Having been coeliac for several years now, toad in the hole was something I’ve never been able to get right. I always seemed to end up with stodgy, un-risen batter, even when using a recipe that works for mini Yorkshire puddings. Yesterday, however, I cracked it! I made the best one yet, using some lovely … Continue reading
So, I had a fascinating Saturday morning, taking part in the Radio Sheffield breakfast show with Kat Cowan and guest chef, Lee Vintin (from the Chequers Inn), which was all about gluten free food. It was a frenzy of cooking activity for an hour, punctuated by discussion about all things coeliac in between the records … Continue reading
We went out with some friends for an unexpected treat recently to make the most of a child free night. (Our boys were living it up in Skegness, camping with the grandparents – everybody wins!) At the suggestion of our friends, we went to try out La Vaca in Broomhill, which is a Southern American … Continue reading
We went to see Dunkirk at the fabulous new The Light Cinema on The Moor in Sheffield. The experience in the cinema was really good: big reclining seats, tables in between the chairs for drinks, and plenty of space. We didn’t have time for food but I checked out the eating options whilst I was … Continue reading
I don’t normally write second reviews of places, but I decided to make an exception for The Angel in Holmesfield. We went there to celebrate my mum’s birthday at the weekend and the gluten free offer is just awesome. Most of the food is gluten free and most of the rest can be tailored to … Continue reading
Another short post this week! (I need to get out more…) Tilda have a range of single portion, pre-cooked pulses and rice sachets, which are great for a quick lunch for work. They only take a minute or so in the microwave and are nicely flavoured. There are several flavours, all of which are gluten … Continue reading
I was pleased to pick these Nairn’s black pepper crackers up from the supermarket. (Sainsbury’s, I think, although I couldn’t be 100% sure!) The crackers don’t seem to have appeared on their website yet. Quite often, I find gluten free crackers can be a bit bland, and we usually have a stash of oatcakes in … Continue reading
In the years BC (before coeliac) we used to get a takeaway from our local Chinese on a Friday night sometimes. We always really looked forward to it but it was generally a bit disappointing. I can’t really put my finger on why, but I guess there was a lot of MSG and I distinctly … Continue reading
Yesterday, a good friend sent me a few snaps of this awesome free from range at Morrisons at Meadowhead (84-130 Meadowhead S8 7UE). They have an extensive four bays of free from produce, seven shelves high: They also have a double freezer of gluten free and other free from products: Other Morrisons branches in Sheffield are … Continue reading
I popped into the Marks & Spencer food store on Ecclesall Road this week. Not somewhere I usually go, but good for a treat, which in this case was a special packed lunch for my older boy for a school trip. All the other kids were getting fish & chips, and of course he couldn’t … Continue reading
