After over 20 years of cooking gluten free meals for the family—and with children with very different food preferences and dietary requirements—there are often days when I just can't think of anything to cook. It's as though I've just run out of steam…I open the fridge and see some basic provisions, a range of vegetables […]...

Some of you may know that my second daughter is studying in the US this year. I've had a number of messages over the last few months asking for help with deciphering some of the American cooking and ingredient terminologies—which are almost, but not quite, the same as they are over here. Things like: What […] The post Ingredients and te...

Did you know that Coeliac UK, the charity that supports those who need to eat gluten free, will be celebrating 50 years in 2018? The charity must have started back in the days of tinned bread—and way before many people had heard of coeliac disease or the gluten free diet. To start the celebrations, they've […] The post Coeliac UK: 50 ye...

Whether you live in the UK or are just visiting, and you need to eat gluten free, it's useful to have a list of recommended places to eat. Obviously there are a number of ways you can find suitable places… You can ask a local (always a good option!) You can search on TripAdvisor for […] The post Looking for a gluten free restaurant in t...

If panettone is one of your Christmas treats—but you need to find a gluten free version—do check out this list (Christmas 2017). But you'd better move fast, as some of these are in short supply. Don't forget you'll need to add postage if you buy online… Carluccio's will sell you a traditional gluten free panettone […] The po...

Many of you know that I do my best to answer your questions that come in via email. I spend quite a bit of time replying by email, and more time researching some of the more specific questions. Some of you know that I've been working on a book aimed at people caring for coeliac […] The post Raising Your Coeliac Child appeared first on Free Fr...

After years of attending the Allergy and Free From Fair in both London and Liverpool, I'm very excited that as well as visiting all the stalls, I've been invited to speak at the Liverpool one next week (on Saturday at 2pm, in case you're interested). I'm going to talk about our experience as parents of […] The post Allergy and Free From Fair ...

I was very interested to see this article from FreeFromHeaven today, about a teenager who has organised a gluten free foodbank in America. I have wondered in the past about how someone with coeliac disease would manage—or indeed other dietary requirements—if they had to use a foodbank. I contacted the Trussell Trust some time ago, [R...

Coeliac Daughter was talking at a conference yesterday, about what it's like to be a free from Millennial. Odd: I don't think of her as a Millennial! But it did make me think about how much things have improved since the days when I made her gluten free look-a-like "tinned spaghetti" and chicken nuggets to […] The post Things can only get bet...

I've been cooking for five or more for over two decades, but now our household is reducing in size as the children leave for university, one at a time, and we will be down to two by the autumn. Each of my children are (or will be, when the last one goes) cooking for themselves, […] The post Gluten free cooking for two appeared first on Free F...
