Italy isn’t the first place you think of when it comes to gluten-free dining. Avalanches of flour, chefs tossing sticky dough and bowls of wheat-laden spaghetti whizzing by your head: a trattoria kitchen is to gluten-dodgers what Snake Island is to Brazil. But I’ve visited…
Before flying to Sorrento, I have to admit I was a teeny bit nervous. Unlike Italy’s capital, there wasn’t realms of ‘gluten-free Sorrento’ resources to plan out my food itinerary. And as much as I’m a bit of a free spirit, when it comes to…
Nothing beats Thai flavours. The tang of lemon grass, the fire of ginger, the spicy tingle of chilli. Throw in some pingingly zingy lime, garlic’s robust kick, fresher-than-fresh coriander and an exotic coconut hug – you’ve got yourself a party. Luckily for us, gluten-free Thai recipes…
The first thing I noticed about Sorrento was the lemons. Lemon biscuits, lemon soap, lemons embroidered into tea-towels, boozy lemony liqueurs. Lemons, lemons, lemons. Just as James Joyce once said a good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub, the same could…
Sometimes, my mam whips up something so effortlessly and blows our fragile minds (and makes us put on at least five pounds). This week, it was a mint-choc After Eight gluten-free cheesecake. It’s the richest, most flavoursome, indulgent cheesecake I’ve even had – and she…

It’s a good time to be a coeliac lager-drinker. Peroni Nastro Azzurro rolled out a gluten-free version of their beer last year – I’ve swilled back a cold bottles in Italy, Pizza Express, and found four-packs in both Tesco and Morrisons. It’s by far the best…
People who buy gluten free food spend £2,000 a year more than your standard supermarket shopper. TWO GRAND. Personally, I think it’s more than that. Back when I was gluten, dairy, egg, soy, nightshade and everything else free (a nightmare year of following the ‘autoimmune…
How do you pronounce the word ‘scone’? To rhyme with ‘cone’ or to rhyme with ‘gone’? For me and my northern roots, it’s the latter. But this savoury gluten free scone recipe is so good it quite often makes me break out into the long…
Inequality may still be rife on the court, with Andy Murray speaking out over sexism today. But while the ratio of men to women playing matches remains, shockingly, two-to-one, things have been more positive for the gluten free community this year. For coeliacs, the news is probably…
