M&S Food killing it with their gluten free picky bits, most of which were found in the regular aisles rather than the Free From range. Special mention to the cheddar and pickled onion crisps and the chicken caesar dip, both divine 👌

This cookie pie was unreal 🤯

I'm a hobby baker and one of the biggest worries I've had since my Coeliac diagnosis is whether I'll be able to bake all my favourite things and them still taste as good! I did a non gluten free version of this right before being diagnosed and then felt gutted that I might never enjoy it again 😥

BUT with a bit of researching and winging it, I made this white chocolate cookie pie with a white chocolate ganache and hazelnut creme filling and it was DELICIOUS - giving Kinder Bueno vibes.

If anyone fancies giving it a go, the recipe is in the comments 👇

My first experience travelling abroad with Coeliac Disease ✨️

Whilst it definitely involved a bit of researching in advance, it was a huge relief that there were a number of dedicated gluten free safe places to eat that meant the whole holiday didn't revolve around eating out stress 😅

My top spots for trying if you're visiting Budapest:

📍RETRO LANGOS
Incredible traditional langos - which is sort of a mix between a large donut/garlic bread and honestly one of the best things I ate. Retro Langos is the best place for langos with a dedicated gluten free menu 🙌

📍EDES MACKO
Serves gluten free chimney cakes on Wednesdays and Fridays only - this was so delicious and absolutely huge. I had a cinnamon glazed with vanilla cream and was 10/10

📍PIROS PAPRIKA
Isn't a dedicated gluten free spot and doesn' have lots of choices, BUT does detail very carefully every food item that contains gluten and had good knowledge for avoiding cross contamination. This hungarian sausage came with onion mash, sauerkraut and honey mustard and was divine

📍FREE BAKERY
All gluten free options and also offered lactose free and vegan bakes. The lemon cruffin was lush, and the cheese bun, pain au chocolat and cinnamon swirl were fairly good - need to be eaten fresh (and not like me, scoffed the next morning at the airport)

📍NONGLUTEN ITALIAN
Completely gluten free menu, carbonate was great but my partner's pizza was incredible. Definitely recommend and staff were super lovely 👌

📍KAPTAFA
A cute little nook for breakfast/brunch - lots of gluten free choices and clearly labelled. The toast that came with my eggs was the best gf bread I've tried! Staff had good knowledge of Coeliacs

Honourable mentions that we didn't get chance to explore include:
📍Bohemtanya- a dedicated gluten free restaurant serving traditional Hungarian dishes
📍Tibidabo - gluten free bakery with pastries, cakes and sandwiches
📍McDonalds - because they actually have gluten free bun options so you can enjoy a cheeseburger!

Some of this week's meals ✨️

The messages I've most often received from friends who, like me, are navigating a new gluten free/coeliac friendly lifestyle are that they're struggling for meal inspiration. So here's a few meals/things I've cooked this week on a high protein gluten free diet ✨️

My favourite finds eating out in Cornwall this weekend! 🌊

This has been my first experience of eating out in public and away from home since being diagnosed. It's a bit nerve wracking not having the certainty that planning and prepping at home has, but with some research and planning ahead along with the Find Me Gluten Free app, I found so many spots that offered gluten free options and reviews on coeliac safe spots that take cross contamination seriously!

It's been a lush weekend of eating, drinking and socialising and I've not had to miss out of anything - including the Cornish rites of passage (must have a pasty and an ice cream when visiting)

A trip to Cornwall meant hitting the BIG Asda at Penryn and their free from aisle did NOT disappoint 😍

So much choice of everyday items that I've not seen in other stores and the prices are actually a steal for some items - especially when it feels like we have to pay a premium for free from products 🫠

Here are some of my favourite spots - all of which came in less than £3 each (including the Kikkoman gf soy sauce 🤤)

If you're newly coeliac/gluten free, or a friend family member wanting to support with a gluten free diet, it's so important to be aware of those everyday foods that contain gluten without us even realising it. Wheat/barley is often added into food as binding agents, thickener or flavour enhancers so it's useful to know what to avoid or what switches can be made to make eating safe.

Here's a few I've recently learned about (and yes, Dairy Milk is absolutely classed an an every day food 😅)

Shocked to see how many meat products have hidden gluten in them 🤯 either uses for flavouring or as binding ingredients.

Aldi UK are the place to shop if, like me, you eat a high protein diet and are searching for the gluten free goods 😍 Perfect for quick dinners or BBQ season!
