Last week I was a very happy coeliac, having been invited to a pre-opening ‘friends and family’ night at the new Pho in Leopold Square. I love Vietnamese food and make a point of going to Pho whenever I can in Manchester. This place is equally great for a quick lunch with a big bowl … Continue reading

Coeliac UK food fest & The Box Bakery
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

Coeliac UK Sheffield Group – help wanted
Some of the committee members of the Coeliac UK Sheffield local group are moving on, and Coeliac UK are looking to recruit new volunteers to get involved with leading the group. Without new members, the Sheffield group might not be able to continue supporting the Sheffield coeliac community, which would be a shame. If you’re … 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

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

Filmore & Union (tragically not in Sheffield)
I’m breaking with my own unwritten rule here, of only writing about food places in Sheffield. But I think this place is worth breaking it for. We were in Harrogate recently, and had an amazing lunch at a place called Filmore and Union. I’ve been wanting to go there for ages, and it really lived … Continue reading
Review: Miller and Carter
After a whole January of eating in, we had a lovely evening at the relatively new Miller and Carter steakhouse at the weekend. Not least because we can walk there through the woods, which was fun. Miller and Carter is on the site of the old Toby Carvery at Parkhead next to the cricket ground, … Continue reading

Gluten free hash browns
I rarely eat breakfast or brunch out as I consider it to be the most hazardous and least satisfying meal to eat out. I find it much harder to come to terms with watching people eat thick door wedges of toast or soft English muffins than I do with other meals, for some reason. So … Continue reading
