Pre-coeliac diagnosis, I used to make cannelloni using either the dried pasta tubes you can buy, or latterly by rolling them up in fresh lasagne sheets. Neither of these were totally satisfactory as the tubes were always too small and fiddly, and the lasagne sheets generally split. So it’s been on my mind for a … Continue reading
We took the boys to the Rajdhani curry house in the old train station building at Dore and Totley the other week. It was fun to get off the train and go straight into the restaurant. The restaurant was fairly quiet, as we went for an early tea as soon as the doors were opened, but one … Continue reading
*HOMEMADE BY CELLO* Today’s cake is Creme Egg Cheesecake and it is gluten free, with a pot of tea @CoeliacSanc @Steeliac #Sheffieldissuper pic.twitter.com/nLIPJeJDtd — Cello Coffee House (@cellohouse) 27 March 2017 Any establishment with a coeliac chef or owner has to be a destination for me. I’ve been trying to get to Cello Coffee House … Continue reading
This week I heard of yet another Sheffield restaurant with a great report of gluten free food, via @MalSannie on Twitter. Akentannos is a restaurant and bar on Sharrow Vale Road specialising in Sardinian food and their website says they have a strong reputation for gluten free dishes. Apparently, the chef is coeliac, which is reassuring … Continue reading
Bananas generally get scoffed in our house. I like them a bit under-ripe, so they have a bit of bite, then there’s usually a window of opportunity of a few days when the boys will eat them, before they start to go brown. After that, we usually keep them to make pancakes at the weekend. … Continue reading
I was recently asked to recommend pubs in Sheffield that serve gluten free beer. I couldn’t easily answer because frankly I don’t get out enough, but I’m also more of a wine or gin girl. I thought I’d best find out where’s good to go, so very unscientifically, I got in touch with a few … Continue reading
I’m always very excited to hear about local eateries with a dedicated gluten free menu as it’s so lovely to feel you have options when deciding what to eat. It’s no fun to be confronted with all the enticing menu items you can’t eat or even worse, when you have to study the dreaded allergen list in the ring … Continue reading
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Chris Badham, the chef/owner of Cello cafe in Greenhill, who’s recently been diagnosed coeliac. Which means, of course, that he’s got an excellent understanding of safe catering for coeliacs, so his cafe should be a really great place to go! The cafe doesn’t have a website, but has … Continue reading
I’ve been meaning to go to this well reputed cafe on Sharrow Vale Road for ages now. We finally got round to going last Saturday while the boys were busy. Made by Jonty is a very popular, bustling little cafe in Sharrow, next door to Sheffield legend Pete McKee’s gallery. We had to wait for … Continue reading
It’s been an exciting week for coeliacs in Sheffield* as our local big Sainsbury’s stores started selling freshly baked gluten free bread! And we all raved about it because it’s extremely good. It was Sunday afternoon when we made it to our local Sainsbury’s (Archer Road) so the shelves were rather decimated, but we were … Continue reading
