I think gluten knows I’ve got something on.. How else can it possibly be explained that I tend to get sick just before birthdays, dinner parties, holidays and anniversaries!

Really? Gluten in regular coffee? Check it out!
Posted on January 7, 2013 Leave a Comment
Could we really be drinking gluten every day? I’m not a fan of spreading fear, and I don’t want you choking on your coffee right now. I do however believe in making information available so that each of us can form our own opinion. And why shouldn’t gluten find its way into my coffee? After all, it does have an uncanny way […]

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, and next year’s words await another voice.” – T.S Eliot Each New Year’s Eve I seem to find myself in a remarkably different place or situation than I could have possibly foreseen the year before.
Coeliac vaccine passes Phase 1 trial – Are you reaching for that donut yet?

(photo credits: http://www.en.wikipedia.org) Could this be the beginning of an easier life for us? Perhaps this is the birth of a long needed commercial interest in our condition? Is this our miracle cure??

We call them “Peppernøtter” which means peppernuts. They contain pepper and they’re shaped like nuts, so why not.

Thumbs up to Glutafin!

(Photo from http://www.glutafin.co.uk) I just want to mention that back in the UK I received a lovely heaping hamper of really rather decent gluten-free products from a company called Glutafin. For no special reason other than being a newly diagnosed coeliac!

Coeliacs disease, the new hayfever (..actually, if those were GF they’d cost more than roses)
Keep a herb garden
Posted on December 13, 2012 Leave a Comment
Keep a herb garden, it’s a very good idea. Sure the watering will drive you crazy, but you can pop out and collect fresh, flavorful herbs at any time for any meal. I use it in hot food, salads, breads, drinks, desserts, decoration, you name it. Not only will herbs lift the flavor of whatever […]
Pasta, not porrige
Posted on December 13, 2012 Leave a Comment
Just thought I’d mention that I found a good pasta brand. I hate mushy, soggy, wet and overcooked pasta. Pasta that swells up and fills the pot, disappears through the strainer and dissolves when you try to stab at it with your fork. San Remo does it better. I really like their fettuccine. Al dente, at […]

It’s mango season in Australia, and that means an absolute abundance of flavour and variety in shops around the country.

Nothing bugs me more than when self-proclaimed GF friendly restaurants fail to comply with their own promises.
Grand service in little Pukekohe
Posted on December 2, 2012 Leave a Comment
Who’d have thought a small place like Pukekohe could whip up such a grand and worldly display of service! My very first GF outing in “The Land of The Long White Cloud” proved a smashing hit. In the otherwise rather unpolished and rural surroundings of country town Pukekohe (south of Auckland), lies a surprisingly […]
