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
I took hubby to Lokanta in Broomhill for some Turkish tapas on his birthday this weekend. Having seen their website earlier this year talking about their response to the allergen laws (see my previous post), I figured this place would be a fairly safe bet for gluten free food. It was a Sunday evening, but when … Continue reading
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
The Angel is somewhere I’ve known about for a while and not visited, probably because it’s on the outskirts of Sheffield. Actually, it’s in Derbyshire, but this place is worth the drive out if you’re coeliac. It’s a traditional looking pub in Holmesfield, about 30 mins drive from the very centre of Sheffield. It has … Continue reading
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
You’ll have to excuse my photography. This post was a bit of a last minute idea and this is just a quick snap from my phone. Sometimes, I think rice cakes are the devil’s work. Those times are generally when some well meaning soul gives me two or three plain rice cakes and calls them … Continue reading
So, here I still am. My domain renewal came up recently, which means I’ve been blogging for a year. I wasn’t sure how long I would last as a blogger, so I’m quite pleased to have made it to my first ‘birthday’. It also means I’ve been gluten free for 18 months. And what an … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to have lunch at Nourish, but I was in town doing a bit of Fathers’ Day shopping, so I dropped in with my 4 year old. I love eating at Nourish. It’s one of the few places where I don’t have to even mention that I’m coeliac, … Continue reading
My recent discovery of nut creams and brief obsession with them has led me to experiment with home made ice creams: Cashew and strawberry ice cream I blended about 100g cashew nuts with a little water to make as smooth a cream as possible in my mini-whizzer. I then added some strawberries and a bit of agave … Continue reading
My oldest friend (as in length of time, not age) came round to stay the other week and very kindly brought me a bag of gluten free goodies from a farm shop in Congleton (I think). The thing I was most excited to try was this packet of Easy Bean Chickpea Crispbreads. BC (before coeliac) … Continue reading
