Review: Browns Brasserie
The brasserie and bar chain Browns recently launched a Coeliac UK accredited gluten free menu, giving us coeliacs another go-to food option in Sheffield! I took the boys for a posher-than-normal-for-a-Wednesday pub tea before we went to see the excellent Fantastic Mr Fox at the Lyceum. I booked a table online and put in the … Continue reading

Mini puds
We had some friends round for tea a few weeks ago and I fancied doing some mini desserts to nibble at in the evening. After a lot of wasted time looking through recipe books and failing to find quite what I wanted, I managed to get some better inspiration from the good old web. I … Continue reading

Cannelloni
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

Restaurant review: Rajdhani
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

Akentannos, Sharrow Vale Road
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

Banana bread
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
Where can I get a pint?
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
New gluten free menu at Browns
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
