Delicious Gluten-Free Bruschetta with Mango and Mozzarella
Posted on March 7, 2016 Leave a Comment
Bruschetta with a fresh twist! Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a good old sandwich. But don’t you sometimes get tired of that same old cheese and ham squeezed between two sorry slices of plain bread? I sure do.. -And that’s why the heavens gave us bruschetta: a crispy, flavourful, fresh open sandwich, with no other […]
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Blueberry Vanilla Bread Pudding with Coconut!
Posted on July 27, 2015 2 Comments
This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free adaptable, low-FODMAP adaptable, lacto/ovo and lacto-ovo vegetarian. A fresh, modern take on a classic Bread pudding is a popular dessert in so many countries, but often considered a bit of a heavy and “old-fashioned” dish. I think that this wonderful, classic pudding deserves a fresh and contemporary revival! Out go […]

Have you been looking for gluten-free liquorice by any chance?

As a Scandinavian, I simply cannot live without salty liquorice. […]

Gluten-free, allergy-friendly and “healthier” sweets; Who can we trust?
Posted on February 19, 2014 9 Comments
Sweets for my sweet.. It is not always easy for children (or adults for that matter) with sensitivities and allergies to feel “normal”. A lot of our sense of belonging stems from participation in activities along with our peers, and food plays a huge role in most social gatherings. For children especially, the sense of […]

Vegan, Low FODMAP, Failsafe and Gluten Free alternative to Honey!
Posted on January 27, 2014 2 Comments
Erykah Badu once said that “Honey isn’t really that good for you” …and if you are vegan, low FODMAP, allergic, on a Failsafe diet, macrobiotic diet or simply under the age of 12 months, Ms. Badu is quite right. Honey has a lot of health benefits, but as with every other food, these benefits are […]

Life in Technicolor to the detriment of our health. Food colours are tricky. Many people, kids and adults, react to colourings, and you shouldn’t let the word “natural” fool you..

Another Natural, Chemical-Free, Gluten-Free Sunscreen!
Posted on October 17, 2013 6 Comments
(image source) Sunscreen is probably the most difficult thing to find a decent natural alternative for. I’ve written a review of Invisible Zink previously, and now it’s time for another alternative. Most sunscreens, although totally necessary, contain a cocktail of chemicals, parabens, perfumes and preservatives. The big question is as always: how can I get broad spectrum […]
All Natural, Chemical-Free, Gluten-Free Sunscreen!
Posted on September 20, 2013 3 Comments
Being on a complete elimination diet and living in sunny Australia poses one giant conundrum; sun protection. Most sunscreens, although totally necessary, contain a cocktail of chemicals, parabens, perfumes and preservatives. How can I get broad spectrum high protection without all the gunk?

‘Tis the season to dream of Christmas! It may just be August, but I’ve been in quite the Christmas spirit lately. I even rented some silly x-mas movies last night, and I’m playing with the idea of heading back to Europe come snowfall..
How to WIN with a Checkerboard Cake! (and the GABO gluten dilemma)
Posted on July 15, 2013 15 Comments
GABO or “Great Australian Bake Off” is sweeping over the nation with soggy sponges and crumbling cupcakes in tow. A self-raising baking frenzy is taking off like a rogue blender, and the heavily frosted pink counterpart to the much applauded Master Chef and MKR, is eagerly waiting to claim it’s 15 minutes of fame.

Thumbs up to Glutafin!

(Photo from http://www.glutafin.co.uk) I just want to mention that back in the UK I received a lovely heaping hamper of really rather decent gluten-free products from a company called Glutafin. For no special reason other than being a newly diagnosed coeliac!
Pasta, not porrige
Posted on December 13, 2012 Leave a Comment
Just thought I’d mention that I found a good pasta brand. I hate mushy, soggy, wet and overcooked pasta. Pasta that swells up and fills the pot, disappears through the strainer and dissolves when you try to stab at it with your fork. San Remo does it better. I really like their fettuccine. Al dente, at […]
Hands down the best marshmallows I’ve ever tasted!
Posted on December 12, 2012 Leave a Comment
Airports (something I see a lot of) are usually a no-can-do for GF treats. In fact, travelling Sydney-Gold Coast today I couldn’t even track down GF lozenges, let alone anything edible. However, last week I had a little moment of thrill in newly renovated Auckland International, as I came across a tiny treasure of a […]
