They do say (whoever they are) never do the food shopping when you’re hungry. I would add to that never do the food shopping when you’re stressed at work. This, I did, about a fortnight ago, and I was tap happy on the sofa, adding all sorts of gluten free naughtiness to the online basket that I … Continue reading
Having been in a bit of a vegetable rut, I asked for Yotam Ottolenghi’s book “Plenty More” for Christmas, and Father Christmas was very obliging – I must have been good last year! I asked for it based on seeing a recommendation somewhere on the internet, and foolishly, didn’t realise (even though it’s obvious from … Continue reading
Where do I start with these beauties? Gluten free uber indulgence. Frankly, I’m sort of glad they’re gluten free, so we can keep them to ourselves. I think my mum discovered Booja Booja about nine months ago. We were visiting one weekend and she produced a very small box of ginger truffles. They were perfection. … Continue reading
Before Christmas, I was promoting a BBC show being recorded in Sheffield, as they were looking for participants to take part in a gluten free trial. Very intriguing. The trial has been done now, and I’ll be interested to see the show… However, I recently heard, from a friend who took part in the trial, … Continue reading
Unfortunately, there was no Christmas cake left by the time our neighbours popped in for a new year gathering, so I made some peanut butter cookies and some raw brownie. My neighbour is also coeliac (we’re everywhere!) so it was nice to be able to offer a choice of gluten free snacks. Peanut butter cookies … Continue reading
Yes, this is a bit late, I realise. But I made it just before Christmas and this is the first time I’ve made it back on to the blog. It was so good I wanted to write about it, and I’m really hoping Delicious Alchemy are going to put this cake mix out next year. (Hint.) … Continue reading
We took the kids for a well deserved pub tea with some friends last week. We chose the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow. Partly because I was previously tipped off about their gluten free menu and partly because they could accommodate eight of us at short notice. Yes, they have a separate NGCI menu (no gluten containing ingredients), … Continue reading
I went out to Ashoka on Ecclesall Road for a Christmas meal last week. And I’m very pleased to report that it’s another good option for gluten free food on Ecclesall Road, as there don’t seem to be that many at the moment, particularly individual places that aren’t part of a chain. I called the … Continue reading
Every year in my village there’s a lantern parade and Christmas tree lights switch-on. It’s a really nice event and I love taking the kids. It feels like the start of the Christmas season. Lots of kids with home made lanterns, carol singing, and a brief appearance from the big man himself. In order to … Continue reading
I had a great tip off from my mum this week. She was extremely excited to tell me that she’d been in Marks and Spencer and put in an order for all sorts of gluten free goodies for our pre-Christmas get together. Now obviously M&S isn’t the cheapest, and if you like everything home-made, it’s … Continue reading
