Meet Chef Amber Tipton

She founded The Neighborhood Nest Gluten-Free Baked Goods, LLC, an award-winning bakery that focuses on safe and inclusive food for people with dietary restrictions.

Her warm and approachable teaching style helps students build confidence in the kitchen, encouraging them to experiment and enjoy the process of cooking gluten free meals.
Why Gluten Free Cooking Matters
Gluten free diets are essential for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or wheat allergies. But even beyond medical reasons, many choose gluten free eating for personal health or lifestyle preferences. Cooking gluten free at home can be challenging due to the risk of cross-contamination and the need to find suitable ingredient substitutes.
Chef Amber’s classes address these challenges by:
Explaining how to avoid cross-contamination in your kitchen
Introducing a variety of gluten free flours and their best uses
Demonstrating how to adapt traditional recipes to gluten free versions
Sharing tips for reading labels and selecting safe products
These skills help students feel empowered to prepare meals that are safe, tasty, and satisfying.
What to Expect in the Classes
Each class with Chef Amber is designed to be hands-on and interactive. Students will learn step-by-step how to prepare gluten free dishes that range from everyday meals to special treats. Some examples of what you might make include:
Fluffy gluten free pancakes using a blend of rice and almond flours
Moist and flavorful gluten free breads and rolls
Allergy-friendly desserts that everyone can enjoy
Chef Amber also shares advice on kitchen organization and ingredient storage to keep gluten free cooking safe and efficient.
