Amazing gluten free bread… it does exist!
All those that have to follow a gluten free diet (and probably most of their family and friends) know that finding a good gluten free bread is pretty much impossible. I was under this impression until yesterday at lunch, when I decided to make a sandwich using the Chia Seed loaf Lifestyle Bakery sent me.
As I always do (with gluten free bread) I went to toast the bread for my sandwich. I find this makes gluten free bread bearable to eat. However, just as I was about to do so, I thought I might just try a bit of the bread without toasting it first. I did this because the bread felt nice and soft unlike most gluten free breads. To my amazement, the bread tasted amazing! It is fluffy, soft, tasty…it actually tastes like bread!

I proceeded to eat a slice of the bread just with butter and couldn’t get enough of it. I also made my usual sandwich with the bread (cottage cheese, avocado, tomato and ham). I usually have a small garden salad with my sandwich and eat this after the sandwich because I prefer it, however yesterday I saved the sandwich until last (have you got the picture of how great this bread is yet?!).
I can’t wait to try their Chia Seed & Raisin Loaf and Fruit Loaf and really hope that Coles starts stocking their loaves soon!
Had you given up on gluten free bread?

Gluten free banoffee pie

I’m back… and I am going to start making up for my absense with this amazing recipe for gluten free banoffee pie. Since moving to London I haven’t done much baking except when I went through a phase of making gluten free banana bread (recipe to come). However more recently I moved house and my
Wagamama

I used to eat at Wagamama all the time and loved it. But after being diagnosed with coeliac disease I visited Wagamama in Sydney and found out that I could only eat one item on the menu and it was far from the best dish I had had there. So I didn’t go back for
Nourish, Banff

Just when you thought there could not be anymore restaurants in Banff with gluten free options. I have one more for now… and it’s a good one. It took me 10 months of living in Banff and finally in my last month of living there I got around to visiting Nourish. I had been told
Baja Cantina, Glebe – gluten free friendly
about 6 months ago - No comments
I absolutely love Mexican food. The great thing about Mexican is that they often use corn tortilla’s and if not they usually at least have them as an option. So it is not surprising that after the first visit to Baja Cantina in Glebe, where they give you the option of corn or flour tortilla’s,
The Elk & Oarsman, Banff

As I have mentioned before there are a number of places with gluten free options in Banff, and The Elk and Oarsman Pub & Grill is no exception to this. I was very excited to find that The Elk & Oarsman actually have a separate two page (!!) gluten free menu. I usually go to the

There is a really awesome website in Canada, Well.ca, which has a great selection of gluten free foods and delivery is free! Whilst there is a pretty good selection of gluten free foods available at the two supermarkets in Banff there are some things I just cannot get my hands on. For these products I

I saw an advertisement on TV for Hellmann’s Mayonnaise with this recipe. Whilst it sounded, let’s say interesting, I was intrigued and had to try it. The first time I tried this recipe I bought some gluten free rice crumbs but I found them too crunchy with an almost sand type texture. The next time
Fish & vegetable coconut curry

One night I had planned to make the chickpea curry I saw on Scandi Foodie’s blog however I left the recipe at work (and I didn’t have internet at home at the time) so I had to put my thinking cap on to try and remember the ingredients for this recipe. Then I realised that
Sugar Lounge, Manly Beach

This was another daily deal site purchase – a voucher for a meal at Sugar Lounge at Manly Beach. A couple of friends and I headed down one sunny Sydney day to indulge in some fancy food and drink (well fancier than most of my dining out choices). First things first – cocktails! I went for
Win a bag of Matcha tea from Zen Green Tea

I have to say I go through my stages with green tea. There are times when I drink it quite often and then I usually go off it again. One of the things that puts me off is that if you don’t brew it for the exact right amount of time it can taste really

Their Chia/Raisin Loaf is also fabulous!!
All the Lifestyle Bakery products are the best, in my opinion.. and even though I purchase direct after previously having a GF Webstore, I have been begging Coles to stock their products too!! Not meaning to knock the other brand/s stocked by them, but I often write a new product interest form to my local store saying they’re the best. Have fun with all the delicious things you can make with LB’s breads 
The Pizza bases are my fav & when I’m out of stock the Chia Rolls cut as pizza bases are YUM!! Oooo might ask them to make Chia Bases!! 
(Lifestyle Bakery, if you’re reading this.. a little Amaranth or Quinoa mixed in might be nice, too?)

Hi Ang! Thanks for those kind words.
Thanks for requesting our products at Coles. I hope they listen. Customer feedback to stores does make a lot of difference, especially to small stores so we are always thankful to those that request products in their local outlets.
We are working on some new products for next year so stay tuned to the website and the facebook page.
Thanks Petra for the review.

That’s a shame. I see they sell their products in Singapore but not New Zealand. Oh well,I guess I will have to continue to toast my heavy, gluten free bread.

I adore this bread and easily favour it over ALL other GF breads (and ordinary bread aswell, I’m not intolerant, just prefer to limit my intake). It is simply a divine bread!
