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

Product review: Garofalo gluten free pasta
I had a wrangle with myself this evening. We have 3 courgettes freshly cut from our garden (one of the few things I’m capable of growing!) but I made such a lovely pasta sauce, I didn’t think courgetti justified it! So I decided to break out some gluten free pasta… I’ve tried a few brands … Continue reading
Product review: Provena Gluten Free Chocolate Muffin Mix (aka emergency muffins!)
I needed some emergency sweet treats for an unexpected kids’ summer holiday lunch this week, so I thought I’d give these a whirl, sent to me by the lovely folk at Provena recently. Unusually, this is a muffin mix based on oat flour, which I’ve not tried before. But that shouldn’t be too much of … Continue reading
Product Review: Kallo Belgian Dark Chocolate Organic Rice Cake Thins
You’ll have to excuse my photography. This post was a bit of a last minute idea and this is just a quick snap from my phone. Sometimes, I think rice cakes are the devil’s work. Those times are generally when some well meaning soul gives me two or three plain rice cakes and calls them … Continue reading
Product review: Easy Bean Chickpea Crispbread
My oldest friend (as in length of time, not age) came round to stay the other week and very kindly brought me a bag of gluten free goodies from a farm shop in Congleton (I think). The thing I was most excited to try was this packet of Easy Bean Chickpea Crispbreads. BC (before coeliac) … Continue reading
Product review: Delicious Alchemy Vanilla Sponge Mix
I’ve had some fun this afternoon making retro fairy cakes using a gluten free Vanilla Sponge Mix from Sheffield company Delicious Alchemy, who have very kindly sent me a few samples to try. I’m hoping there will be a few left to share at my little boy’s friend’s birthday picnic on Monday… I started with … Continue reading
Product review: Seriously amazing cake
I don’t tend to buy much gluten free cake mix or indeed really make cakes very often, as my skin is still quite sensitive to sugar. Mind you, it’s got a lot less sensitive the longer I’ve been gluten and sugar free(-ish), so things are starting to look up. However, I was at a kids’ birthday party this … Continue reading
Battle of the gluten free noodles – Itsu vs Kabuto
Instant noodle pots seem to be having a bit of a revival these days, and have been given an oriental flavour. This is a vast improvement on the Pot Noodle in my view. And it’s great that there are some emerging convenience products to cater for us coeliacs. These noodle pots make a great filling work … Continue reading
Product review: Orgran Pizza and Pastry Multimix (via Gluten Free Centre)
I’ve written a review of Orgran Gluten Free Pizza and Pastry Multimix for the Gluten Free Centre. You can read it here. This is the rather yummy pizza I made with it, topped with chicken, artichokes and peppers. Continue reading
