Gluten free air travel
Published 23 June, 2009
The nice folks at FlyBe just sent me on article on gluten free air travel. To be honest, it's nothing earth-shattering but it does serve as a reminder for all the basic precautions to take and preparations to make when travelling by plane. Here it is...

Gluten free, egg free, dairy free waffle recipe
Published 24 May, 2009
I know the waffle is part of the American psyche, but here in the UK I reckon the pancake is the lead sweet breakfast player. And in our gluten free household, waffles hadn't graced the table in decades.
Until my birthday that is. When Gluten Free Wifie presented me with a gorgeous wee... Continue Reading
Roast sea trout recipe
Published 23 May, 2009
This isn't going to be hard.
Take one whole sea trout. Roast it at 200C/400F until just cooked at the shoulder. (you can tell by prying the flesh apart with the tip of a knife and looking). Don't overcook it. Rest for 5 minutes. Eat it.
You don't need to season it, herb it, or otherwise mess... Continue Reading
Great Granola Bar Challenge - Recipe 1
Published 21 May, 2009
I'm starting a quest to make the ultimate granola bar - with the challenging caveats that it must be gluten free, dairy free, soya free, egg free AND should be robust enough to handle a bouncy day in a kid's rucksack.
I know, not so easy.
It's easy enough to go and buy a nut bar, but I find... Continue Reading
Deep fill sweet potato, tuna and roast pepper tortilla
Published 4 April, 2009
Years ago, when we were travelling in New Zealand, we visited a cafe in Little River on the Banks Peninsular near Christchurch. Filled with local arts and crafts, the cafe also did a deep-filled sweet potato tortilla, which Gluten Free Wifie enjoyed several times (on different visits ;-)
Report: Getting gluten free food in Korea
Published 1 April, 2009
I'm always really chuffed when website visitors take the time to help others by sending in their stories of travelling as coeliacs. Getting gluten free food when you're on vacation or holidaying abroad is one thing that can make or break your trip.
Yesterday, I got an email from Ed Fisher... Continue Reading
3 steps to choose a gluten free restaurant
Published 30 March, 2009
After my recent successful trip to Glasgow, I was rather pleased to have survived 8 meals without being poisoned.
When making my selection, I didn't just go for the first restaurant that said "Yes, no problem", I looked at the menus, sent emails and generally did some serious groundwork. I... Continue Reading
So, was Glasgow gluten free?
Published 30 March, 2009
My last post was about plans to go to Glasgow and how I chose gluten free restaurants.
Well, I'm back, and still alive :)
But did I get gluten-ed in Glasgow?
Go gluten free in Glasgow
Published 26 March, 2009
This is kind of niche. If you don't live near Glasgow, Scotland you probably won't care.
But then again, the approach I took to finding gluten free hotels and restaurants applies anywhere you're thinking of travelling to. I've even made it easy for you by providing the text of an email I... Continue Reading

Making nut milks - almond, hazlenut etc
Published 21 November, 2008
Almond milk is nice. Hazlenut (filbert) milk is even nicer, especially in a latte. But the trouble is, when you buy them in cartons they come laced with corn maltodextrin and other nasties that I don't want to be ingesting. They may be gluten free, but who knows just 'how' gluten free? So I... Continue Reading
Lamb & Sweet Potato Pate
Published 8 September, 2008
It was another of those 'what the heck am I going to have for breakfast' mornings. The fridge was bare apart from some leftover lamb. There were a couple of wrinkled looking sweet potatoes in the cupboard. What was a starving coeliac to do while the kids tucked into steaming hot rice and... Continue Reading
Sweet potato mash with fennel
Published 2 September, 2008
I've followed this Gordon Ramsay sweet potato recipe a few times, but there comes a time when every man must go it alone. So I tweaked it. Not radically, I'll admit, but noticeably, and with the dover sole I ate it with, I might even go as far as to say it was better. (Don't tell Gordon ;)... Continue Reading
Savoury gluten free muffins
Published 26 August, 2008
I must admit, I'm a latecomer to the concept of savoury muffins, gluten free or otherwise. Apart from your standard cheesy muffin, I've never really come across them - don't know if they're an American thing or what.
Anyway, as I often do, to escape from the corner that various food... Continue Reading
So easy dairy free rice pudding recipe
Published 20 August, 2008
Dairy free gluten free wifie is a bit of a fan of the rice pudding, but since the dairy intolerance was diagnosed, we've not been able to make a properly creamy one.
However, a moment of inspiration in the supermarket the other day led to this tasty little number, that does everything a real... Continue Reading
How to eat gluten free in Majorca
Published 11 August, 2008
Majorca (Mallorca) is a favourite holiday destination for us Brits. And now we coeliac Brits can be confident in eating gluten free when we get there.
Carmen Barcelo contacted me recently to ask if she could use the Spanish gluten free restaurant card in the book, and now she's completed it,... Continue Reading
The best gluten free biscuits ever?
Published 9 August, 2008
Oh the joy. After years, nay decades, of toil and torment, I've finally made a gluten free biscuit that makes gluten-eaters sit up and take notice.
Don't get me wrong, this ain't no fancy-pants spiced creamy foo-foo biscuit. This is a down-to-earth, honest-to-goodness gluten free biscuit.... Continue Reading
Breakfast lentil dal
Published 9 August, 2008
Breakfast lentil dal??? :) Yep! Apparently it's quite a fave over in India, and with my gluten-free, yeast-free, everything-else-free breakfast options becoming more and more limited, I thought I'd see if I could knock together something lentilly and breakfast-friendly. Which means not too... Continue Reading
Fennel and samphire fishcakes
Published 30 July, 2008
I've always been found of the humble fish cake but today the fish cake I'm making is not quite so humble. After dinner tonight we had some roast fennel and some sun fire grass left over. I know fancy you and some and also some salmon and some place. So I've whipped them all together into... Continue Reading
Cooking chard, kale, spinach… all things green
Published 29 July, 2008
At this time of year, our garden is bursting with greenery - chard, beets, kale, cavelo nero, perpetual spinach... it's a veritable forest of tasty and nutritious leaves. But what to do with it all? Fresh green from the garden are great for coeliacs of course, with their high calcium content and other useful bone minerals, but when you've got as much as we have, you need some seriously creative recipes to avoid getting bored with them.
