Gluten-free… with foresight.
A 3-day weekend to learn how to manage a gluten-free diet wisely.
The idea
It is entirely possible to live well, gluten-free. All it takes is a little bit of foresight. You have to…
- understand the risks (choice vs sensitivity vs intolerance)
- know how to avoid dietary frustration
- learn a couple of new kitchen skills
- have access to great, reliable recipes
300€ per person
plus accommodation costs
Hello! I’m Jan Steele, Nutritional Therapy Consultant and Cooking Instructor specializing in gluten-free diets. (I am also a lifelong Celiac, and the mother of two children who’ve been eating gluten-free for the past 8 years).
Whether you’re newly diagnosed
…or you’ve been Celiac for years,
come and take your seat at the table
in a community of people living well, gluten-free.
Swimming against the current can get tiring, over time. Come and enjoy a break, while also exploring the habits and skills necessary to live well, gluten-free, in France.
We’ll enjoy nutrient-dense and delicious gluten-free meals, we’ll discuss ingredients, kitchen skills, and gluten-free baking and pastry… all in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Cévennes National Park.

Accommodation
Come and reconnect… to your own body’s needs, to others, and to the natural world. Our Bed & Breakfast is situated in the South of France, at the very end of a small town called Cros.
You will be assigned a bed in a comfortable private or shared bedroom / bathroom, according to your preference. Weather permitting, meals will be served outside, under the pergola.
On our property, a small creek flows among hammocks and benches. Chickens run free in the garden all day, and from across the creek, our donkeys will call to you with a friendly “hee-haw”. Forest walks abound, as do spots by the river to wade, re-ground, or just reconnect to the natural world.
Meals
Your “chef de table” and cooking instructor is Jan Steele. Owner of the B&B, Jan has lived in the region for several years already, and takes great pride in sourcing local regional products to ensure maximum nutrient-density and flavour.
