Gluten Free Tofu Black Bean Chilli

  I like to eat meat sometimes but recently I’ve been experimenting with vegetarian dishes. Tofu is an ingredient I’ve been using a lot.

What Is Gluten?

What is gluten? This is often the first question I’m asked when I tell people that I’m celiac and that I’m on a strict gluten free diet. I guess it makes sense to wonder what this strange thing is that makes myself and so many others terribly sick. I think I probably asked my doctor

Gluten Free Paris, France

Paris is fantastic. Paris is, well, it’s Paris. I’ve been lucky to visit the French capital on three different occasions over the years but all of this was before I was on a strict gluten free diet.
