A couple of weeks ago, I went with a couple of friends to a fab little Indian called Urban Choola on London Road. I didn’t write about it at the time because they were about to close down and move to larger premises. They have just opened the new restaurant this week on Ecclesall Road … Continue reading
I’ve said previously that I think Newburn Bakehouse (by Warburtons) are shaking up the gluten free bread market with some products that are way superior to what was already on the market. I think the little sandwich thins are excellent as the bread to filling ratio is much better than an inevitably dry textured gluten free bread … Continue reading
***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. My mum and I have both eaten there on separate occasions without becoming ill, but I’m going to get in touch with them to find out about their procedures. Watch … Continue reading
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

If you’ve not been to to the meeting before, … Continue reading
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally got my hands on one of the new Pizza Express gluten free margheritas. After repeatedly being unable to find one at our local big Sainsbury’s store on Archer Road, I got in touch with Sainsbury’s via Twitter and found out you can log a product request, which I … Continue reading
We had a load of relatives visiting at the weekend immediately after we got back from a short holiday, so I needed some quick and easy bakes. I had to order ingredients online without my recipe books, so I opted for my trusty Delia chocolate cake because I can remember the list of ingredients* and I … Continue reading
Festival food can be a bit nerve-wracking but we’ve been coming to Deer Shed for the last few years and recently the offer has been getting better and better. 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
Wednesday was the evening of our annual village “Play on the green”*, which we have established a nice tradition of taking a picnic to, and trying hard not to put off the actors with our munching and opening bottles of fizz. Last year, a cork flew onto the stage and clipped the lead actor (only … Continue reading
