Jude’s ice cream
Jude’s ice cream is a small family run business, based in Hampshire, UK. I first came across Jude’s at the Wimbledon tennis championships – I think it is a pretty good endorsement to be chosen as the supplier for the tournament and they also have several Great Taste awards. However, I did not eat the […]
Gluten free gnocchi
I recently found gluten free gnocchi by La Veneziane on Ocado, and added it to my order on a whim. What a find! Before my coeliac diagnosis I always had found gnocchi was a bit hit and miss in the taste stakes, so I tend to have low expectations for gnocchi. This gnocchi tastes great […]
London free from show – gluten free galore!
Note: This review was for the 2014 show. Today I visited the Allergy and Free From show that runs from 4-6 July in London (Olympia) and in 25-26 October in Liverpool. You can get free tickets here: There were familiar brands there with new products (such as BFree and Newburns), as well as some new […]

I have sampled several products and hands down, the rice mac & cheese is my favourite (and that of many others too, based […]
Kirsty’s ready meals – gluten free and dairy free
Finding a healthy gluten free ready meal can be quite tricky, but Kirsty’s range of meals is providing some healthy options that are also dairy free with some vegetarian options. I have tried the ‘Moroccan vegetables with quinoa’ and ‘Spanish chicken with brown rice’ and enjoyed them both. I have been doing the fast diet […]
Amoy rice noodles – straight to wok
These noodles seemed to disappear off the market for many months, but it is fantastic they are back, as I think they are the best ones for a quick stir fry. Inside are two x 150g sealed packets which are indicated as two serves, however I usually only use one packet in a stir fry […]
Cinnamon fingers
As all coeliacs know, there is no shortage of gluten free brownies so sometimes we just want some variety and these cinnamon fingers are a great addition to the market. I found them at As Nature Intended (Chiswick) and now regularly buy them. I think they are also available at Whole Foods Market. They are […]
