evening of artisan cheeses, local ingredients, and a delicious variety of gluten free brewed beer at Lucky Pigeon Brewing in Biddeford, Maine.

Host, Kaitlin Gee of Mrs.GeeFreeLiving - will discuss with Graham tips & tricks building a Gluten Free Charcuterie board with Maine Crisp Crackers (which are deliciously Gluten Free).

Graham of The Portland Board & Mobile Charcuterie- Join Graham, Owner and Creator for a live workshop as you create the perfect Gluten Free Charcuterie. There will also be a Dairy Free option board! In the class, you will learn the basics of cheese selection, pairings, tips & tricks, and board layout. We will also cover some intermediate skills -- that just may include that beautiful salami rose! Graham will guide you step by step as you create your own 8” cheese plate, as well as guidance on how to take the most Instagram-worthy photos of your platters!

Lucky Pigeon Brewing Co.- Lucky Pigeon started as the dream of Kathleen Pigeon (our original “Lucky Pigeon”) who had to remove gluten from her diet for health reasons. The idea took root during a family vacation where a visit to a craft brewery provoked the thought, “wouldn’t it be great to have a tasting room experience that folks who are gluten-free can enjoy?” Their dedicated gluten-free brewing process allows for those with gluten sensitivities, including Celiac disease, to enjoy the variety and excitement of a small craft brewery without the risk of immune reactions that barley-based beers can induce.

Thank you to a Sponsor of the event, Maine Crisp! Maine Crips aren’t your everyday crackers. These delectable crisps are meticulously handcrafted from simple, natural ingredients inspired by the coast-to-coast culinary adventures (and obsessions!) of the founders. Made from naturally gluten-free buckwheat, studded with a special mix of organic seeds, berries, and nuts, they’re awesomely crispy, chewy and nutty.

A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to Seeds of Hope Neighborhood Center partners with our local communities and neighbors to find solutions to poverty and to promote personal growth.

Ticket Includes:

  • 8" inch palm leaf plate with Artisanal Cheeses, Charcuterie and all additional accompaniments for creating a perfect plate with Maine Crisp Crackers!

  • 4 - 5 oz pours of delicious GF Draft Beer from Lucky Pigeon

  • GEEFREELIVING Gluten Free Maine Tote & Recipe Card DIY GF Charcuterie at home

“When my sister was diagnosed with Celiac,

I was not aware of the challenges and obstacles she would face dining out. As a family member, understanding their health and being as supportive as possible is why I will keep attending these wonderful events!”

- Shannon (Kaitlin’s sister)
