Ancient grain & seeds Burgen bread – gluten free
I have always been told by those in New Zealand that are coeliac and gluten intolerant that they cannot get any good gluten free breads – not having brands such as Country Life. However when back in NZ I noticed that Burgen now have a range of gluten free breads (white, ground linseed, spicy fruit, corn and poppysed and ancient grain & seeds) so I decided to try the ancient grain & seeds loaf. Before buying gluten free bread I always make sure it doesn’t feel solid as a rock and the Burgen loaf passed the test.

First off I tried the bread toasted with butter (I also tried it with honey and marmalade). The bread was tasty and I really enjoyed the plentiful amount of seeds.

The real test though was making a sandwich with it a couple of days later (after storing it in the fridge). I am happy to say the bread still tasted great – I was very impressed.

From what I can see the gluten free Burgen bread is only available in New Zealand.
Do you have a test you perform on foods before you buy them?

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

It’s interesting to see what is available in other countries.
I noticed that there are a lot of very popular Betty Crocker gluten free cake and pancake mixes in America. Hopefully they will make their way here eventually!

Definitely – there were plenty of products I came across in NZ that we don’t get in Australia. It would be great to see gluten free products available everywhere to give us more choice!
