So, my attention-grabbing headline is slightly misleading – it’s actually frozen yoghurt. But it’s pure genius. It takes literally seconds to make and is such a treat for breakfast it feels like it should be bad for you, but it’s really healthy. All I did is blend a single portion of frozen fruit with … Continue reading

BBC Good Food Show – Harrogate
I went to the BBC Good Food show last weekend, on behalf of the Gluten Free Centre, and had a lovely time. You can read my review here. Continue reading
Brazil nut carbonara
I have a new obsession – nut creams. I’d never really heard of nut creams until I saw a demo of a Vitamix blender at the weekend. Rather impressive it was, yet extremely pricey for a blender, albeit one that can make silky smooth cream from just nuts and water. The cream demonstrated by the Vitamix … Continue reading
Brocco on the Park: Restaurant review
Hubby and I decided to make the most of a child-free couple of days during half term, and booked a meal at Brocco on the Park, a restaurant & hotel at Hunter’s Bar. We’d been looking forward to it for ages, and having browsed their rather slick website, I knew they catered for coeliacs, so … Continue reading
Breakfast frittata
Quite often I end up eating cereal for breakfast during the week, as it’s quick. But when I have time, I prefer to have something different, for variety and to avoid over-doing it with cereals and grains. I made a very simple breakfast frittata with some leftovers: 1 large egg a slice of ham, chopped … Continue reading
Pasta schmasta 2 – Aubergine lasagne
I really wish I could have made this look a bit prettier! But it tasted divine and it’s lighter and healthier than traditional lasagne. Today was just an assembly job as I already had the bolognese sauce in the freezer. Everybody has a bolognese recipe so I don’t think I need to reproduce mine in full … Continue reading
Lokanta embracing allergen laws – thank you!
Lokanta is a lovely Turkish mezze restaurant in Broomhill, Sheffield. I’ve seen on their website that Lokanta have introduced their first entirely gluten free menu, having found that much of their food naturally lends itself to being gluten free. This is their new early bird menu, and they’re planning to add a gluten free symbol … Continue reading
Banana pancakes
Breakfast in the week is always such a rush, so we like to make something a bit more special at the weekends. Home made Scotch pancakes with maple syrup & bacon were a big favourite but off the menu now for me, due to the flour, the sugar and the syrup – triple whammy! It’s taken … Continue reading
Super satay chicken
On many occasions I feel like being coeliac and off refined sugar where possible means I miss out on lots of food – in some cafes and restaurants more than half the menu can be off limits, which is frustrating. However, sometimes I find myself being more than a bit grateful that my food quest … Continue reading
Food superhero: Broccoli soup
I really want to share this recipe because it’s become a staple in my house. It’s great on so many levels: it’s quick and simple to make, super healthy because of all the green veg, the kids love it, and it’s a great way of using up broccoli stalks which would otherwise go in the … Continue reading
