LEDA Bakery
Feb 17th
I didn’t really eat biscuits/cookies that often before going gluten free so I don’t often look for gluten free versions. However at work one day we had an all day conference and my manager was nice enough to buy some LEDA Choc Chip & Golden Crunch Cookies.
These cookies were absolutely delicious – so much so that it wasn’t just me (the glutard) going back for more. I couldn’t even decide which flavour I liked better! They were almost too good as by the end of the day all of us felt rather ill.
The cookies are available in Coles in the More >
Gluten free gourmet chocolates
Feb 4th
I was recently asked what gourmet chocolates (that you can buy in the supermarket) are gluten free and I have to say I didn’t really know. Which got me thinking, there are probably a lot of people out there who want to know the same thing, especially when wanting to give their gluten free friends a little prezzie.
After standing in the chocolates isle of Coles and reading the back of every box of chocolates (aren’t I nice doing this for you ) I have put together a list of the safe (aka gluten free) options:
- Lindt Lindor white

You know when you hear about an idea and you wish you had thought of it… well that’s exactly what I thought when I heard about Allergy Riders.
Allergy Riders is a fun and simple food labelling systems for those with dairy, gluten, egg and nut allergies as well as those who choose to eat vegan. The range consists of cupcake baking cups and food flags.

Personally, I get nervous when going to a function that they will place my ‘special’ food near everyone else’s ‘normal’ food and therefore it will get accidentally eaten before I can More >
Coco Chocolate – gluten free
Jan 28th
The first time I walked into Coco Chocolate in Kirribilli it was in the middle of summer and therefore it was some ridiculously high temperature outside. As I walked into the air conditioned Coco Chocolate store I gave a sigh of relief to which the friendly staff member noted that they always keep their shop at an optimum temperature for the chocolate.
After cooling down a little my first question, as it always seems to be these days, was whether their chocolate is gluten free. As I took in all the colour and smell I was relieved to hear the answer More >
Basco Apricot & Apple Cereal
Jan 24th
Last year I was lucky enough to be sent to the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove in Queensland for a work conference. When registering for the conference I specified my requirement for gluten free options and left it at that. Well let’s just say that over the three day conference I was more than impressed.
At all meals the staff were very knowledgeable and let me know which were the gluten free options or provided me with a special meal. I have to say though, of all meals, I was highly impressed at breakfast time. They had a buffet which included yoghurts, cereals, More >
LARABAR
Sep 15th
One of the first things I went looking for when traveling around the US was a bar that I could have in my handbag for when I needed a snack. I was excited to find the LARABAR range in Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s (more on these in another post!).
The LARABAR range are a blend of unsweetened fruits, nuts and spices containing 100% whole food and no more than 2 to 9 ingredients. This means that they are all gluten free!
After trying my first LARABAR (Cherry Pie flavour) I was hooked and since then I have been attempting to try all More >
