Where do I start with these beauties? Gluten free uber indulgence. Frankly, I’m sort of glad they’re gluten free, so we can keep them to ourselves. I think my mum discovered Booja Booja about nine months ago. We were visiting one weekend and she produced a very small box of ginger truffles. They were perfection. … Continue reading

The great Sheffield gluten free experiment
Before Christmas, I was promoting a BBC show being recorded in Sheffield, as they were looking for participants to take part in a gluten free trial. Very intriguing. The trial has been done now, and I’ll be interested to see the show… However, I recently heard, from a friend who took part in the trial, … Continue reading
Product review: Delicious Alchemy Christmas fruit cake mix
Yes, this is a bit late, I realise. But I made it just before Christmas and this is the first time I’ve made it back on to the blog. It was so good I wanted to write about it, and I’m really hoping Delicious Alchemy are going to put this cake mix out next year. (Hint.) … Continue reading
The silkiest carrot soup… and my new toy
I bought myself a Vitamix blender this week (early Christmas present). It’s a high speed blender that is able to process at much higher speeds and with much sharper blades then a regular blender. They’re expensive, but having researched extensively, the only high speed blenders on the market are this price. And I’m planning to use … Continue reading
Product Review: Bfree Fajita kit
I’ve never been big into convenience foods, but I did used to enjoy buying a fajita dinner kit back in the day. Since being coeliac, I have even found myself wishing someone would make one. It wouldn’t be that difficult to mix some spices and do it yourself, but frankly, sometimes I want a bit … Continue reading
Product Review: Bionita Gluten Free Gnocchi
I can’t remember the last time I looked at Twitter and didn’t find post advertising Bionita’s gluten free gnocchi at the top of my feed. It’s a tireless campaign. But I do like gnocchi and after initially swearing not to because I was fed up with the sight of it, I eventually succumbed to the … Continue reading
Product Review: Ilumi Noodle Pots
I was very kindly sent some of the new Ilumi Noodle Pots to test out. Hubby and I have had fun sampling them over the last couple of days and my cooking time has been much reduced! Asian flavoured noodle pots seem all the rage these days, and as rice noodles really lend themselves to gluten … Continue reading
Courgette fritters
It’s that time of year again, where we’ve succeeded in growing a few courgette plants from seed (it amazes us how much plant can grown from a tiny seed!) and now we have plenty of courgettes and marrows to enjoy. We often roast or barbecue them but this year we’ve been diversifying. Courgette linguine (aka … Continue reading
Product review: Garofalo gluten free pasta
I had a wrangle with myself this evening. We have 3 courgettes freshly cut from our garden (one of the few things I’m capable of growing!) but I made such a lovely pasta sauce, I didn’t think courgetti justified it! So I decided to break out some gluten free pasta… I’ve tried a few brands … Continue reading
Product review: Provena Gluten Free Chocolate Muffin Mix (aka emergency muffins!)
I needed some emergency sweet treats for an unexpected kids’ summer holiday lunch this week, so I thought I’d give these a whirl, sent to me by the lovely folk at Provena recently. Unusually, this is a muffin mix based on oat flour, which I’ve not tried before. But that shouldn’t be too much of … Continue reading
