Udi’s Gluten Free box of goodies

If you’re an American stranded on this side of the Atlantic or you’re someone who loves American grub, you’ll be pleased to know that Udi’s, the famous, award-winning gluten free brand from the US is now available here in the UK.

There are 19 products in the range, including freshly baked gluten-free bagels in three delicious flavours, soft brown and white sandwich bread, classic white rolls and finger rolls, tasty muffins, toaster pastries, ancient grain crisps, granola, fruity breakfast bars and mince pies.

And we were fortunate, recently, to receive a lovely hamper from the nice people at Udi’s. We didn’t waste any time tucking into the products. Read the rest of this entry »

Dell’Ugo Gluten Free Penne Pasta

Dell’Ugo is the UK’s largest fresh pasta brand and has been making pasta since 1929. But did you know they do an amazing gluten free range too?

So how did their gluten free range come about? Turns out, Kate, the wife of Dell’Ugo owner Paul Ugo is wheat sensitive, and he wanted them enjoy pasta meals together again. Awww. Well hooray for Paul. Because the Dell’Ugo’s gluten free penne pasta has been designed to mimic the taste, texture and consistency of a regular gluten pasta. So it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between the two. And it only contains high quality maize and rice too. Which means it’s really flavoursome. Read the rest of this entry »

Woman&Home Eating Smart Magazine

When this magazine launched last year we immediately became big fans. The spring edition is out now and as usual it’s packed full of gluten free and dairy free recipes from the likes of Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver and Saturday Kitchen’s James Martin.

We love the Meals in 30 Minutes section that includes In-a-hurry curry and Butternut Squash and Beetroot Tortilla with Goats’ Cheese. I’ll be making that this week.

The baking section includes marzipan-topped fruit cakes and an amazing looking Hazelnut and Chocolate cake. And the Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots are a diet-killer. So to make up for it, check out the low-calorie meals that include North African Fish Tagine and Lemon and Coriander Hummus. Read the rest of this entry »

When I lived in LA going to Whole Foods Market on 3rd and Fairfax was a regular Saturday morning occurrence. As was stopping by the juice bar afterward and ‘treating’ myself to some super healthy green drink that normally tasted like cut grass. So LA! Back in the UK I was thrilled when Whole Foods took over the old Barkers building in Kensington; it’s worth a visit just for the freshly made peanut butter. And now there are nine stores in the UK with the new Fulham store opening this week (April 10th 2014). Read the rest of this entry »

BFree Gluten Free Brown Seeded Loaf

We’re big Genius fans here at Gluten Free Blog. So when we got our hands on a brown seeded bloomer by BFree, the fast growing and award-winning free-from brand from Ireland, we knew it had to be pretty special if it was going to make a regular appearance on our shopping list.
