There seems to be a lot of gluten free fresh pasta coming into the supermarkets at the moment. These Ugo Thrive filled pasta shapes are available from Sainsbury’s and Ocado. The first time I tried some filled GF tortellini I totally overcooked it, and it turned to mush, so I’ve not bought any for a … Continue reading
***Update October 2019 – this is now closed, but they have opened in the Abbeydale area. See review of Thai Traveller.*** After the recent disappointment of Thai at the Travellers in Holmesfield closing down, we went in search of its sister restaurant in Broomhill. I was relieved to find that Thai Thai Ka has a virtually … Continue reading
Great to hear Hui Wei has added some gluten free desserts to their menu. I love the locally made Yee Kwan ice creams, which come in exotic flavours like sesame seed and lychee (not together!). But I’m impressed with the addition of banana and pineapple fritters. It’s so great to find something you wouldn’t normally … Continue reading
***Update*** I’ve had a few comments posted about concerns with cross contamination at Proove, so please beware. Maybe worth a phonecall before you go. Thanks to Emily Lovewell for this review of Proove, in Broomhill: We tend to stick to restaurants we know can provide gluten free options for children and when my son asks … Continue reading
I was very excited to try the new gluten free fajita dinner kit by Old El Paso. This used to be a bit of a treat before I was coeliac, and ever since it’s always been a bit dissatisfying trying to use a gluten free wrap in place of the tortillas. They are generally a … Continue reading
I haven’t been in the Devonshire Cat for years. It’s a real ale pub on Wellington Street in the city centre’s Devonshire Quarter, operated by the local Abbeydale Brewery. It had quite a big refurb in 2014, so it has a fresh, modern look. The Dev Cat has just launched a new food menu with a … Continue reading
We went for a very safe, tried and trusted option for our Mothers’ Day meal out, choosing to go back to The Angel in Holmesfield. The Angel is a gastro pub that specialises in gluten free dining, so you just can’t go wrong if you’re a coeliac. This makes for a relaxing experience, as you … Continue reading
We went out for a lovely dinner for two to celebrate my birthday. I’ve been wanting to eat at Akentannos for a while, but it’s somewhere worth saving for a special occasion. Akentannos is a small Sardinian restaurant on Sharrow Vale Road, although it’s about to get bigger as they are currently knocking through into … Continue reading
Thank you to Emily Lovewell for this review. Looking at their Facebook page, Stanwood Friery seem to have a few comments in praise of their gluten free offer, which is great. 🙂 When we discovered our son was coeliac we started to look around for places that catered for coeliacs but also for toddlers. Living … Continue reading
After a whole January of eating in, we had a lovely evening at the relatively new Miller and Carter steakhouse at the weekend. Not least because we can walk there through the woods, which was fun. Miller and Carter is on the site of the old Toby Carvery at Parkhead next to the cricket ground, … Continue reading
