This week we had a school inset day on Monday, so months ago we arranged with some friends to make the most of the extra day by taking the kids camping. And for once, we were rewarded with amazing weather! We went to a lovely rural campsite not too far away in the Peak District, where we were able to … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
