I have been tipped off that a vegan and free from bakery has opened very recently on Hickmott Road in Sharrow Vale recently. I don’t know much about it but according to the Facebook page everything is vegan and gluten free, and the pictures of the produce look totally amazing! I will be on my … Continue reading

Pieminister
I’m late to the party on this but I just found out that pie company Pieminister have a cafe/restaurant in Sheffield, on Division Street. You can find Pieminister pies in many supermarkets, and their gluten free pastry is probably the closest to regular pastry that I’ve tried. I posted about them last year here. I checked … Continue reading
Garlic bread!
We love a bit of garlic bread with lasagne. And I’ve found that the Schar ciabatta rolls make perfect individual sized portions. Which is great in our family as it means the kids can’t snaffle it all before I get to the table. I think the best way to make garlic butter so it doesn’t … Continue reading
Bistro in the Barn
***Sadly closed down in 2022*** I generally don’t go out for Sunday lunch because, as a coeliac, what’s on offer is rarely as good as I can make at home. We tend to have a roast most weekends – usually chicken, beef or pork, sometimes with Yorkshire puds and stuffing (which are rarely gluten free … Continue reading
La Mama
Yesterday we went out for a sneaky Tuesday tea as the boys are away for a few days over half term. I wanted to try somewhere new, and my search led me to La Mama on Abbeydale Road on the west side of town. The restaurant seems to have been around for years, having multiple … Continue reading
Coeliac UK research talk – Oct 2018
At the weekend I attended a fascinating talk about research by Coeliac UK chief executive, Sarah Sleet, as part of Coeliac UK’s 50th birthday celebrations. It was hosted by the Coeliac UK Sheffield Group at their usual meeting venue, St Mary’s on Bramall Lane. Sarah started by telling us about Sheffield’s leadership in coeliac disease … Continue reading
Bistro in the Barn – gluten free specialist
I’ve just come across a restaurant at the very, very edge of Sheffield (closer to Barnsley and Huddersfield, if I’m honest) with a virtually 100% gluten free menu! Bistro in the Barn at Millhouse Green is a good half hour outside of Sheffield centre, north of Penistone and Langsett, but judging by the 5 star … Continue reading
Gluten free profiteroles – blink and they’re gone!
We recently hosted a bring and share BBQ for our friends – the last one of the season, I imagine. There were five families in all, with children, and out of nineteen of us, an impressive four are gluten free. I made some chicken and vegetable kebabs and a butternut squash and feta salad, so … Continue reading
Gluten free at soft play!
I had a useful recommendation recently from Mark Hetherington about Medieval Mayhem soft play near Kelham Island and Hillfoot, where he’d taken his daughter and had a good gluten free experience. The chef was able to do a variety of gluten free options including sandwiches, pizza and chicken nuggets! Although not all the staff were … Continue reading
M&S dine in gluten free
Great to see Marks and Spencer including some meals from their “Made without wheat” range in their dine-in offer. I was in the new Norton store, where you can choose from main courses such as mac & cheese, spaghetti carbonara, lasagne and I think there is some kind of chicken and broccoli bake on the … Continue reading
