Gluten free fruit mince tarts
As Christmas gets closer I have been thinking about what foods I want to bake for the holiday season. One Christmas food that I enjoy but haven’t had since being diagnosed with coeliac disease is fruit mince tarts. I have been meaning to make some, however I noticed a pack of gluten free fruit mince bites at the supermarket the other day and therefore decided to try them out. The company, Jon Jon Bakeries have a number of products some of which are gluten free including lemon, chocolate berry filled, afghan and double chocolate chip biscuits and spiced apple & sultana, apricot, berry and the Christmas fruit mince bites.
The fruit mince bites are delicious and a good size and I will certainly be stocking up on these.

I purchased the bites from Coles however I think that they also stock through Woolworths. Being a NZ based company I am not sure how wide their distribution is in Australia so let me know if you see any of their products around!
I will also keep a look out for Jon Jon Bakeries’ other gluten free products, especially their afghans, a popular biscuit in New Zealand which I grew up eating!
Do you have fruit mince tarts at Christmas time?

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

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

I never tried to Bakers Delight ones however I believe that these are as good as any fruit mince tarts that I have eaten. If you try them let me know how you think they compare!

Love fruit mince tarts, but the filling is too rich for my tummy!

I thought I would never be able to eat Christmas mince tarts again after being diagnosed as a Coeliac but I found these same tarts and they are as good as any I’ve had.

Found these in Coles during the silly season. Was so excited to find a new GF product but a little apprehensive that it wasn’t going to deliver in the taste department (as many GF products are a let down..) and surprise surprise the people at Jon-Jons had kicked a goal. YAY! Happer camper.

Yay! Love it when that happens
