I’ve had some fun this afternoon making retro fairy cakes using a gluten free Vanilla Sponge Mix from Sheffield company Delicious Alchemy, who have very kindly sent me a few samples to try. I’m hoping there will be a few left to share at my little boy’s friend’s birthday picnic on Monday… I started with … Continue reading
I don’t tend to buy much gluten free cake mix or indeed really make cakes very often, as my skin is still quite sensitive to sugar. Mind you, it’s got a lot less sensitive the longer I’ve been gluten and sugar free(-ish), so things are starting to look up. However, I was at a kids’ birthday party this … Continue reading
Being forced to eat cake! This isn’t so much a complaint, as it’s not exactly a hardship in any way, but something that definitely never used to happen to me. I went to a children’s party today with my smaller boy, where the very lovely host mummy had made a gluten free cake for the … Continue reading
I recently made a discovery that there’s a fab gluten free food company on my doorstep, in the centre of Sheffield. Delicious Alchemy was set up by coeliac Emma Killilea, who discovered she was coeliac after having a bad reaction to some wheat that had become stuck in her sock! According to the company website, Emma was … Continue reading
So, my attention-grabbing headline is slightly misleading – it’s actually frozen yoghurt. But it’s pure genius. It takes literally seconds to make and is such a treat for breakfast it feels like it should be bad for you, but it’s really healthy. All I did is blend a single portion of frozen fruit with … Continue reading
I went to the BBC Good Food show last weekend, on behalf of the Gluten Free Centre, and had a lovely time. You can read my review here. Continue reading
I have a new obsession – nut creams. I’d never really heard of nut creams until I saw a demo of a Vitamix blender at the weekend. Rather impressive it was, yet extremely pricey for a blender, albeit one that can make silky smooth cream from just nuts and water. The cream demonstrated by the Vitamix … Continue reading
Hubby and I decided to make the most of a child-free couple of days during half term, and booked a meal at Brocco on the Park, a restaurant & hotel at Hunter’s Bar. We’d been looking forward to it for ages, and having browsed their rather slick website, I knew they catered for coeliacs, so … Continue reading
Quite often I end up eating cereal for breakfast during the week, as it’s quick. But when I have time, I prefer to have something different, for variety and to avoid over-doing it with cereals and grains. I made a very simple breakfast frittata with some leftovers: 1 large egg a slice of ham, chopped … Continue reading
I really wish I could have made this look a bit prettier! But it tasted divine and it’s lighter and healthier than traditional lasagne. Today was just an assembly job as I already had the bolognese sauce in the freezer. Everybody has a bolognese recipe so I don’t think I need to reproduce mine in full … Continue reading
