Dell’Ugo gluten free pasta
Dell’Ugo is a UK pasta brand that has been in existence since 1929, and now has a gluten free offering. The main thing that makes Dell’Ugo stand out from the crowd is that their pasta is fresh, along with the unique chickpea fusilli. I have to admit, I had not heard of this brand until […]
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 […]
Lunch on the run – gluten free sandwiches & wraps
It is frequently commented that lunch is one of the hardest meals for coeliacs – probably because the usual grab and go items are full of wheat! Sandwich – no. Pie – no. Pasta salad – no. The UK is a mass market sandwich machine – they are available everywhere, including the Boots the chemist […]
Amy’s Kitchen – gluten free convenience foods
Amy’s Kitchen is an American owned company that produces vegetarian frozen ready meals and tinned soups, which are also largely gluten free. There products are available in both the UK and Australia. 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 […]
