Before Christmas, I was promoting a BBC show being recorded in Sheffield, as they were looking for participants to take part in a gluten free trial. Very intriguing. The trial has been done now, and I’ll be interested to see the show… However, I recently heard, from a friend who took part in the trial, … Continue reading

Peanut butter cookies
Unfortunately, there was no Christmas cake left by the time our neighbours popped in for a new year gathering, so I made some peanut butter cookies and some raw brownie. My neighbour is also coeliac (we’re everywhere!) so it was nice to be able to offer a choice of gluten free snacks. Peanut butter cookies … Continue reading

Product review: Delicious Alchemy Christmas fruit cake mix
Yes, this is a bit late, I realise. But I made it just before Christmas and this is the first time I’ve made it back on to the blog. It was so good I wanted to write about it, and I’m really hoping Delicious Alchemy are going to put this cake mix out next year. (Hint.) … Continue reading

The Norfolk Arms: Pub review
We took the kids for a well deserved pub tea with some friends last week. We chose the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow. Partly because I was previously tipped off about their gluten free menu and partly because they could accommodate eight of us at short notice. Yes, they have a separate NGCI menu (no gluten containing ingredients), … Continue reading

Ashoka: Restaurant review
I went out to Ashoka on Ecclesall Road for a Christmas meal last week. And I’m very pleased to report that it’s another good option for gluten free food on Ecclesall Road, as there don’t seem to be that many at the moment, particularly individual places that aren’t part of a chain. I called the … Continue reading

Christmas with Magic & Sparkle
I had a great tip off from my mum this week. She was extremely excited to tell me that she’d been in Marks and Spencer and put in an order for all sorts of gluten free goodies for our pre-Christmas get together. Now obviously M&S isn’t the cheapest, and if you like everything home-made, it’s … Continue reading

The silkiest carrot soup… and my new toy
I bought myself a Vitamix blender this week (early Christmas present). It’s a high speed blender that is able to process at much higher speeds and with much sharper blades then a regular blender. They’re expensive, but having researched extensively, the only high speed blenders on the market are this price. And I’m planning to use … Continue reading
Take part in a gluten investigation on BBC2
I was very excited to find an email from the BBC in my Steeliac inbox the other day! Fame at last, I thought. Well, not quite… BBC2 are looking for volunteers from Sheffield to take part in an experiment as part of a food science programme presented by Professor Alice Roberts (along with chef Tom Kerridge … Continue reading

Product Review: Bionita Gluten Free Gnocchi
I can’t remember the last time I looked at Twitter and didn’t find post advertising Bionita’s gluten free gnocchi at the top of my feed. It’s a tireless campaign. But I do like gnocchi and after initially swearing not to because I was fed up with the sight of it, I eventually succumbed to the … Continue reading

Product Review: Ilumi Noodle Pots
I was very kindly sent some of the new Ilumi Noodle Pots to test out. Hubby and I have had fun sampling them over the last couple of days and my cooking time has been much reduced! Asian flavoured noodle pots seem all the rage these days, and as rice noodles really lend themselves to gluten … Continue reading
