Philadelphia Chutney Company
Last week I was invited by the owner of Philly Chutney Company to sample some of the restaurant’s gluten free dishes. Approximately 60% of the dishes on their current menu are gluten free but they were looking for my advice on how they could make some changes to ingredients/cooking procedures in an effort to make

Is It Obvious When You Eat Gluten?
I often hear from people about how terrible they feel after they accidentally eat gluten and it’s got me wondering why personally I rarely feel this way…
Gluten Free Store
You’ve been diagnosed as celiac. Your gluten free diet makes you feel like you again. Now it’s time to buy the t-shirt! Gluten Free Traveller now has a store!

Gluten Free Traffic Light Rice
Since being diagnosed as coeliac, rice has been my gluten free best friend! Thankfully, I was always much more of a rice girl in pre-coeliac days anyway so using rice in a large percentage of my meals feels normal to me. Bibimbap, a Korean rice dish which literally means ‘mixed meal’ was one of my

Gluten Free Egg and Black Bean Tortillas
In 2007 I spent 4 months in Central America, mainly Mexico and Guatemala, and this is where I fell in love with corn tortillas. Almost every day in Mexico I ate street tacos which are small corn tortillas with beef, onions and cilantro (coriander) bought from and eaten at a cart. They were so simple,

Gluten Free Mumbai Bistro, Philadelphia
This weekend we had a couple of friends visiting us in Philly and after many walking hours of city exploring on Saturday, the hunt was on for something tasty and gluten free for dinner. We all decided that some sort of take out was the way to go and when I came across Mumbai Bistro

Gluten Free Cajun Jambalaya
The Super Bowl is a pretty big event in the US. To be honest I’m not a huge fan of American football. No, actually, I think it’s possibly the dullest sport ever but what I do enjoy is the food culture that goes with this huge sporting day! There are ridiculous amounts of food being

Gluten Free Pancakes
Last weekend John made me gluten free pancakes. I like pancakes but they are not something I find myself eating very often. This is probably because pancakes tend to be more of a breakfast food and being a cereal monster myself, this doesn’t leave much room for what could perhaps result in more interesting breakfast

Gluten Free Spicy Sausage Polenta
I first started eating polenta in Argentina, basically because it was ridiculously cheap ($0.50 for 1kg), the bag said it could be prepared in one minute and as there was no gluten free breakfast cereal to be found this was the next best thing. I cooked it almost every morning with cinnamon and fruit like

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Kimchi Pizza
The inspiration for my sweet potato and kimchi pizza comes from my year living and working in South Korea as an English teacher. This was in 2006, 3 years before the term gluten free ever crossed my lips. South Korea is magical. I boarded a plane in Manchester, England and disembarked in a completely unknown
