Last weekend we ended up with a child-free day, so we made the most of it by treating ourselves to a nice lunch. We were intending to try the highly recommended Rhubarb Shed but it was fully booked, so we ended up going to Tonco, a small restaurant, hidden away in Dyson Court, just off … Continue reading
Very occasionally, Steeliac gets me a treat. I’ve had the odd free meal when a new gluten free menu has been launched or trialled, but 99% of what’s on the blog is just my own experience as a consumer. However, this week, a pleasant surprise dropped into my inbox, from Rosie at Magpie’s Secret, asking … Continue reading
I recently discovered this little gem in the Coop – king prawns in a coconut and chilli crumb, which is great for a quick lunch for two with a bit of salad. The Coop have several breaded items in their standard range that are gluten free, which is great, and means the price is reasonable. … 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
Inspired by the (not GF) bangers and mash ‘your way’ menu option at a recent pub visit, we had a crack at our own, gluten free version when we had a house full of family the other week. There are tonnes of gluten free sausages available in the supermarkets these days, including many own brands. … Continue reading
I love cooking, but sometimes it’s nice to slack off and take the easy option. I have deployed these gluten free profiteroles from Rule of Crumb a few times now for a Sunday dinner pudding, a birthday treat and even on Boxing Day. They are the perfect cheat dessert, as you keep them in the … Continue reading
I went for a great works night out recently at the Cutlery Works on Kelham Island. The Cutlery Works describes itself as a food hall, with a mix of permanent and semi permanent independent restaurants, communal dining spaces, bars and coffee roasters. This makes it a great space for informal groups that can satisfy pretty … Continue reading
We recently hosted a bring and share BBQ for our friends – the last one of the season, I imagine. There were five families in all, with children, and out of nineteen of us, an impressive four are gluten free. I made some chicken and vegetable kebabs and a butternut squash and feta salad, so … Continue reading
Great to see Marks and Spencer including some meals from their “Made without wheat” range in their dine-in offer. I was in the new Norton store, where you can choose from main courses such as mac & cheese, spaghetti carbonara, lasagne and I think there is some kind of chicken and broccoli bake on the … 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
