Heinz have staked a claim in the free-from market with their Deliciously Gluten Free pasta range - producing pasta that is as good as, if not better, than their 'original' gluten-packed varieties. We discovered their Deliciously Gluten Free Penne at the London 2013 Allergy & Free From Show in June and it really is the best gluten-free pasta we have tried to date.
As a coeliac of 20 years Debra Lendrum, founder of Deli Divine, knows how hard it is to find great tasting gluten free food. Having searched long and hard and been left lacking she set up Deli Divine in order to bring quality products and new discoveries together in one place, saving you the time and effort of shopping around for the best intolerance friendly foods. All the gluten free foods at Deli Divine have been taste-tested by Debra's gluten eating hubby - to ensure that they are full of flavour and not free-from taste.
In the approach to this weekend's Allergy & Free From Show at Olympia (7-9 June), which is regarded as a major highlight in the free from food retailers calendar, Fria, Sweden's most successful, award-winning gluten-free bakery and the market-leader in the Scandinavian countries, has announced that its products are now available in the UK through more than sixty online and independent retailers including GoodnessDirect.
Honeybuns, the award-winning bakery based in Dorset, will be setting new standards in the realm of off-the-shelf home baking mixes with the launch of their Sponge Cake Mix, the first of three eagerly awaited new gluten-free home baking mixes. This versatile Cake Mix has a nuttiness and slightly caramelised flavour owing to the use of ground flaxseed and brown sugar respectively.
We discovered Chia at the Natural & Organic Product Show 2013 at Olympia, where this tiny seed was being billed as "Nature's Complete Superfood" . Chia, available in two colour varieties, is high in nutrition that is essential for a healthy diet, including Omega 3, dietary fibre and protein - as well as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
On Saturday 11th May 2013 the Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa welcomed guests to an evening of gourmet gluten-free dining with guest speaker Martin Vozar, co-founder of CELIA lager. With a delicious gluten-free menu, paired wines and an entertaining guest speaker the evening was guaranteed to be a success.
