I was pleasantly surprised by a recent lunch at the Fox House pub on the road out to Hathersage. They don’t have gluten free items marked on the menu, which is a shame as they do mark other allergens (e.g. alcohol, unusually). However they do have decent gluten free ciabattas and a separate fryer, which … Continue reading
Yes, yes, yes! I am so excited – I’ve been waiting for this to happen for years! If you don’t know, Pho is a Vietnamese cafe where so much of the menu is gluten free, they asterisk the foods that aren’t. So much choice – noodle soup, summer rolls, curry, fried noodles. Bring it on! … Continue reading
I’ve generally accepted that when I go out for a meal, the gluten free choices can be fairly limited in comparison to the regular menu. So I was delighted to find the gluten free offering at El Toro in Broomhill was over 90% of the menu. El Toro is a Spanish tapas restaurant, where you … Continue reading
I love colourful food! Look at this lovely looking lunch in South Street Kitchen at Park Hill. I’ve been in the area a couple of times recently and discovered this delightful independent cafe serving Middle Eastern inspired vegetarian food. Since Nourish and Eten in the town centre closed, Sheffield has really been really short on … Continue reading
I was very pleased to hear on the grapevine that Thai at the Travellers in Holmesfield has been re-incarnated, as Thai Traveller in Abbeydale. It’s the same head chef and a very similar menu – although I confess I haven’t studied it, I just went for one of the usuals! This time the setting is … Continue reading

The talk will explore neurological dysfunction due to coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity. The talk is one of a series called Ideas Alive … Continue reading
Inspired by the (not GF) bangers and mash ‘your way’ menu option at a recent pub visit, we had a crack at our own, gluten free version when we had a house full of family the other week. There are tonnes of gluten free sausages available in the supermarkets these days, including many own brands. … Continue reading
We had a rather soggy trip out to Castleton recently to meet some friends, and I had a good meal in The George Inn. Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of it, so we’ll have to make do with one I took of the outside in the rain. This is a really traditional, cozy … Continue reading
I went to the Coeliac UK Food Festival in York at the end of June. It was a great event, with about twenty food stalls/catering outlets, some fun cooking demos and great speakers. There were lots of nibbles on offer, to try and buy some new and some familiar gluten free products. Notably, one of … Continue reading
I love cooking, but sometimes it’s nice to slack off and take the easy option. I have deployed these gluten free profiteroles from Rule of Crumb a few times now for a Sunday dinner pudding, a birthday treat and even on Boxing Day. They are the perfect cheat dessert, as you keep them in the … Continue reading
