***5th October update: Somebody has commented that this cafe is not employing adequate cross contamination controls, so please use your own judgement about its suitability.

Now one of the boys is gluten free as well as me, I’m having to go back to the drawing board a bit on weekday tea ideas. Previously, I was able to persuade them both to have a hot meal at school a few times a week so I could make something quick and light … Continue reading

I wanted to share today’s beautiful lunch courtesy of Yakumama, a South American food stall that’s pretty much completely gluten free. BBQ chicken tacos with Caribbean … Continue reading
