El Sabor
Almost every week I meet up with my best friends for dinner and drinks and recently I’ve been trying to find new places to go to prevent us ending up at the same places every week. This time I took a look at 5pm.co.uk which is a good website for booking meals with restaurants offering

Gluten Free Advent Calendars
It’s fast approching that time of year again when a little chunk of chocolate with breakfast for the 24 days leading up to Christmas starts sounding like a good idea. Looking around the stores recently I’m faced with all of these little doors, numbered 1-24, and I find myself wondering whether or not there is a

Glucose syrup??
My colleagues are always bringing in snacks for the lunch table at work but generally these are cakes, biscuits and chocolates that I’m not allowed. Today I went to make myself a cup of tea and noticed some tasty looking dates..great, I thought, finally something I can nibble! Off course I looked at the ingredients first (a coeliac

La Tasca
This week my boyfriend and I were invited out to dinner with a group of people, most of whom I hadn’t met before, and my first thought was that I didn’t want to go somewhere that would be difficult to find gluten free options. I love going out to eat and trying new restaurants but

The Wheelhouse, Falkirk
Last weekend my brother and his wife came up from London for the weekend. My dad wanted to take us all out for dinner on the Saturday night and he decided on The Wheelhouse in Falkirk.

Prepacked Sushi
One of my favourite lunchtime snacks is prepacked Sushi, which I normally buy from Tesco, Asda or Sainsburys in the UK. It’s also something I normally buy to take with me when I travel. I know that generally Sushi is natually gluten free, especially Nigiri which is simply raw fish and rice, but can I be sure that

Gluten Free Pic n Mix
Delicious pic n mix is my favourite treat, especially when I’m watching a movie at the cinema but I’m not sure whether or not I can have it anymore.  A lot of pic n mix retailers don’t display the ingredients of each sweet so it’s hard to tell which sweets are gluten free and which aren’t. I know that things
