My final day of judging had arrived. Again, I had a beautiful group of judges – Rachel Burkingshore (7 years until diagnosis), Paul Degnan, Helen Jones from BFree and Lorna Rhodes from Nutrition Dynamics. We had really good fun and I scored the products in both of these categories higher than any other I have […]
Hi, I am Megan and I am 7. Amalie (who is 4) is my little sister. We got invited to judge the kid’s section of the FreeFrom Food Awards on the 18th January 2020. We were asked because we are coeliac what means we are gluten free and Amalie is also dairy free so we are […]
It was the second day of judging for the FreeFrom Food Awards (FFFA) for me and what a lovely panel of judges we had. It was great to meet Lucinda, founder of Genius and fab to catch up with Emma Amoscato from Free From Farmhouse, Nicki Clowes and David Johnstone. What a fabulous bunch. BREAKFAST What […]
Take me back to January!! What has happened to the world since then?! I hope everyone is safe and well during this crazy time. Finally, we have written our blog posts about our fabulous experience of judging for the FreeFrom Food Awards (FFFA). My kiddywinks have also done one this year, so you can look […]
Here we are, 2020… and this brand new decade brings big news and lots of excitement for Safer Eating. And major changes for me. I made a very tricky decision at the end of 2019 to hand in my notice for my clinical manager post in the NHS. I have worked in the NHS for […]
I was very pleased to meet Tim Betts and Ellis Northover, the founders of Dinepilot last month. Firstly, we were sitting next to each other watching The Allergy Today Podcast. Then, the next thing I hear, they are finalists for the ‘Best Food Tech Innovation of the Year’ at Food Matters Live 2019 and since […]
As you probably spotted on our social media channels, I was down at Food Matters Live in November. I mainly positioned myself at the new Match stage for the whole two days as there were lots of discussions regarding food allergies and the free-from world. When I arrived, the discussion on ‘The future of freefrom […]
When we were down at the Allergy Show this summer, we met Harry Carr-Ellison and Jack Shaw in the pub next door after the show. They were really good fun, and telling us about their company and the amazing back-story. So, obviously we had to go and find their stand the next day to try […]
I am definitely a late starter with tasting menus, and now that I am gluten and milk free – I am not the easiest person to cater for. Thankfully, a few weeks ago, this all changed when I bought my husband a meal for his birthday at The Swine That Dines on North Street in […]
Hello, my name is Jemma, and I must confess, truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of pizza. The combination of the heavy wheat dough and lashings of dairy cheese, made me flop into a instant food coma and give me belly ache for hours. The one thing that I did love about […]
Last weekend Rory and Karen visited the Allergy and Free From show London 2019. It was a pretty crazy ride from start to finish, with the two of them clocking up a combined 52k steps on the Saturday. Rory: It’s an absolute pleasure going to events like this. We see lots of old friends and […]
In my last blog post, I talked about my diagnosis of coeliac disease (The road to a coeliac diagnosis). When I chat to anyone about it, most people ask me how I cope when there are so many things that I can’t eat and drink now – I have to admit, at first it was […]
