Hi, I’m finally back!! We found an amazing pizza from M&S food, which we have been ordering from Ocado. It had a really good pizza texture [ one of the BEST I’ve had!]. It also tasted phenomenally good for a gluten free base!! We have our suspicions that it may be the same recipe as … Continue reading

Smoky ribs
We’ve been missing eating out during lockdown, and I feel like I’ve been cooking so much. I try to mix it up a bit so we have a lot of variety and I’ve subjected the family to all sorts of new recipes. Some have worked brilliantly, and some consigned to the ‘never again, mum!’ bin. … Continue reading
Thai Traveller
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
Gluten free sausagefest
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
Rule of Crumb – frozen treats!
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
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
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
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
Gluten free at Mr & Mrs Cod
Thanks to @jessellenmunn on Twitter, who let me know that the rather fabulously named Mr & Mrs Cod in Greenhill is offering gluten free fish & chips on a Monday & Tuesday. https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D2033676256949788%26id%3D1956888471295234&width=500 The chippy seems to be under new ownership according to an article in the local Active magazine. You can find out more … Continue reading
Ugo Thrive fresh pasta
There seems to be a lot of gluten free fresh pasta coming into the supermarkets at the moment. These Ugo Thrive filled pasta shapes are available from Sainsbury’s and Ocado. The first time I tried some filled GF tortellini I totally overcooked it, and it turned to mush, so I’ve not bought any for a … Continue reading
