A trip to Kelham Island for history, beer and pizza seemed like a perfect Fathers’ Day outing. We spent a couple of hours looking round the fantastic Kelham Island Museum with my parents and the kids, finding out about Sheffield’s industrial heritage. We even managed to time it so we were able to watch … Continue reading
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
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
We recently went for a night away in Harrogate, which was fabulous. In advance of the trip, we’d done a fair bit of planning on where to eat, as you do. For lunch, we went to the marvellous Filmore and Union, which we don’t have in Sheffield. More on that in another post, but suffice … Continue reading
Thank you to Emily Lovewell for this review. Looking at their Facebook page, Stanwood Friery seem to have a few comments in praise of their gluten free offer, which is great. 🙂 When we discovered our son was coeliac we started to look around for places that catered for coeliacs but also for toddlers. Living … Continue reading
It’s January – who doesn’t need a bit of a pick-me-up? Last weekend I made one of our favourite desserts to take to a party. Italian trifle made with decadent whipped mascarpone, with sponge fingers dipped in coffee and rum. To make tiramisu you can get gluten free savoiardi (sponge finger) biscuits from Schar, although I’ve … Continue reading
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
It was great to meet the lovely Paulette Edwards at Radio Sheffield today, as well as Richard Setchell from the British Oak Ale House in Mosborough. We were talking about gluten free cooking at Christmas, and you can listen to the show here. It’s about 2 hours in, after Rod Stewart! I promised to share … Continue reading
I often get bored with making packed lunches. I tend not to have sandwiches so usually I try to leave some leftovers from an evening meal or soup to make things easy. Even though I always make the boy’s packed lunch in the evening, it’s not unusual to find me in the kitchen in the … Continue reading
I was excited (in that way that only a coeliac could be) to come across some refrigerated Jus-Rol gluten free puff pastry in the shops last week so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I used to cook a little tart out of regular puff pastry. This would be done by piling up the … Continue reading
