Lord Nelson, The Rocks
On Friday night I went to the Lord Nelson in The Rocks for a birthday dinner. I had already looked at the menu online prior to going and decided I would probably have the salad of baby beets, roast pumpkin, chickpeas, marinated fetta and mixed leaves with chicken (confirming it was gluten free first of course).
I was happy to find that the salad was in fact gluten free and I decided to order it. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I find these kind of salads can often be a little bland.
Baby beets salad with chicken
I have to say I was very impressed with the salad, it was very tasty and satisfying.
I had also been eying off the mixed berry crème brulee on the menu and decided that I definitely had to try it (once again confirming first it was gluten free). Much to my delight it was gluten free.
Yum!
My friend had also ordered a crème brulee and when they came out the waiter insisted that I had to have a specific one, the one without the biscuit. I knew that I was in great hands when this happened!
The crème brulee was beautiful and crispy on the top and creamy in the inside and the berries on the bottom gave it a great flavour.
I would definitely recommend a meal at the Lord Nelson, everyone loved their meals and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free items.
The Lord Nelson is at 19 Kent St, The Rocks.

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
Parmesan Crusted Chicken

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

One of my favourite pubs in Sydney!

It was definitely a winner! And very reasonably priced compared to a lot of places in Sydney!

That’s a great standby place to go to I agree!
