The Gluten Free Blog

The Cookery School in the UK has recently launched a gluten free baking course set in the beautiful location of the Braxted Park Estate in Essex.

Dr Vivien D’Arcy has joined the team for these new one day gluten free baking courses to share her passion and knowledge for all things gluten-free. Vivien has been cooking gluten-free and dairy-free cuisine for 5 years, and for 2 years she has been running a successful gluten-free bakery business.

That’s what I thought after visiting Vozars gluten free restaurant in Brixton Village market in south west London at the weekend.

We’d come across Vozars before as Ben and his team had kindly sent us some gluten free beer to try before Christmas. CELIA Lager is a premium organic, gluten free lager from the Czech Republic, which is now available via numerous stockists and of course served at Vozars.  (Just for the record, CELIA Lager was tested by the other half who’s a real speciality beer drinker and a gluten lover and he thought it was great. “Light, refreshing and you’d never know it was gluten free.”)
