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 judged. As I said in my last blog post, well done manufacturers – the quality and variety has improved significantly.

MEATY AND FISHY READY MEALS

It was rather odd judging this category at 10:00 in the morning, but I actually really, really enjoyed the products. It was nearly all ‘orange food’ as my husband affectionately calls things like chicken nuggets and breaded fish, but it is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, so all was good.

There were such a variety of items, it was fab. There was a time when we literally couldn’t buy anything like this before. With three coeliacs in my house and two of us also dairy-free, it is really lovely to occasionally just be able to shove something in the oven with absolutely no hassle.

There was free from scampi, chicken and fish goujons, breaded cod, chicken nuggets, tempura fish and fish fingers. It was all such good quality – tasty breadcrumbs or batter, really flaky fish and nice pieces of chicken. Impressive.

I was introduced to one of my faves, a free-from chicken kiev, at the awards ceremony last year and it was back this year! Oh my, I love it. I really miss chicken kievs.

I have never seen many gluten and dairy-free fish cakes in the shops I go to, so this was quite a unique entry for me. From memory (should have written it down), I think it had sweet chilli in too. They were definitely really tasty.

I also wanted to mention these southern fried chicken fillets. Again, really good quality, and it is so difficult for us to get anything like a KFC or similar. I will have a stash of these in the freezer from now on.

There were lots of sausages and a burger too. I’ve found that there is a great variety of sausages available for us in most stores now. And, apparently the sandwich was really good, although, I unfortunately couldn’t eat it as it had milk in.

• 

• 

There were also some curries – both of which were very good quality and didn’t taste like a ready meal at all. I was really pleased that they didn’t have milk in and I got to treat myself. Result! I definitely didn’t need much lunch and had overdosed myself on salt, but I managed to try 20/22 of the products so I was a very happy judge.

CONFECTIONERY AND CHOCOLATE

Next it was confectionery and I had learned my lesson from the day before and very carefully took small amounts of each chocolate, chuckling at the others falling into the sugar trap. I believe my chuckle was actually described as a cackle by the lovely Cressida, how rude. Hee hee.

The designs of the above chocolates were amazing – sparking gold on one and the texture inside looked fab too – unfortunately I couldn’t have them due to the milk thing (again).

• 

• 

Michelle ramped up the entertainment in this section by smashing the chocolate eggs. I was so focused on videoing that, I nearly forgot to try two products as they were passed around the table.

• 

• 

• 

There were chewy sweets and lots and lots of chocolate.

Michelle had her best crockery out for the occasion – beautiful plates and presentation, which made everything look even better.

• 

• 

There were some luscious truffles, and as for the gifts category, I was so impressed with the range of chocolates this year. Lots of flavoured entries that I hadn’t tried before.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

These sessions both got my top marks of any category I have ever judged. Again, well done manufacturers – really upped the game.

• 

• 

These two entries were pretty unique indeed. Guess what the product on the right is? Well, they’re cappuccino and dark chocolate roasted chickpeas obviously. I mean, talk about innovation. They weirdly reminded me of Revels – but I loved them. The ones on the left were coconut flavoured.

• 

• 

• 

•

It was lovely to see so many seasonal entries too, with two tricky-eating kids, I know how much difference it can make. There were Easter bunnies, Christmas themed chocs, Santa lollies, and beautifully flavoured Easter eggs. And, once we had worked out who would receive the sweet victory, my time judging was over for 2020. Can’t wait until next year already.

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 free from. It was in Reading at Christine Bailey’s house which was a long way to go but I was really excited to go, so we went.

On the way there I stopped by one of our friend’s houses for the night. While we were there I gave myself  a carpet burn. We also had our first McDonald’s.

These are unicorn cupcakes. They’re my favourite out of everything I tried. There was a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing and sprinkles or lemon cupcake with strawberry icing and a unicorn head. Really pretty decorations. I scored them a 10. I loved them, they were great and the icing was good too!

There was also a caterpillar cake, caramel egg and truffles and gummy bears which were all yummy.

Amalie loved all of the sweet stuff like chocolate and cake. She loves chocolate and loves it when we get cake that she can eat. Amalie nearly put 10 down for everything she tried.

Amalie really liked the rice crispies because they had a different taste. We both loved the banana wrap, and it had syrup dribbled all over it.

I did not like this drink because it is a soy drink and I am not a big fan of soya, so I did not like it at all.

I really liked the carob and orange things. I liked them so much that I had about five of them. The mozzarella sticks were really good, but Amalie couldn’t eat them because they have milk in. We both really liked the goujons.

We couldn’t eat the gingerbread man because it has oats in but we could still have the icing. On the way home we had another McDonald’s and Amalie put icing on her sandwich LOOK! It was very funny.

(The awards ceremony is on the 28th April – keep a look out on social media for the winners)

Photos and blog post – all by Megan Woodford, aged 7

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 better way to start the day, than by judging the breakfast category?! Unfortunately, this was probably the worst category for my dietary requirements. As you probably know, I am gluten and dairy free. Sixteen of the products had oats in and a few had milk in too. So, I could only judge a third of them. As you can see from my face in the photo above, I was rather upset about this.

The subject of coeliacs and oats really intrigues me. I know the percentage of coeliacs that react to oats is supposed to be really low, but every other judge I met that had coeliac couldn’t eat oats either. Very odd.

This session kicked off with vegan sausage. I normally don’t like veggie sausages, but these were really good – they did remind me very much of stuffing, but what’s wrong with a bit of sage on a morning?

There were muffins, croissants, cinnamon and chocolate danish pastries galore. Unfortunately, the danish pastries and croissants had milk in – sob! A random chocolate crispie cake entry and A LOT of porridge.

•

• 

There were quite a few cereal entries – bran flakes, corn flakes and different granolas and muesli. The flakes were surprisingly tasty, and there was one that was made out of the teff grain which is unique.

• 

• 

My faves in this section were surprisingly a soya-based cocao drink and the veggie sausages I talked about earlier. Two things I would not have expected at all.

We always get the most amazing lunches at Michelle’s – amazing fresh salad and dips. Check out the gorgeous variety of colour and beautiful fresh veg. She has to cater for a very large amount of dietary requirements too, as you can imagine, so we all salute her skills. We definitely need the lunches to be light as you usually end up eating a fair bit in most categories.

GIFTS

The gift session started by luring us into a false sense of security with an oat cake (which I couldn’t eat obviously). I have never done a category like this one before, so was not aware of how it was going to go. But, I was just about to find out…

• 

• 

Next up were some cookies and cake that I also couldn’t eat – so brain and stomach totally intact.

And then it was… how should I put this… basically death by chocolate!

• 

• 

• 

• 

Every one of us put a whole chocolate in for the first product. Michelle
said, knowingly, I wouldn’t eat that much of each product. There were quite a few variety packs, so you had to try a piece of more than one chocolate too.

Soon, the realisation kicked in. My goodness, you get such a crazy sugar hit that you go into a complete haze, daze… I don’t know how to describe it – it was weird. We most definitely experienced a chocolate overdose.

• 

• 

• 

I was soooooo impressed with this category. The range of free-from chocolates and truffles was absolutely fab – really innovative. Beautifully presented, a huge range of colours and to top it all, amazing quality. I scored nearly all of the chocolates really highly.

Thanks so much manufacturers – you are making life so much better for me and my daughter. Gone are the days of having to settle for plain dark chocolate all the time. I was so excited – honestly like a kid in a sweet shop. I’ve cut down my chocolate consumption significantly since being dairy free, but I am most definitely still a chocoholic, so watch out waistline! And here’s my ever-so-subtle hint to friends and family of what to buy me as a gift.

We then scored each of the products – we were in slightly crazed states, so needed to recruit Boris to come and help us. I believe he is also going to help Michelle with the awards presentation on Tuesday. What an amazing cat.

We then set off to try and walk off all of the sugar. I always find a good old Coke Zero helps to sort me out too. At this point, I was actually a little scared that I was judging confectionary the next day. Eek! What was I in for.

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 forward to reading that too.

Firstly, let me tell you a little bit about the awards… The FFFAs run every year which is all thanks to Michelle Berriedale-Thompson, Cressida Langlands and the rest of the FFFA team.

• 

• 

I feel really honoured to be a judge. I’ve done it for the last three years and always love it (although my stomach sometimes doesn’t agree. Lol). It’s so enjoyable because you meet so many amazing people and it’s really good fun. It’s always fab to see the FFFA’s team too and this year Cressida was even more sparkly than normal – wearing fairy hair.

It’s always great to visit Michelle’s fabulous house too and this year we sadly had to say goodbye. She has moved on to pastures new. I will remember Lawn Road forever, as I’m sure every other judge will too – I don’t think I’ve ever been in a house with so much character. Even going to the loo was fun as there were so many interesting books, pictures and things to look at. Every part of the house had some amazingly quirky decoration.

I was extremely lucky this year and got to judge five different categories. I asked Michelle if I could have some treats, and my goodness, she did not disappoint. It was basically treat, after treat, after treat, after treat. I had sinful foods, breakfasts, gifts, confectionery and erm… meaty and fishy ready meals (I was a little dubious about this one, but it actually turned out to be… another treat).

Sinful foods

So, first up for me was sinful foods. What a category. I was with a beautiful group of judges too.

I’ve got coeliac disease and lactose intolerance, so I can’t have gluten or milk and I also react to gluten-free oats. So, despite being able to have 22/25 desserts and puddings another year, I could only eat 9/19 foods in this category. Boo! This was so little that Michelle said I hadn’t earned my keep, and I had to bargain for a cup of tea. Hee hee.

Of course, in true Karen style I caused a little bit of chaos, dropping my papers all over the floor, stroking Boris (the cat) after he had rolled in something and presenting my scores in an odd way – baffling Michelle.

Now, to the food… The pork pie got my best score. You never quite know if your opinion is a bit skewed though for the stuff you can’t often get your hands on. Anyway, it was delicious. I mean, look at it – it’s a beaut.

I also loved these vegan bon bons – absolutely beautiful presentation and I really liked the taste. They were very expensive though, it would have to be pay day and a very special occasion for me to buy them.

There were also good ol’ classics such as brownies, chocolate eclairs, cookies, rocky roads, mince pies and wafers. Luckily, I could have the chocolate eclairs (they’re an old love of mine), but most of the others had milk in. One of my fellow judges described some cream in one product as hoover fluff though which particularly tickled me – so, maybe I was the lucky one, not being able to eat everything.

There was also a surprise treacle tart. My goodness that took me back – I remember my mum making them pre-coeliac. The taste is so unique – really good though.

There was also some lovely cinder toffee (oh, how I miss Crunchies). Yum!

Scoring was quite tricky for this category, but we managed it. Then it was time to say a goodbye until the following day for another full day of eating treats. Woo hoo! Watch this space for the next judging blog post tomorrow – next up, it’s the breakfast and gifts categories.

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 19 years, but it is definitely the right time for me to step away.

I want to give my all to Safer Eating. Plus it means I get to actually spend time with my family – my husband and my two cheeky young coeliac daughters.

So I am really, really excited about what we can do with more time, brain power, motivation and energy. I want Safer Eating to continue to make a big difference to tricky eaters and businesses alike, and I believe it will grow and grow.

Our main goal is to continue to increase awareness and fly the flag for food allergies, intolerances and coeliac disease. There have been too many horror stories with allergy fatalities and people becoming ill through lack of education. 

We are also going to work hard to keep up our social media presence and continue to offer you helpful information, blog posts and recipes.

I also love this time of year when I plan which exciting events we’ll go to – I’ve already earmarked the Allergy and Free From Shows and the Free From Food Awards and I’m sure there will be many more.

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 then I have seen them all over social media. They have been winning awards left, right and centre including the SoFHT (The Society of Food, Health and Technology) award for ‘Best new product 2019’ and the O2 business award for ‘Giving back to the community through digital connectivity’. Excellent stuff.

So, what is Dinepilot I hear you cry? Dinepilot was launched on 1^st October 2019 and it is a brand, spanking new app which is innovative and unique. And the best thing of all… it’s free. It does exactly what it says on the tin – you can literally pilot your way easily to places that cater for you, i.e. where you can dine.

I asked Tim to tell me what their unique selling point is…

“At Dinepilot, we believe that you have the right to know exactly what’s in your food, so that you can make choices which match your dietary preferences – whether they be for your ethical beliefs, social values or specific health requirements.

“ We insist that our Dinepilot community have the same food information that you would see in the restaurant – no ifs, no buts! We always recommend you check and tell the restaurant about your dietary requirements, however we want our community to help transform the availability of food information and we are really interested to hear what our users are passionate about, be it food allergy, plant-based diets or how their choices impact the environment.”

I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app. The first thing you do is to put in your dietary requirements, and select the allergens you need to avoid (as the above picture shows). So for me, that was gluten free (rye, oats, wheat and barley) and I also need to avoid milk. It saves your filters and allows you to see what restaurants, pubs, bars and other eateries are in your local area. They appear in a list format with images and you can also look at a map. Perfect!

However, there is a difference about this app compared to others I have seen – it removes everything from the menu that you can’t eat. Therefore, you only need to look through the things that you can eat. This feels really nice for tricky eaters like myself. For once, you don’t have to scan past the other hundred dishes on the menu that you once loved, thinking ‘aww, look at all these gorgeous things that I can’t eat anymore (sob).’

Tim asked me for feedback, so I highlighted that if I select the ‘gluten free’ dietary requirement on my filter, most places don’t offer me anything. Tim informed me this was under consideration at the moment and when this filter is selected, the app only filters in places with the gluten free accreditation. This means that a lot of the menus are blank when using this filter. Tim advises me that for their next release of the app (happening very soon) this filter will be removed until enough businesses adopt the gluten free certification.

As a coeliac, as long as I know the venue are following good procedures and processes to reduce the risk of cross-contamination of gluten in the kitchen, then I still eat there. I don’t t necessarily demand the Coeliac UK gluten free accreditation (or equivalent), although this is obviously an added bonus.

What I love about Dinepilot is that you can look at menus in a matter of seconds to see if there are dishes you can eat. For me, it is much quicker than going through the allergy checklists on a company’s website. There are a few places in Leeds that I had no idea could feed me – so already it’s helped. Obviously, I still need to ask questions about cross-contamination when I’m there and there may be more dishes that I can have if they are able to adapt other meals – but it’s a fab way for me to quickly screen places.

On the Dinepilot website, it also demonstrates a picture of a full ingredients list. Tim reports…

“ Where businesses we work with can supply the full ingredients we will display it. We are encouraging all the brands we work with to be transparent and provide a full ingredient list, but we recognise that this is not always possible without significant operational changes. But, one day this will be the norm I am sure!”

At the moment, there are only larger chains on the app. These companies follow strict processes, have a standardised menu and are committed to providing customers with accurate information. Smaller, local food businesses often don’t have a standardised menu and don’t necessarily keep their data up to date to comply with the standards required for Dinepilot, so it is difficult for these to be registered on the app at the moment.

So, why not download the app and use it when you’re out and about over Christmas. I will certainly be putting it to the test when I’m visiting friends and family. I’d love to hear what you think too?

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 foods in the retail/foodservice sector’ was well under way with some amazing speakers. It was chaired by Julian Mellentin, (Founder, New Nutrition) and on the panel were the following people:

Julia Catton, Director of New Product Development, Kinnerton

Elen Ormson, Partner & Health Brand Manager, Waitrose

Rupi Zani, Quality & Safety Director, Pizza Express

Victoria Omobuwajo, Founder, Sunmo

There was a lot of chat about placement of free-from foods in supermarkets and also whether to do separate menus in restaurants for dietary requirements.

Waitrose said that they have separate areas for vegan and vegetarian in the supermarket following customer feedback. There was discussion around some free-from products being mixed in with regular products, and others found in a separate free-from aisle.

I personally find it really difficult to decide on this. It’s much quicker for me to go down the free-from aisle and find what I want. Being gluten and dairy free, the free-from aisle is designed for me though and the products are usually clearly marked on the front for these allergens. However, often free-from products contain other allergens, such as egg, soya, milk and nuts, which makes it much trickier for people avoiding these.

I do most of my shopping online which means that I buy lots of naturally free-from products too and I would struggle to do this in the supermarket as it takes so long – firstly to find things, and then to read the labels.

Kinnerton described their new brand of free-from chocolate, NOMO (No Missing Out), and said this is sold as main stream. After being introduced to NOMO bars at the Allergy Show last year, I can honestly say that they are both mine and Rory’s favourite free-from chocolate now. And anyone that I’ve spoken to that has tried it, loves it too. Thank you Kinnerton!

I was gutted that I didn’t get a NOMO advent calendar quickly enough last year – I will be first in line this year. They looked immense. I have already ordered my Easter egg. See Rory’s blog post (My first EVER chocolate bar… thanks NOMO) for how much he raves about them.

I wonder how easily I would have found NOMO bars if I didn’t know they existed by seeing them at the Allergy Show though?! To find out, I just typed ‘dairy free chocolate’ into my Tesco app and they didn’t come up, but with ‘free from chocolate’ they did – so it would only have been a matter of time I guess.

Pizza Express said that they have gluten-free options on the main menu, but vegan options are on a separate menu. Again, this was following customer feedback. I love this – it’s so easy for me and my family to go to Pizza Express. No effort at all for both gluten and dairy free options, and you feel totally safe. The vegan cheese rocks too.

Rupi reported that the new trends they are seeing is that families are thinking a lot more about diet in relation to other conditions, e.g. eczema. She also said that approximately 8/10 gluten-free children in their restaurants are also dairy free. Julia (Kinnerton) reported that the younger population seem to be driving the trends at the moment, such as veganism. The whole panel agreed that the flexitarian trend is growing. I’ve definitely seen evidence of this amongst my friends and families.

All in all, it was very interesting panel discussion and it definitely gave me a lot to ponder over. I’d love to hear your thoughts on where you prefer free-from products to be in supermarkets and how you like allergen information in restaurants?

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 their products.

Still if, you have any sort of query in mind then the best would be buy viagra in canada to get advice of doctor.

Harry and Jack are cousins and they fell in love with the Myanmar (formally Burmese) tea when they were visiting Southeast Asia. Ginger, red and green tea are all the rage over there. They realised that there was a niche in the market in the UK and The Lost Tea Company was born.

The drinking and edible tea is imported from the hills of Myanmar, and Harry and Jack work closely with small-hold farmers and ensure that sustainability and ecological benefits for Myanmar are at the forefront of their minds. I’ve never heard of edible tea until now – so I’m looking forward to trying that too.

So, what did I think of the tea? To be honest, I didn’t have high hopes at all, but I absolutely loved it immediately. It is so simple and so natural, and they got me hooked on the Myannmar ginger tea.

I can’t have cow’s milk and have never found a decent enough dairy-free milk to go with normal tea. So this is my new thing – I just go around with the day’s ginger tea in an infuser (you can reuse it a good few times) and don’t have to miss out on the hundreds of cups of teas I get offered in meetings each day. Do I want a brew? Actually… yes please!

The ginger tea that I bought is traditionally drunk in Myanmar to boost the immune system and it costs £6.50. I personally think that is a totally fair price as one tin has lasted me months and it has come ALL the way from Southeast Asia.

I’m now panicking as my tin has nearly ran out, so I for one will definitely be purchasing another. Actually, scrap that – I’ll buy two. Good work Lost Tea Company.

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 Leeds and I am really excited to write this blog post, because it was glorious.

There are only about seven tables, so we pre-booked and were glad we did. On the form it asked about dietary requirements so I filled it in. I received a phone call a few days before asking if I could eat meat. I said, “I most definitely can,” which I think went down well on this occasion. I always say, if I didn’t eat meat on top of the rest of my dietary requirements, things would be pretty tough indeed.

I chatted to Jo, one of the owners, and she told me that there are four of them in total and they can cater for most dietary requirements with a bit of warning. From doing a bit of reading, Jo and her husband, Stuart, set up the restaurant in 2018. Previously, they ran a successful cafe called The Greedy Pig.

They are an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans as they do a vegetarian menu for the first week of every month and can adapt most things to vegan.

So, let me tell you about my experience…

The venue is really chilled out, not pretentious at all and it has a really nice atmosphere.

There are even pigs (AKA swines) looking down at you which is nice and fitting…

When we arrived, Jo chatted with the chef. They then highlighted on the menu which dishes I could have. Jo made me feel totally at ease which was lovely, as so often you feel like a pain in the butt when you are difficult to cater for.

There was a whopping eight choices possible for me and if I wasn’t coeliac and could tolerate foods being cooked in the same fryer, there would have been an additional two. Woo hoo!

They recommend three to four dishes each. We had two each and then shared another two. It was a taste sensation. So, sooooo good. I savoured every mouthful. The presentation was beautiful with every dish – so many colours.

After perusing the menu for a little while, I chose the following…

This was so tasty. The duck goes so nicely with the fig and I have never tried duck prepared in that way. They dropped the buttermilk from this for me so that it was dairy free.

Cooked cucumber! Who knew?! It was delicious. And I have no idea what they did to the mussels – they tasted a little chargrilled. Whatever it was, they were out of this world.

And probably most surprising for me were the potatoes, tomato, coriander and peas – Jo described them as their take on Bombay potatoes. Again, they were absolutely delicious. We had these with the pork belly, turmeric, cabbage and poppy seed. It was the best pork belly I have ever had – crackling on the top and really tender meat.

It’s very unusual for me to find a dessert anywhere, but they did offer me the apple cake. I was never one to order desserts really pre-diagnosis though and was perfectly happy with our savoury feast.

Another amazing thing (can you tell I really like this place?) was that you can take your own booze and pay for corkage. This keeps the cost down dramatically if you like a tipple or two like us. You can probably tell from the next photo…

And talk about a fair price – I paid £59 for both of us in total. I would say that is amazing, wouldn’t you? I would highly recommend this place to anyone that likes tasting menus.

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 pizza though, is that it is a great social food and you can eat it with your hands – saves on plates, cutlery and washing up. Perfect.

So, whilst on my weekly shop down the free-from aisle at Morrisons, my eyes spotted this packet of gluten-free pizza dough mix… and my mind went into instant overdrive thinking of how I could use it best.

As always, I couldn’t decide on one choice, so I made two:

PINK PIZZA

Using 1/2 the mix, I (slowly) added 50ml of beetroot juice (you can just soak some beetroot in water until pink for this), added 1/2 tsp of veg oil and followed the packet instructions.

I cooked some frozen peas with a pinch of bicarb and a dash of vinegar, then mashed it together. I then topped the pizza with the mixture and added some fried yellow peppers and slices of black olives.

YELLOW PIZZA

Using 1/2 the mix, I (slowly) added 50ml of water with 1/2 tsp of turmeric and a pinch of curry powder, I then added 1/2 tsp of veg oil and followed the packet instructions.

I then cooked some beetroot until soft and mashed it with a pinch of salt, pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar. And finally topped the pizza with green pea shoots and slices of red chilli.

Can’t decide which one to eat? My advice is to have both! Why deprive yourself?

Pizza is know to solve everything, and when it’s GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, VEGAN, PLANT POWERED and RAINBOW-TASTIC, no-one is excluded from its magical powers.

Freedom Mallows is an entertaining brand that will definitely go down well with the kids, in large part thanks to the very cuddly mascot plastered all over its packaging. I was first introduced to them at this year’s Allergy and Free From Show in London. I have to confess to not being the greatest of marshmallow fans, but even I thought they were delicious.

These sweet, naturally flavoured marshmallows are also free from gluten, dairy, fat and soya. Freedom Confectionary was also the second company to produce gelatin-free marshmallows commercially worldwide, which means they are fine for vegans and vegetarians to munch down on too. This company is really flying the flag for healthy snacking and does not add any additives whatsoever. Another plus for kids and parents. 

There seems to be considerable cialis sale usa relationship between various gum disease and ED. Kamagra viagra cost in india Fizz tablets dissolve quickly in the blood vessel which leads to improved blood flow to the penis. It is super cheap cialis unica-web.com one of the best herbs for erectile dysfunction but you need to take the herbs that help in driving the male sexual hormones. Some unica-web.com purchase generic viagra women have extreme ache during the ovulation process when the ovaries float close to the fallopian tube entrance.

We spoke with the team about the great lengths they go to to ensure each product is carefully prepared for the free-from market with no risk of cross-contamination. And unlike so many free-from snacks for kids, they had that fun packaging, so children don’t feel different or like they’re being short changed.

Unfortunately, I do have one rather major bone to pick with the staff member at the stand. He enquired as to what my allergies were and I listed the seven of the fourteen top allergens I have. He bounced off excitedly and came back and offered me a taster of one of their new chocolate bites. This was a taste sensation and I quickly offered him all the money in my wallet. 

However, that’s where things took a sour turn… I got that all too familiar tingle at the back of my throat telling me I’d just eaten something I should not have done. So I later checked the ingredients only to find they contained soya lecithin. Now, whenever I have a reaction, I don’t go kicking off, rather make my polite goodbyes and leave for the nearest toilet. I appreciate that mistakes can be easily made, and I should have checked the packet myself first, regardless. But we were at a free-from show and I thought the gentleman in question had listened and understood my allergies. A lesson learned – make sure you read the label before you stuff your face. You can never be too careful.

Every now and again, you discover something that changes your life.

Yes, that’s how much of a big deal I’m about to make about this product.

In fact, don’t even spend time reading this blog post… just go and buy it and experience NOMO for yourself. I especially recommend the fruit & crunch choco bar.

Some people may wonder why I’m going so nuts, and as I’ve not blogged for a while, I probably need to remind you all that I have seven of the top fourteen allergies. Seven. And these allergies include milk, egg, nuts and soya. Chocolate has therefore always been a no for me, unless you count some brands of dark chocolate. I don’t! Let’s face it – nobody really does. Even the variety of free-from chocolate usually seem to contain soya, or some form of lecithin and it leaves me shaking my fist.

So, imagine my surprise when at thirty two years of age, I get to eat my very first chocolate bar. Just reflect on that for a second please…

Thirty two years old and NEVER eaten a bar of chocolate!

I’ve never been able to walk into a newsagent and pick up a chocolate snack, never snapped a Kit-Kat, and never stuffed a whole Mars bar in my face. I’ve even read Roald Dahl’s, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ twice… and never really understood it. I do now though which is amazing.

I was literally doing circles of the Allergy and Free From Show in London, so that I could get more free samples. Honestly, every bite was like I gained back a bit more of my childhood. I was Augustus Gloop. I promise you, if they had a river of NOMO, I would have made sure I fell in.

Anyway, enough of me going on about Nomo bars. I hear you saying, “we get it, you like it. But, tell us some stuff about it please, you’re an allergy blogger for God’s sake”.

Here you are then… NOMO is a brand of chocolate bars made by Kinnerton and gets its name from its tagline “No Missing Out”. And they really do seem to care as lots of people no longer need to miss out. It is a vegan and free from product that contains no, dairy, gluten, egg or nuts. And they actually promote that the bars are safe for allergy suffering which is so refreshing given the crazy amount of ‘may contain’ labels we see these days. Nomo bars come in four flavours. They all taste amazing, but I will rank them in order of my favourites…

The other two are Tadalafil and discount cialis prescriptions vardenifil. In accordance to Danish researcher’s survey more than 5,500 adult men and women found having unhealthy habits and increased the chance of not having sex by up to 78 % in men and 91 % in women. cialis generico 5mg Its ingredients get quickly absorbed in the body and start sample viagra for free supply blood into that main region. It provokes problems in relationships, as the partners are deprived of sexual intercourse. levitra buy generic

Total honesty here, I’ve not actually tried the dark chocolate yet, because… well… what’s the point when all I’ve really been able to have before now is dark chocolate. Karen also spotted that this bar does contain soy lecithin (sunflower lecithin is used in the other bars) so it would be a no-go for me anyway. Considering how good the other bars are though, if you’re a dark chocolate fan (and you can tolerate soya), I imagine it’s superb.

I can’t recommend these products highly enough – 10/10 guys, well done.

Also, if you want even more excitement for the kids, the Assistant Brand Manager, Jacqueline, revealed to Laura Hunter (@myallergyboy) that a form of Smarties may be on their way soon too… ohh NOMO, please just take my money now.

Now, I’ll leave you to try all the bars yourselves and discover which is your favourite. I’m excited for you.
