This focaccia might just be my new favourite gluten free bread. The texture was wonderful and softly chewy on the inside, the outside had a lovely crunch, it had amazing flavours on the top and the trademark focaccia dimples. It even met with approval from the house’s gluten eaters. The only drawback? You have to … Continue reading
It’s been so nice to get the odd takeaway during lockdown, but we’re generally limited to Indian, and there’s a Thai not so far away. So although it’s a bit of a schelp from where we are, we recently did an online order for Pho Cafe in Leopold Square. I have missed this place a … Continue reading
It’s pancake day, it’s lockdown and it’s half term, so I’ve got the day off work. What better to do than feed the kids pancakes until they burst? At breakfast time, we indulged in what’s normally a weekend treat of banana pancakes (recipe here). These are great because they’re super easy to make with only … Continue reading
Hi, I’m finally back!! We found an amazing pizza from M&S food, which we have been ordering from Ocado. It had a really good pizza texture [ one of the BEST I’ve had!]. It also tasted phenomenally good for a gluten free base!! We have our suspicions that it may be the same recipe as … Continue reading
Hi I’m SteelyMcSteel. I’m eleven years old, I’m in year six and I’m Steeliac’s eldest child. It’s taken two or three years of tests and an on and off gluten-free diet to get diagnosed so I have a pretty good idea of what it’s like. First of all I have three main points to make. … Continue reading
We’ve been missing eating out during lockdown, and I feel like I’ve been cooking so much. I try to mix it up a bit so we have a lot of variety and I’ve subjected the family to all sorts of new recipes. Some have worked brilliantly, and some consigned to the ‘never again, mum!’ bin. … Continue reading
First post in a while! It’s been a funny few weeks, adjusting to life in the lockdown. In general, things are ok chez Steeliac – we’re working from home and attempting to home-school our boys, as well as trying to keep things as normal as we can. I hope anybody reading this is coping ok … Continue reading
Last week I was a very happy coeliac, having been invited to a pre-opening ‘friends and family’ night at the new Pho in Leopold Square. I love Vietnamese food and make a point of going to Pho whenever I can in Manchester. This place is equally great for a quick lunch with a big bowl … Continue reading
I was pleasantly surprised by a recent lunch at the Fox House pub on the road out to Hathersage. They don’t have gluten free items marked on the menu, which is a shame as they do mark other allergens (e.g. alcohol, unusually). However they do have decent gluten free ciabattas and a separate fryer, which … Continue reading
Yes, yes, yes! I am so excited – I’ve been waiting for this to happen for years! If you don’t know, Pho is a Vietnamese cafe where so much of the menu is gluten free, they asterisk the foods that aren’t. So much choice – noodle soup, summer rolls, curry, fried noodles. Bring it on! … Continue reading
