I was in Birmingham for work this week so I took a risk that I would be able to pick up something for lunch from trusty M&S in New Street station. They had a choice of two gluten free wraps in the Made Without Wheat range and I chose the Piri Piri chicken one. (I think … Continue reading

Product review: Nem Viet Vietnamese spring rolls kit
I picked up this Nem Viet rice paper rolls kit on a supermarket trip a couple of months ago and I’ve been looking forward to trying it. It reminded me of the Vietnamese cafes we used to live near in Surrey Quays – we loved eating there. The kit contains the rice paper rolls, some vermicelli … Continue reading
Product review: Voakes…free from pies
I took the opportunity to pick up some of the very well reputed Voakes…free from pies while I was at the Sheffield group AGM last week. I’ve been meaning to try them for a while now, and they are a fairly local company (York), which is great. They sell quite a selection, with pasties, sausage … Continue reading
Fish finger butties
We love a good fish finger butty in our house. I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it comes to fish fingers – I only ever buy really good quality ones. I was quite impressed by these Rule of Crumb fish fingers. They were fairly chunky, with a good amount of fish inside, … Continue reading
No G gluten free sausage roll: Product review
They do say (whoever they are) never do the food shopping when you’re hungry. I would add to that never do the food shopping when you’re stressed at work. This, I did, about a fortnight ago, and I was tap happy on the sofa, adding all sorts of gluten free naughtiness to the online basket that I … Continue reading
Plenty More – Yotam Ottolenghi: book review
Having been in a bit of a vegetable rut, I asked for Yotam Ottolenghi’s book “Plenty More” for Christmas, and Father Christmas was very obliging – I must have been good last year! I asked for it based on seeing a recommendation somewhere on the internet, and foolishly, didn’t realise (even though it’s obvious from … Continue reading
Product review: Booja Booja chocolate truffles
Where do I start with these beauties? Gluten free uber indulgence. Frankly, I’m sort of glad they’re gluten free, so we can keep them to ourselves. I think my mum discovered Booja Booja about nine months ago. We were visiting one weekend and she produced a very small box of ginger truffles. They were perfection. … 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
Product Review: Bfree Fajita kit
I’ve never been big into convenience foods, but I did used to enjoy buying a fajita dinner kit back in the day. Since being coeliac, I have even found myself wishing someone would make one. It wouldn’t be that difficult to mix some spices and do it yourself, but frankly, sometimes I want a bit … 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
