***Update*** I’ve had a few comments posted about concerns with cross contamination at Proove, so please beware. Maybe worth a phonecall before you go. Thanks to Emily Lovewell for this review of Proove, in Broomhill: We tend to stick to restaurants we know can provide gluten free options for children and when my son asks … Continue reading

Old El Paso GF Fajitas
I was very excited to try the new gluten free fajita dinner kit by Old El Paso. This used to be a bit of a treat before I was coeliac, and ever since it’s always been a bit dissatisfying trying to use a gluten free wrap in place of the tortillas. They are generally a … Continue reading
New menu at the Devonshire Cat
I haven’t been in the Devonshire Cat for years. It’s a real ale pub on Wellington Street in the city centre’s Devonshire Quarter, operated by the local Abbeydale Brewery. It had quite a big refurb in 2014, so it has a fresh, modern look. The Dev Cat has just launched a new food menu with a … Continue reading
The Angel at Holmesfield
We went for a very safe, tried and trusted option for our Mothers’ Day meal out, choosing to go back to The Angel in Holmesfield. The Angel is a gastro pub that specialises in gluten free dining, so you just can’t go wrong if you’re a coeliac. This makes for a relaxing experience, as you … Continue reading
Akentannos
We went out for a lovely dinner for two to celebrate my birthday. I’ve been wanting to eat at Akentannos for a while, but it’s somewhere worth saving for a special occasion. Akentannos is a small Sardinian restaurant on Sharrow Vale Road, although it’s about to get bigger as they are currently knocking through into … Continue reading
GF Chippy: Stanwood Friery
Thank you to Emily Lovewell for this review. Looking at their Facebook page, Stanwood Friery seem to have a few comments in praise of their gluten free offer, which is great. 🙂 When we discovered our son was coeliac we started to look around for places that catered for coeliacs but also for toddlers. Living … Continue reading
Review: Miller and Carter
After a whole January of eating in, we had a lovely evening at the relatively new Miller and Carter steakhouse at the weekend. Not least because we can walk there through the woods, which was fun. Miller and Carter is on the site of the old Toby Carvery at Parkhead next to the cricket ground, … Continue reading
Steeliac community?
You might have noticed I’ve been filling a bit with recipes over the last few weeks. Well, that’s January for you – I haven’t been out to eat much! Hoping to get around a bit more in February, as it contains my birthday, so I have a perfect excuse. However, it’s got me thinking about … Continue reading
Tiramisu
It’s January – who doesn’t need a bit of a pick-me-up? Last weekend I made one of our favourite desserts to take to a party. Italian trifle made with decadent whipped mascarpone, with sponge fingers dipped in coffee and rum. To make tiramisu you can get gluten free savoiardi (sponge finger) biscuits from Schar, although I’ve … Continue reading
Gluten free hash browns
I rarely eat breakfast or brunch out as I consider it to be the most hazardous and least satisfying meal to eat out. I find it much harder to come to terms with watching people eat thick door wedges of toast or soft English muffins than I do with other meals, for some reason. So … Continue reading
