We had a lovely meal testing out these Pieminister gluten free pies. One was chicken, leek, ham and thyme (Ranger), and the other was a vegetarian pie containing goats’ cheese, sweet potato and spinach (Heidi). What’s to say? Once heated, the pastry was excellent – lovely and crunchy round the top edge and not remotely crumbly. … Continue reading
The brasserie and bar chain Browns recently launched a Coeliac UK accredited gluten free menu, giving us coeliacs another go-to food option in Sheffield! I took the boys for a posher-than-normal-for-a-Wednesday pub tea before we went to see the excellent Fantastic Mr Fox at the Lyceum. I booked a table online and put in the … Continue reading
Pre-coeliac diagnosis, I used to make cannelloni using either the dried pasta tubes you can buy, or latterly by rolling them up in fresh lasagne sheets. Neither of these were totally satisfactory as the tubes were always too small and fiddly, and the lasagne sheets generally split. So it’s been on my mind for a … Continue reading
This week I heard of yet another Sheffield restaurant with a great report of gluten free food, via @MalSannie on Twitter. Akentannos is a restaurant and bar on Sharrow Vale Road specialising in Sardinian food and their website says they have a strong reputation for gluten free dishes. Apparently, the chef is coeliac, which is reassuring … Continue reading
Bananas generally get scoffed in our house. I like them a bit under-ripe, so they have a bit of bite, then there’s usually a window of opportunity of a few days when the boys will eat them, before they start to go brown. After that, we usually keep them to make pancakes at the weekend. … Continue reading
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Chris Badham, the chef/owner of Cello cafe in Greenhill, who’s recently been diagnosed coeliac. Which means, of course, that he’s got an excellent understanding of safe catering for coeliacs, so his cafe should be a really great place to go! The cafe doesn’t have a website, but has … Continue reading
I’ve been meaning to go to this well reputed cafe on Sharrow Vale Road for ages now. We finally got round to going last Saturday while the boys were busy. Made by Jonty is a very popular, bustling little cafe in Sharrow, next door to Sheffield legend Pete McKee’s gallery. We had to wait for … Continue reading
It’s been an exciting week for coeliacs in Sheffield* as our local big Sainsbury’s stores started selling freshly baked gluten free bread! And we all raved about it because it’s extremely good. It was Sunday afternoon when we made it to our local Sainsbury’s (Archer Road) so the shelves were rather decimated, but we were … Continue reading
We were looking for somewhere to go for a Sunday lunch with my mother in law, who lives in Broomhill, and Tripadvisor suggested The Doctor’s Orders, which is right next to the Hallamshire hospital on Glossop Road. We’d always thought it was just a student pub, but it has very good reviews on Tripadvisor for … Continue reading
I’m sorry to say that the BBQ Collective has left The Hop bar in Sheffield. Thanks to @impything for letting me know via Twitter. According to their website, the residency at The Hop was fixed term, and it has expired. However, they hope to come back in 2017 with some exciting new ventures. Continue reading
