We've got the winners of the FreeFrom Food Awards Ireland for you!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
On Thursday 11th May 2017 there was a gorgeous free from gala dinner in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Northwood. Unfortunately, we couldn't attend this year and I'm not going to skimp on this - I was gutted! Last year we had a great night and it's so much fun to watch the awards being given out, but, alas, it wasn't meant to be for us this year. I still got to be part of the amazing judging panel and it is always a privilege to take part. </div>

Press Release</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winners Announced at Gala Presentation, Thursday 11th May</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The winners of the only awards dedicated to freefrom products in Ireland are being announced at a Gala Presentation ceremony in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Northwood, on Thursday 11th May. This year sees the Awards expand to 44 categories, with 101 brands and a total of 583 products judged over 14 days. This demonstrates the continued growth of the freefrom sector, with manufacturers responding to demand, be it gluten free, dairy free, wheat free or any of the 14 allergens which limit consumer’s diets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether food be medicine or lifestyle choice, the growth is driving the freefrom industry, and figures suggest that freefrom is not a fad, but here to stay. Bord Bia cite that the Irish gluten free market is worth €66 million, a 36% increase on last year. This is an extremely positive outcome for consumers who are coeliac or who have a diagnosed intolerance or allergy, needing certain foods to be available to them. The FreeFrom Food Awards looks for excellence and innovation in this industry, so that the bar is constantly raised in terms of quality, availability and affordability in freefrom foods.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FreeFrom Food Awards took place in Ireland in 2016 for the first time and were hugely successful, with many brands benefiting from the opportunity to herald their products as award winning. Product of the Year winner, Rule of Crumb were listed in over 450 Sainsbury’s stores with their Gluten Free Profiterole.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having originated in the UK, the Irish awards were founded by coeliac businessman, John Burke. “We are amazed at the excellence of the products that have come this year. The Awards were established to promote quality, to seek out diversity, to encourage manufacturers to bring new products to the market place. The freefrom market is advancing and we’re keen to see this continuing in the future,” says Burke. “As a coeliac of 44 years, I am thrilled to witness these changes – we’ve come a long way since unpalatable bread and plain dinners – it’s very satisfying to see the market evolve and to acknowledge those contributing to it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gold, Silver and Bronze are granted, along with a Merit badge for products still considered high quality by the judges. Winners may display the relevant badge on their packaging, which helps consumers wading through the extensive freefrom sections of stores to discern which products are best. Categories are diverse from pasta to ready meals, cakes to crisps and bread products to breakfast cereals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘It was a great boost that our gluten-free profiteroles won the product of the year award in 2016. Since winning the awards we have received great interest from consumers and buyers. Having a winning product really helps to break into these areas,” says Colum McLornan, Director, Rule of Crumb.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winners are announced during a 5 course gluten-free meal at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Also presented are the coveted Product of the Year, Range of the Year, Innovation, and the special Services to the Industry Award, sponsored by Juvela, which recognises contribution by individuals to the arena. Freefrom Food Awards Ireland has been established independently by John Burke, founder of GFLife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FreeFrom Food Awards, were started in the UK in 2007, being the only industry awards for FreeFrom foods, by FoodsMatter and FreeFrom Foods Matter. Having been a judge at the UK FreeFrom Awards for over 7 years, John adapted the awards format for an Irish setting.</div>

Calling all manufacturers or suppliers of food or drink that is ‘freefrom’ – the 2017 FreeFrom Food Awards are open for entry.</h4>
The FreeFrom Food Awards took place in Ireland in 2016 for the first time. With over 91 brands and more than 390 entries into the 40 category event, the inaugural Awards were hugely successful, with many brands benefiting from the opportunity to herald their products as award winning. Having originated in the UK, the Irish awards were founded by coeliac businessman, John Burke. The process from call to entry, to judging, to the official awards ceremony in May, is in full swing with over 40 brands already signed up.<br /><br />Gold, Silver and Bronze are granted, along with a Merit badge for products still considered high quality by the judges. Winners may display the relevant badge on their packaging, which helps consumers wading through the extensive freefrom sections of their stores to discern which products are best.<br /><br />Categories are diverse from pasta to ready meals, cakes to crisps and bread products to breakfast cereals. The range of freefrom foods has grown exceptionally as more people are either diagnosed with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or lactose intolerance or allergies to one of the 14 allergens recognised by EU law. Also helping to increase the market is the emergence of lifestyle freefromers – people who shop in the freefrom section because of the perceived health benefit from consuming these products. The gluten-free category alone is valued at €29 million, with sales of €40 million projected by 2020, according to Bord Bia. Manufacturers and retailers are keenly aware of such projections with new product offerings often developed with freefrom-ness in mind.<br /><br />‘It was a great boost that our gluten-free profiteroles won the product of the year award in 2016. Since winning the awards we have received great interest from consumers and buyers. The profiteroles launched in 450 Sainsbury’s in January and will launch in 150 SuperValu stores in March. Having a winning product really helps to break into these areas,” says Colum McLornan, Director, Rule of Crumb.<br /><br />“I love the FreeFrom arena as a coeliac of over 40 years,” says FreeFrom Food Awards Ireland Founder, John Burke. “I am passionate and excited to see new and familiar brands constantly innovating where previously there weren’t alternatives for someone like me. It can be an emotional milestone to try a food you’ve never had, that others take for granted. The importance of the Awards is that we embrace and encourage food producers for continuing to develop everyday foods that by their nature, just shouldn’t be FreeFrom, yet are not only suitable dietary substitutes, but taste excellent!”<br /><br />The FreeFrom Food Awards is delighted to have many stalwart freefrom brands involved in the awards, with long-term producer, Juvela sponsoring our Special Services to the Industry Award.<br /><br />The FreeFrom Food sector represents one of the fastest growing in niche foods (Bord Bia industry research, 2011) and with an increasing number of consumers choosing foods that are free from allergens, the range of foods has grown significantly and the FreeFrom Food Awards strives to recognise the efforts made by artisans, manufacturers and retailers to meet this growing need in Ireland.<br /><br />Freefrom Food Awards Ireland has been established independently by John Burke, founder of GFLife. The FreeFrom Food Awards, were started in the UK in 2007, being the only industry awards for FreeFrom foods, by FoodsMatter and FreeFrom Foods Matter. Having been a judge at the UK FreeFrom Awards for over 6 years, John has adapted the awards format for an Irish setting.<br /><br />Manufacturers of FreeFrom Foods are invited to enter online at www.fffa.ie or email info@fffa.ie. The entry process is simple and there are over 40 categories, in which products can be entered. The large number of categories ensures that the diversity of foods are judged aptly.<br /><br />The Freefrom Food Awards also works to counter preconceptions of FreeFrom food being unpalatable. With such innovation and excellence as has developed over recent years, the Awards recognises the distance the market has come since gluten-free bread came in tins.<br /><br />To find out more about the FreeFrom Food Awards, please contact emma@expresspr.ie, or John Burke, FreeFrom Food Awards, johnb@fffa.ie.<div>

Participants can look forward to sampling of gluten-free products, advice from The Coeliac Society, tips on understanding food labels plus an opportunity to speak with a dietician. <br /><br /><br />Coeliac disease is estimated to affect 46,000 people in Ireland. It is an auto-immune disease, which prevents those affected from digesting gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. The disease can manifest itself at any stage in a person’s lifetime, with symptoms including abdominal pain, recurring mouth-ulcers, weight-loss, vomiting and diarrhoea. The health implications of undiagnosed coeliac disease are far reaching can include; fertility issues, osteoporosis and anaemia. The only treatment is a gluten-free diet.<br /><br /><br />Commenting in advance of the in-store events, Communications Manager of the Coeliac Society of Ireland, Sonya Sheils said “We are delighted to partner with SuperValu on this series of events. One in 100 people in Ireland has coeliac disease and it can be challenging for them to figure out what they can eat, as gluten is a common ingredient in food. I would encourage anyone who wants to find out more about coeliac disease and gluten-free living to attend an event in their local SuperValu store. Our staff will be on hand to help.”<br /><br />She added: “The Coeliac Society of Ireland provides up-to-date support and information for those suffering from coeliac disease, as well as for their families. This includes an invaluable Food List, which references all of the gluten-free products available on the Irish market. Members receive monthly updates on new products. The Food List also makes it easier for sufferers to choose wisely when eating out.”<br /><br /><br />John McMahon, Manager of Twomey's SuperValu, Deansgrange, said: “We are delighted to host this event in our store. SuperValu has invested heavily in developing a range of gluten free products that offer good value and great taste. Our Food Academy programme has also produced a large number of innovative products demonstrating the potential for small producers to develop some nice niche products. The in-store event is a great opportunity to showcase the range of gluten-free produce available and for us to engage with our shoppers to get their views.” <br /><br /><br />These free in-store events are open to the general public, including those who are simply interested in maintaining a gluten-free diet. No pre-booking required. <br /><br /><br /><b>Events will take place in the following locations:</b><br /><br />Newcastlewest SuperValu In-store Event<br />Monday, October 3, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm<br />Dooley's SuperValu - Bishop St, Newcastlewest , Co.

We got married on the 26th March 2016.. This blog post has been over a year in the making!<br>
<br>
<a name="more"></a><br>
I wrote some time ago about our little plan to get married and, well, we've done it.. and we had a gluten free wedding with a lot of help from some people in particular!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First thing first, the venue. We toyed with the idea of renting just a venue and getting caterers in and organising everything ourselves in the beginning. We thought it would be more cost effective and also give us more control over the food. It turns out, that's not actually true. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxRQGEevFMBdTdBioV10rHmFwHQ0pQpXDTaFoIee9YsVLp0N9nKSBMciCtXuMz_Mxkrs_e0lzCmaPU8MtX3JyJpt-CGtr93vhU9khrtjzFcipYnXvn7W2dkR26hLX0lcv89aKIViTx-DT/s1600/108214_76_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxRQGEevFMBdTdBioV10rHmFwHQ0pQpXDTaFoIee9YsVLp0N9nKSBMciCtXuMz_Mxkrs_e0lzCmaPU8MtX3JyJpt-CGtr93vhU9khrtjzFcipYnXvn7W2dkR26hLX0lcv89aKIViTx-DT/s320/108214_76_z.jpg" width="320"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We stumbled across our venue when we were searching for vendors. We were in-between two viewings, did a quick google for wedding fairs, and ended up in Clontarf Castle, where the Sales Manager gave us the grand tour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We were quite straight with her about what we wanted and we were thrilled to hear that they could do gluten free everything. So we started to plan the rest. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We started exploring cake options... There are lots and lots of cake options. We didn't want a traditional cake. We wanted cupcakes, but not just any cupcakes... super hero themed cupcakes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We had discovered a Super Mario themed cake and cupcakes by The Cupcake Bloke on Facebook and thought, this is the guy to realise our vision. My other half loves all things geeky, particularly Batman, and I'm quite partial myself, so we explained this to Graham (The Cupcake Bloke) when we met him for a coffee and he ran with our theme and came up with the above as samples. They were delicious by the way! They looked amazing. We were sold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We discussed the finer details with Graham. Our cupcakes would be four different flavours with a top cake, two tier for structure in lemon curd. </div>

The end result was amazing. Truly stunning. Utterly delicious. Not one fault was uttered by a guest on the day. Visually we were absolutely delighted and taste-wise, let's just say there were no cupcakes left for us the next day!</div>

Let's move on to the food for the day! We had a tasting in January and got to meet our chef, who seemed super enthusiastic with ideas, particularly with gluten free desserts. We were quite comforted by this. Amanda, our wedding co-ordinator, was great with everything. Every question we had she answered with precision (we would have been lost without her on the day, she was awesome by the way). </div>

We had canapés at our prosecco reception after our ceremony. I did steal the photos from our wedding guest (one in particular because she loves taking food photos as much as I do!). We had three canapés, as pictured above, all gluten free and one veggie option in there. I'm told they were awesome.. I was slightly preoccupied at the time.. (Photos, prosecco, guests etc.)</div>

We had a 5 course dinner included on our day, starting with a gorgeous garlic and parsnip soup and followed by an asian chicken salad. We had so many compliments about both. I was super chuffed with our choices. For mains there was a choice of chicken or beef (freaking loved the gravy) and a trio of desserts, consisting of a meringue with strawberry and cream, lemongrass cheesecake topping and a rhubarb compot. All presented beautifully. </div>

We served gluten free bread and rolls with everything. One table asked for a second basket because they gobbled it too quickly. Actually, one asked if the bread that good was actually gluten free because he didn't think it possible. Score for the coeliacs!!!</div>

I was quite excited about this opportunity as, quite frankly, it's a gluten free cookbook written by a coeliac! There are lots of cookbooks out there but few that we could be described as "the-go-to" cookbook. This could very well make the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tagline is "Meals you missed made easy." I've tried a few and, they actually are both easy and meals I've missed! We all reach that point where we need to experiment and this cookbook is actually quite a useful tool to get cooking properly again. Nothing takes overly long to cook so you're not stuck in the kitchen for half the day slaving either (although I do enjoy a good experiment it has to be said!).</div>

Whenever I get a new cookbook I generally scan through to see if there are any yummy looking pictures. After all, why would I want to cook something when I don't have a clue what it should look like. However, I stopped dead at the Table of Contents. Look at it! It's huge!! This got me very interested because there are over 200 pages of recipes. Two HUNDRED pages. It was hard, but I selected two dishes to test out. </div>

The first was the hash browns. I've been looking for a good hash brown recipe for a while because, well, I can never quite get them to stick together. Because it was the end of the week, I didn't really have all the ingredients so I may have improvised just a little bit on this, but the basic ingredients were present don't worry!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, as you can see, you need potato, bacon, butter, salt, pepper, red pepper, a shallot, and eggs if you were so inclined. I substituted the streaky bacon with back rashers, simply because I had them and added a chilli.</div>

It's a relatively simple recipe, grill the bacon (chop up roughly when done), preheat the oven, grate the potato.. I actually got one of these bad boys last year which came in super handy. I didn't realise how wet potatoes are when they're grated and the useful tip on wringing them out helped. Fry the shallot and pepper in a little butter and mix it all together. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">This is where it got a little tricky on me. This looks beautiful, right? Well I popped it all in the large frying pan, spread it out and patted it down as per the instruction and it came time to flip it over. I tried a few times to get it over in one piece, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. It did indeed break. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I got it over in the end and fried off the other side as instructed but transferring it to the baking tray was a little too much for it. It's not my most beautiful experiment but I bunged it in the oven to finish the cooking process anyway and got on with me fried eggs when the time neared!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">The recipe had said that it should be cut in wedges, but I failed at making it one piece so this was the best I could do! It was actually pretty tasty so I'm putting this one in the win column. </span></div>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the second recipe I chose was from the kids favourite section. You heard me, there's no judgement here! We were just in the mood for something nom, well I was, I may have just decided and started to make them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do have a small note to make here.. There was no picture on this one and, well, we all know chicken wings should look a certain way. I'd never actually made them from scratch before so when I bought them they had to be prepped. There was no prep note for them here so it took a minute of googling before I (my other half, I actually couldn't handle it) got the technique down. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sauce was pretty easy actually. It was garlic, Tamari (gluten free soy sauce), brown sugar, homemade tomato sauce, and tabasco if you are so inclined. I really should have remembered that this came from the kids section, we could have done with a lot more spice, but the sauce ended up being super tasty. We actually devoured them once cooked. I made too much so we could freeze, but they ended up in my lunch box. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">He notes to serve the wings with coleslaw and salad. I had made sweet potato fries to go with and they were just as yum. I'm telling you if you served these at a party, no one would be the wiser. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After playing around with a few recipes in this book, I've come to a thought. There are three types of people that would like to have it in their kitchen: newly diagnosed coeliacs searching for food, people looking to be more versatile in their cooking for coeliacs, and people who are bored with cooking the same things. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gearoid has some interesting passages on food, there's pages of explanations about types of foods and substitutions suitable for coeliacs, cupboard and storage tips, and explanations on coeliac disease, as well as his own story. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week, for Coeliac Awareness Week, we have a book to give away so you can decide for yourself! Pop over to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DublinGlutenFree">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/dubglutenfree">Twitter</a> and let us know what recipe you most miss for your chance to get you hands on it.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We expect pictures of recipes!! Normal T&C's apply and we'll announce the winner Friday!! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had the huge honour if being invited to participate in the FreeFrom Food Awards Ireland this year and it was super exciting!</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
As it's Coeliac Awareness week I thought a quick note on the FreeFrom Food Awards Ireland was in order!<br />
<br />
I can't divulge the winners so let's not go down that route but I do have a note or two about the awards themselves. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2008 the Freefrom Food Awards UK were launched as an independent awards in the UK by FoodsMatter and FreeFrom Foods Matter. It's had a huge impact on the free from industry by encouraging brands to step up their game and produce something, to put it really simply, edible, palatable, and down right tasty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It pushed the industry to be better. To create food that people want. Food that people with allergies and intolerances have been dreaming of. It sounds very like I'm looking at things through rose tinted glasses. The free from industry is still not perfect, but it's come so far in recent years. I'm so glad I missed the tinned gluten free bread days, but when I was diagnosed it I really struggled with the quality of products. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the basics of the Awards... Companies enter their products into categories. They're charged an entrance fee and have to adhere to strict guidelines. The big part of these awards is that each product has to have be free from one of the major allergens and need to be able to prove it through tests etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The prize: The prestige of the award and a badge of honour for the winning product. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skip forward to the Freefrom Food Awards Ireland. John Burke, who was a judge in the Freefrom Food Awards UK, decided that Ireland needs these awards, which is completely true! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
John is a long-term diagnosed coeliac who has been involved in the Freefrom market for a number of years. He enlisted the help of Emma from Express PR to gather judges and start the ball rolling. The launch took place at the Allergy Expo in October 2015. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So Emma contacted myself and my other half about the judging and off we went. Judging took place from the 11th to the 22nd April 2016. We just went for one day, I wholeheartedly wished we could have gone for more but there are those pesky commitments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Meeting people with all different allergies and coming from all different aspects of the free from community. There were the professional industry people, parents of children with allergies, bloggers, and interested people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The days were organised into product categories for testing. Depending on how many entrants were in a category dictated how long it took to get through that category. It was pretty fun! Although eating different versions of the same product was difficult after number 20! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Awards have their own Presentations night in June! All the winners will be revealed then!! :)</div>

I've been spotting gluten free products from Mannings Bakery in shops recently and today I got this lovely press release introducing their gluten free products. Se here it is:</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
“Family Run Manning’s Bakery Launch Dedicated Gluten Free Bakery Range”</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dublin, Ireland: Manning’s Bakery opened their first dedicated Gluten Free Bakery in September 2015 and have been quietly working on recipe development and creating a loyal customer base since. This week the bakery is officially launching its certified Gluten Free occasion cake & treat range as well as their new luxury Gluten Free wholesale Brand, The Liberty Baker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manning’s Gluten Free bakery specialises in fresh to order, handmade and certifiably Gluten Free occasion cakes, desserts and treats and products are available for delivery throughout Dublin. Gluten free cakes are also available through their three Dublin based bakery shops (The Liberties, Blanchardstown & Tallaght). According to Brian Mc Carthy, New products & Services Development Manager and the 3rd generation of the Manning Family to work in the business, they want to bridge the gap between reliably Gluten free product and handmade, great tasting cakes: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Even though the availability of pre-packaged gluten free options is improving, the certifiable coeliac friendly choice still tends to be a functional compromise rather than a worthy alternative to what the rest of us get to share. Customers avoiding Gluten can now confidently order a lovingly crafted Manning’s Bakery Occasion cake and know it is 100%, certifiably Gluten Free, handmade & delicious”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manning’s will also be baking Gluten Free cakes and treats for wholesale & food service under The liberty Baker brand which is currently being developed. Manning’s Bakery are also aiming to be able to deliver customized & bespoke cakes direct to customers’ outside of Dublin via the liberty baker Website (under construction).</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Staff:</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dedicated Gluten Free bakery is based in Nutgrove Enterprise Park in Rathfarnham. To date, two Jobs have been created and Manning’s are hopeful that the workforce will grow as the business develops.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are indebted to our staff, and particularly our Gluten Free bakery manager. Gluten free product development takes a lot of patience and hard work and Kelly has approached the project with great enthusiasm and creativity".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manning’s Bakery was established in Dublin by Cecil Manning in the 1950’s and is now owned and run by his daughter, Irene Manning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

We had a visit to Siam Thai last week..<br />

...and I have to say we were quite impressed.<br />

It's no secret we're a fan of Thai food. It's our go-to takeaway option. We love the flavours. Recently I've been noticing some restaurants have been changing their menus and swapping the gluten free for non gluten free. For example, I ordered chicken satay skewers that were marked as gluten free on the menu of one particular Thai restaurant in the city a few weeks ago and as soon as I mentioned gluten free they said that they were fried in the same oil as other non gluten free items. I was a bit annoyed because starters were limited for gluten free, but glad they had the foresight to tell me. </div>

Anyway, last week we went to Siam Thai for a spot of dinner and I was really surprised. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went to the Dundrum branch after work on a wet and miserable Monday and were delighted to find the restaurant really busy and atmospheric. Normally we head to Douglas and Kaldi in the Dundrum Town Centre but Siam Thai is definitely on my radar now. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were tucked into a corner with a great view of the Dundrum fountains and it was a beautiful view that complimented a lovely meal. The restaurant was buzzing for a Monday with patrons. There was even a large birthday party seated on a long table. It was a really great to see a restaurant nearly full at the start of the week. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been loving the Thai soups and salads lately. Most soups come with mushrooms as standard and as I can't eat mushroom I decided on a Crispy Roast Duck Salad and my other half had Laab Gai. I have to say my duck was amazing. It was tender but crispy on the outside and just delicious. My other half liked his dish but mine was definitely the winner! The portions for a starter portion were pretty big, I would have been ok with it as my main so I actually had to stop myself from finishing it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We may have accidentally forgotten to take photos of our mains. We sort of just gobbled them up before we had a chance! My other half had the Massaman curry, which is the basic judgement dish for us in any Thai restaurant. It did not disappoint. I had the red curry, which was equally as smooth and delicious. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had to forego dessert because we ate so much in starters and mains.<br />
<br />
On another note, we got to meet one of the owners, Julie, on the night. She explained that a lot of the menu can be adapted to a gluten free diet, even if it's not marked. She advised that it simply depends on the ingredients that the kitchen has in stock on the evening, so there is definitely no harm in asking if you're in for a bite!<br />
<br />

So I haven't posted in a long while, I've been a bit busy planning a wedding, moving house, starting a new job, and my parents emigrating. I've been popping bits and pieces on Facebook and Twitter! Anyways, apologies for the delay!<br />

Today we went to The Allergy Expo and we were at the launch of the Free From Food Awards in Ireland. These awards will be a great opportunity for free from brands to get the recognition for great tastes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We'll chat more about this later, for the minute I have LOADS of pictures from The Allergy Expo. If you have the chance tomorrow definitely pop out because there are some great bargains on free from products!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's been a little bit of a theme this week with gluten free beer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The subject of today is Daura. They recently had a Estrella Damm launch party and we had a little fun at the event ourselves! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Daura is a Spanish beer and widely available in Dublin pubs and restaurants including Solas, The Stags Head, Bunsen, and Green 19 to name just a few! It is the most common gluten free beer on the market. With less than 3ppm, it's definitely worth a swig.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, I have a much better review from a memory than I could ever write. I was actually approached outside The Stags Head on a sunny afternoon last summer by a Spanish woman wondering what pub I got my Daura beer in. She was so excited to see a Spanish beer in my hand. She was very proud that it was being sold here and needed to get herself one as it was her beer of choice at home. She rushed in and came out with one gleefully showing me her bottle, and then added, "It's gluten free too, but that doesn't matter to me." I think that's one of the best comments I've heard about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is available in selected Centra, Dunnes Stores, Costcutter, Donnybrook Fair, Eurospar, Fine Wines, Londis, Mace, Molloys, O’Donovan’s, O’Brien’s, Spar, Supervalu and Tesco outlets nationwide.</div>

Below is there Press Release:</h3>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Molson Coors’ Official
Launch of World’s Best Gluten Free Beer<br /> </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Daura Damm -- Rated ‘Outstanding’
in Taste Tests</span></b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
As any coeliac
or gluten intolerant person will tell you, there’s not a huge choice in top
quality food and beverages available to them in Ireland, despite the growing
number of Irish people who claim to be sensitive or allergic to gluten. Molson
Coors, Ireland’s third largest and fastest growing brewer is set to make the
lives of gluten intolerants a lot more pleasurable with its official Irish
launch of the gluten free beer Daura Damm, from the iconic Barcelonan Estrella
brewery, famed for its Estrella Damm premium lager.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
The tasty result
of a long collaborative research process between the Estrella brewery and
Spain’s National Scientific Research Council’s gluten unit, Daura Damm became
the first beer in Spain to guarantee a gluten content below 3ppm making it
suitable for people with coeliac disease. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Ireland has one
of the world’s highest incidence of coeliac disease with an estimated one in
100 or 46,000* people suffering from the condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, it will come as welcome news that not
only is Daura Damm the No.1 selling, internationally recognised beer for coeliacs,
but it has won countless taste awards too including the Superior Taste Award at
the International Taste & Quality Institute of Brussels, a Gold Medal at
the International Beer Challenge and the World’s Best Gluten-free Lager Award
at the World Beer Awards by the Beverage Testing Institute. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
Commenting on the
great tasting Daura Damm,<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">
Robert Blythe, Marketing Director at Molson Coors, distributors for the Estrella
Damm portfolio in Ireland said, “</span>We’re so glad to be able to offer such
a quality, premium beer to those with such limited gluten free beer choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With all the flavour of its sister lager
Estrella Damm, Daura Damm sets a new benchmark of excellence in taste offerings
in the gluten free category to such a degree that we expect many beer lovers
who have absolutely no issue with gluten intolerance to adopt it as their beer
of choice.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Lidl launched their own gluten free range called "Just Free" this week!</div>

<br />
I was wondering for a good while where the gluten free bread had gone from Lidl. I shop in there every week because it's more convenient to my home and I couldn't find gluten free bread on our weekly shopping run for a number of weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It turns out Lidl were replacing the bread and introducing an entire range. Now gluten free shoppers have two options when it comes to a more wallet friendly range of gluten free products. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From my investigations (I went to a few Lidl stores to check out their shelf placement) I discovered that most have moved the entire range away from the bread section so it's not going to be where you normally found the last batch of their breads. They're altogether nearer to the baking goods and veg sections. I'm definitely good with this move, having it next to the baking area wouldn't have really worked for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
In the range they've got white and multiseed loafs, buns, queen cakes, madeira cake, chocolate orange cake, sausages, and pudding so far. They'll be adding more later in the year. Below is their press release and price list. I've only had the bread and buns so far, I'll be munching my way through the range over the next little while and I'll keep you all posted ;).<br />

Free the Gluten!Gluten is Yeast-erday’s News Thanks to Launch of Retailer’s New Gluten Free Range</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Retailer Lidl this week launched its dedicated own-brand range of gluten free products in style with a pop-up live game-show in Dublin’s CHQ. To celebrate the roll-out of the new ‘Just Free’ range, comedian and host Jack Wise urged people to ‘free the gluten’ in a bid to win hundreds of euro worth of vouchers and Just Free products. The range includes twelve great value gluten free products which are available now in Lidl’s 143 stores nationwide from as little as 99 cent.While Lidl already stocks a selection of coeliac-friendly products, this is its first dedicated own-brand range of gluten free products. With an estimated 46,000 people in Ireland living with Coeliac Disease, the range has been developed exclusively for Lidl in a bid to provide customers right across Ireland with greater access to quality gluten free options without compromising on taste or price.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From daily staples like gluten free porridge oats and bread, to healthy snacks, sweet treats and even weekend favourites like sausages and pudding, customers can expect to pay between €0.99 and €2.79 for the new range. Sourced from a selection of specialised suppliers, including local Irish suppliers like Loughnane based in Galway, a second wave of gluten free products will also be added to theJust Free range later this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jasmine O’Brien, PR Manager, Lidl Ireland, said: “We’re delighted to launch our ‘Just Free’ range of gluten free products, a welcome addition to our current offering. Ireland has one of the highest prevalences of Coeliac Disease in the world and it’s important to us that our customers in every community across Ireland have access to quality gluten free products at affordable prices. ‘Just Free’ is available in stores now and customers can look forward to seeing additional products added to the range later this year.”</div>

We recently got to sample the newest gluten free beer to the market, Brew Dog Vagabond Gluten Free Beer, last weekend, and, well it's pretty tasty! It's one of the nicest I've gotten my hands on. It's quite light, but still has that beery taste of hops going for it. I am not a beer expert, but I know what I like. This, I like. </div>

<br />
It's Coeliac Awareness Week again!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So it's that time of year all coeliac's rally together and try to raise awareness in relation to the autoimmune disease that is called "coeliac." Here's my piece on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
What is coeliac disease?</h4>
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by an intolerance to a protein called "gluten" that can be found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. This also includes items in the family, like spelt. Gluten causes damage to the villi (they actually flatten) in the lower intestine making it difficult to digest and break down the nutrients from food.<br />
<br />
In an autoimmune disorder the body mistakes good cells and substances for bad ones and produces antibodies to fight them off. Normally the immune system attacks viruses and infections. A coeliac's cells can start attacking good cells, causing them to be susceptible to the bad ones. However, if gluten is not present in the system the gut will heal itself and start acting normally.<br />
<br />
Therefore, no gluten equates to a healthier system for someone suffering from coeliac disease. Not a life style option.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
So, what's it like to be a coeliac?</h4>
I'm just going to be really frank and expose this. There are many stages, frustrations, joys, highs, lows, etc to being diagnosed as a coeliac.<br />
<br />
I had a stupidly long and drawn out process of diagnosis. I was told I had anaemia more times than I can recall. I had a lot of infections in my late teens. I had reactions to a lot of products. So many that they did not want to do allergy testing on me. At 11 years of age I was told to drink two bottles of lucozade a day for my energy levels. It was not until much later that I was confirmed. Even then, I was diagnosed as severely gluten intolerant first.<br />
<br />
There are just some of the stages of how a coeliac feels. I am going to list out a few, of the more common I've found over the last six(ish) years:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You get your really long and drawn out diagnosis and start to feel better in your body without gluten.</li>
<li>You really, really start to feel better and think, "Is this what "normal" is?!"</li>
<li>You start to feel like a normal human being again. Or in some cases, like a normal being should because you've not experienced it before.</li>
<li>You start to tell people and they ask questions about it.</li>
<li>You research everything. </li>
<li>You are an encyclopaedia on your autoimmune disease.</li>
<li>You start to feel safe eating with people again. </li>
<li>You can now explain to people you know about it. </li>
<li>Some people understand, try to understand, or question the validity of your disease. </li>
<li>You feel judged.</li>
<li>You feel embarrassed.</li>
<li>You feel like an inconvenience.</li>
<li>You eat before you go to parties with "finger food."</li>
<li>You feel jealous at parties with "finger food."</li>
<li>You delight when a bar has gluten free beer just because you don't have to drink wine/spirits/cider.</li>
<li>You see a new product and "whoop" only to discover it's seriously expensive. Maybe next payday....</li>
<li>People ask you why you're not skinny because they mistake gluten free as a low fat, low carb, low sugar diet. Er, because I eat healthily for me now, which means no gluten, but those other things are all good... mmmm... cake...</li>
<li>You find the gluten free community on blogs, on Twitter, on Facebook, on websites, on Instagram, on Zomato, on Yelp... Anywhere you can find out that everyone is feeling some spectrum of what you are. </li>
<li>You realise other people are frustrated too. </li>
<li>There's a little hope in this.</li>
<li>You learn to cope with people who judge you, you realise they don't understand because they don't understand what it's like when you're glutened. They don't understand the illness that can be both immediate and long term. Sometimes you argue with them. Sometimes you just let it go. </li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
What are the effects of Coeliac disease?</h4>
<div>
Short term adverse effects:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Diarrhoea</li>
<li>Bloating</li>
<li>Abdominal pain</li>
<li>Weight loss/gain</li>
<li>Failure to grow at expected time (in children)</li>
<li>Malnutrition</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Exposure to gluten may in the long term cause:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Osteoporosis</li>
<li>Anaemia</li>
<li>Infertility</li>
<li>Growth defects</li>
<li>Certain types of cancer</li>
<li>Lactose intolerance (in some cases)</li>
</ul>
<div>
There are a lot of resources out there for coeliacs. You just have to look. The Coeliac Society of Ireland will be running some events this week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They've got some cooking demonstrations with Chef Adrian Martin:</div>

I had some dinner in Whitefriar Grill a few weeks ago thanks to Zomato.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Overall, I was disappointed, so I'm going to keep this short(ish).<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, the food was gorgeous. The presentation was immaculate and the food was delicious. I had duck and my other half had chicken. Both were cooked to perfection. We only had mains because nothing really really tickled our fancy on the starter menu and we were limited with dessert. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My issue lies with the menu, it's a bit of a mess when it comes to allergens. They have the * marking on anything containing the 14 allergens that have to be marked on menus now. It's great that they have markings....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trouble is .... everything, yes everything, that has an allergen present is marked, but you've no idea which allergen is in each dish. We had to call our waitress back over and she had to go through the whole menu with us. By the time she finished listing everything, and telling us which dishes would be less an ingredient or two, I was exhausted. I needed her to repeat it, but it was so overwhelming I refrained. I literally picked something of the mains and ordered it. We just double made sure that when it came it had to be gluten free.<br />
<br />
Turns out it was delicious, but that's beside the point. I wasn't totally sure what came with my dish because I couldn't quite remember if there was a substitution on that dish. We had to call her back over after we ordered to ask about what came with our dishes because neither myself or my partner could recall.<br />
<br />
This is a serious pet peeve of mine. I hate when a fuss is being made over something like this. It dampened my dining experience. So much so that I'm not sure I'll be back, despite the fact that I enjoyed my food.<br />
<br />
There were no markings on the dessert menu. I recall two options, one being ice cream. We skipped it. I was really craving something sweet, but opted for a coffee instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, they are renowned for their awesome brunch, but we discovered at dinner that they don't have gluten free bread, so I wouldn't be recommending it for a gluten free brunch place at all.<br />
<br />
The food is gorgeous, when you can decipher what is suitable for you. I just found the whole experience a little difficult to navigate.<br />

<br />
We have a little news.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So myself and the other half are getting hitched. We're just in the initial stages at the minute, but we've a date in mind in 2016 so we've moved quickly into planning mode. Considering we're both planners and big into research this isn't a huge surprise!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our first task is budget. I'm still technically a student, as I'm in the last stretch of a PhD, but I'm also working night shifts to bring in some cash to the household and my other half is working so we had to sit down and realistically work out how much we could put aside each month to work out our overall, top-end maximum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our primary concern, as you've probably guessed, is the food. We are huge fans of food. We like good food and it needs to be gluten free. Our first decision was that all the food has to be gluten free. This seems like a bizarre request, but I am getting more sensitive and my other half is following suit, so the risk of cross contamination worries me on our wedding day. On the other hand, if it's done right, no one will actually miss it on the day. We've got a clever plan, we just need someone to help with the execution! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's all about impressions when you go anywhere with a view to booking a party. If you're greeted by a confused receptionist who has to pull out her book to double check or a painfully limp hand shake, it starts to put you off the place immediately. Along with these usual signs we were checking for their reaction to our "everything gluten free request." Did the person showing us round do a double check? Did they sympathise? Did they assume it meant one or two coeliacs only and not the inclusion of the whole party? Did they understand when we corrected them? All of these questions, and many more, showed the split second reaction that told us, yes this place is on our final list, or no, scratch it from the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due to this request, initially, we were thinking of getting a venue to rent for a few days for a party and get caterers in so we'd have some more control. However, when we priced this realistically the costs had the potential of completely spiralling beyond our reach quite fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alternative venues with working kitchens were a second option. A few were enthusiastic and understanding. Others were not so good with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, we happened upon a Wedding Fair in a hotel, which is something we had absolutely not considered. The sales manager showed us around (she didn't tell us she was the sales manager until the end of the tour!) and just blew us away. We know it's her job, but she was super clued in to why we wanted the whole thing to be gluten free from start to finish and she was very willing to accommodate us. Our impressions of her were so good, we asked to provisionally book a date and give a call in two weeks so we could think it over, work out our budgets, cool our heads, etc, before we put down a deposit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We originally thought this particular venue was way out of our price range, and we may still have to pull back in other areas, but when we sat down and worked out the actual figures, we were surprised at how much quality we could pack into our small budget, bringing this venue into our view.<br />
<br />
Next on our list is cake.... </div>

A few weeks back I met the lovely Jenny from Don't be such a gluten and tried some of her delicious treats.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't be such a gluten is a very interesting name for this product. It's quirky and unique. It's humorous to those in the community. It's just a fun brand name! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what do they produce? Cake. Little espresso shot shaped cakes containing all natural ingredients. They are ultra cute and now come in new packaging. Four cakes to a box and will be sold in Fallon & Byrne and selected cafés and restaurants across Dublin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are a fresh product and are baked and delivered by Jenny daily to retailers. As I said the ingredients are all natural and she experiments with different flavours to produce some amazing little treats. The experimentations change according to the available fresh ingredients. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAL8FJaeV9k9ya65Meb60BRKpokIa_Go_WSY9PkiWGq9a8Wot8Hb6W8wTJvoNrr8-PpGFx4wnK3eCtxgj8ZNjPckMKJwi0vlaYIo-X5OS5IQgoFLkURUZKQyApikCGpaD220vd_qayUrVd/s1600/2015-02-08+14.38.48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAL8FJaeV9k9ya65Meb60BRKpokIa_Go_WSY9PkiWGq9a8Wot8Hb6W8wTJvoNrr8-PpGFx4wnK3eCtxgj8ZNjPckMKJwi0vlaYIo-X5OS5IQgoFLkURUZKQyApikCGpaD220vd_qayUrVd/s1600/2015-02-08+14.38.48.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cakes themselves are quite dense and moist, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The wet ingredients pull the flavours together and, importantly, keeps the cake together. It does leave a little grease on a napkin, but that makes you feel like you're eating something naughty, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flavours really come through in these. I loved the orange and my other half loved the coffee. A good shot of espresso in the cake does the trick. The chocolate is very chocolate. Normally this isn't a huge problem for me, but I split it because I've been cutting down the sweet stuff and it was so much chocolatey goodness I couldn't handle it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot stress that these are fresh products. They need to be consumed within 3-5 days of purchase, which is just after baking because of the super baking and delivery skills of Jenny. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I refrigerated them when I got them. I picked more up. Don't forget about them though by leaving them in the back of the fridge... even in an airtight container it may not be pretty. They are made to be eaten so eat up! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

As it's Friday I was thinking of a Friday night supper and who doesn't love fish and chips? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well as a gluten free diner we normally can't just walk into a chipper and order a battered fish and chips. </div>
</div>

I liked Beshoffs on O'Connell Street, but for a long time they offer only one gluten free fish and chips option, and then I walked into Beshoffs Bros on Dame Street and was bowled over by the menu. They have a separate menu for gluten free and it's awesome! We're not restricted to just a fillet of battered fish and chips here. Oh no, that would bee too little here. There's also chicken goujons! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I loved the cod goujons and chips. They are pretty tasty. The portions are on the larger size for me so I haven't actually been able to finish all the goujons on the chips on the (several) occasions I've been in!</div>

I've obviously had to quality test the rest of the dishes. Above is the cod fillet and the chicken goujons. Both good, but my heart belongs with the cod goujons. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another heart stopper are the onion rings. That's right. They do gluten free battered onion rings. Now I haven't had an onion ring in years and years and technically onions are really my friend, but I had to have some! They're freaking delicious. The girl that was serving us said that the gluten free ones are actually nicer than the normal variety as they are, like all their gluten free foods, made freshly and are extra crispy as a result. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There has been a lot of talk over the last few months about the new allergen regulations that become effective from Saturday 13th December 2014. </div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not my normal type of post, but I had to say something on the upcoming allergen regulations. I believe they are really important and could be a huge step forward for the allergy community. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally, I am absolutely delighted that these regulations are coming in. My worst nightmare is a menu that is not marked in a restaurant. It means that I have to ask what I can have, generally the server has to go check with the kitchen, recount the information to me, and then, I have to remember what those options were because the server, more often than not, has reamed the information off at me in one breath. If I dare ask them to repeat it, it is a big deal. Overall, printed allergen information on menus is convenient for everyone involved. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
So, what does the new legislation mean?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many, many types of allergies, but the new legislation by the EU Food Information for Consumers declares that 14 of the most prevalent allergies must be highlighted on menus and packaging. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What are these 14 allergens?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li>Cereals containing gluten </li>
<li>Crustaceans </li>
<li>Eggs </li>
<li>Fish </li>
<li>Peanuts </li>
<li>Soybeans </li>
<li>Milk and lactose</li>
<li>Nuts</li>
<li>Celery </li>
<li>Mustard </li>
<li>Sesame seeds </li>
<li>Sulphur dioxide and sulphites </li>
<li>Lupin </li>
<li>Molluscs </li>
</ol>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is an allergen?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An allergen is something that causes a reaction from the body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What happens when an allergen causes a reaction?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not all allergens cause the same reactions; the reaction can be anaphylactic or autoimmune. In the case of an anaphylactic reaction the person will need an epipen or an antihistamine, depending on the level of their allergy. As for an autoimmune reaction, they can differ depending on the sufferer and have long-term side effects if the allergen is repeatedly taken. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How many people suffer from allergies in Ireland?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is not really any solid statistics. It has been reported that 3–4% of the population suffer from some type of allergy, but there are a lot of conflicting information that suggests a much higher percentage of he population. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, allergies are on the rise. This could be due to an actual increase in allergies or it could be that people are growing increasingly more aware of their own allergies and diagnosis. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What types of places have to display the allergen information?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Restaurants, takeaways, hospitals, contract caterers, hotels, B&B’s, crèches, schools, nursing homes, psychiatric institutions, food stalls, detention centres, and any business that offers meals services. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Where do these institutions have to display this?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The regulations states: "<i>Food allergen information can be communicated verbally at any time. However, the minimum requirement set out in the national measures is that written food allergen information is provided to the consumer or mass caterer. The written information must be presented in at least the English language and be easily located and accessible. It must clearly identify the allergens contained in a food or beverage in legible hand written or printed format</i>."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are different options for different businesses: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Restaurants can mark their menus or clearly mark on a chalkboard with their specials. Additionally, they can provide a separate menu or listing to customers. All information has to be accessible. It cannot be stuffed to the side in order to be compliant.</li>
<li>Crèches and schools can send written information home to parents.</li>
<li>Any business selling loose produce have to display the allergens near the products.</li>
<li>Travel, such as train, plane, or boat, have to display allergen information on all packaging. </li>
<li>All pre-packed packaging now has to have the allergen information clearly display - you'll have noticed over the last while that anything that triggers an allergy is <b>bolded</b> in the ingredients on the new packaging labels.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Let's Talk About Restaurants and Takeaways</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a category restaurants and takeaways include B&B's and hotels.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Where the information is found must be visible. Ideally, it should be on the menu, but it can be alongside the menu in a separate listing. On this the regulation states: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<i>Written food allergen information can be placed alongside each written menu item or alternatively can be provided centrally in one or a number of conspicuous locations on the premises in hard copy or electronic format</i>."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>It has to be easily located and easily understood by the customer. </b>Everything, including sauces, condiments, and drinks, have to be declared. Additionally, all those specials on the boards have to have their allergy information updated too. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before you order a takeaway the allergen information can be provided in writing. That means either online or on the menu. Honestly, I wouldn't be ordering a takeaway if I didn't know it was safe for me before I ordered it. </div>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Contamination</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cooking oil is a huge source of contamination in a kitchen. Cooking oil is considered an ingredient. There are circumstances where has to be declared. If anything containing gluten is in cooked in oil and then, say, chips are cooking in the same oil, the chips contain gluten. I have been told in restaurants that the chips are gluten free, only to find out that they are cooked in the same oil as the chips. The servers were simply under the impression that the gluten protein burns away with the heat of the oil. This is not true. These new regulations ensure that this is not a mistake a restaurant can make again with a customer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Why are restaurants saying they are not ready?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An article in the Irish Times on the 8th December 2014 (<a href="http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/restaurants-say-they-are-not-ready-for-allergen-ruling-1.2029391">click here</a>) suggests that restaurants are not ready, but why? These regulations have been on the horizon since 2011. It is true that there are countries, including the United Kingdom, opting to verbally relay the allergen information. As a member of the allergen community I can reliably say that this will not work well in Ireland as the sole way of complying with this regulation. There are some fantastic examples of restaurants in Ireland being completely capable of doing this, but that is not 100% of restaurants all of the time. It mostly comes down to miscommunication and lack of allergen understanding. I have been witness to (and victim of) it more times than I'd like to admit.<br />
<br />
There is a consensus among restaurants that this legislation has been "sprung" upon them due to a lack of information from the Food Safety Authority. For example, I have spoken to several restaurants around the city that said they had little information, but some understood and had already implemented the new guidelines.<br />
<br />
The worrying part was a minority that said, "New legislation?!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do have to ask why restaurants aren't ready for this? If a restaurant is not ready for this, they are not a restaurant I would be eating in and I doubt they're a restaurant anyone from the allergy community would be interested in eating in. Restaurants should already be displaying allergens on their menu.<br />
<br />
In the interim, they can produce a listing complementary to their menu while they work on their actual menu. They have to have this available Saturday 13th December 2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What does this mean for a coeliac?</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, we're going to see wheat, oats, rye, barley, and all other derivatives that contain the gluten protein bolded in the ingredients list. The "may contain cereals containing gluten" will remain on the packaging where cross contamination may have occurred in the manufacturing process. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In restaurants it means you have access to the ingredients in dishes and they have to declare cross contamination issues. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This does not mean you do not have to inform the server of your dietary issues. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This company is a family-owned bakery that has recently expanded its markets. I got to taste two of their products and believe me they are amazingly tasty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The goods all come frozen, so just pop them in the freezer at home and defrost at room temperature when you know people are coming over. It surprised me how well they defrosted. </div>

I tried two products. The first is the chocolate cake. I brought it down to my parents house when my brother was visiting for dessert and it lasted exactly one night in the house, as you can tell from the photo! I didn't even get a photo of the tin half eaten before it vanished. If I hadn't of said to anyone that it was gluten free, no one would have noticed. The cake was rich in chocolatey goodness and moist, oh so moist. It was just like it had come out of the oven and cooled. </div>

The second product we tested out was this apple and cinnamon muffin. After we defrosted these, we heated them up a little. Word of warning, don't heat them too much because the apple bits get really hot! Other than that the muffins had a lovely coat of cinnamon complimentary to the apple with a light and fluffy texture. </div>

They don't just do sweet things. The product range also includes breads, pizza, burger buns, and pastries. </div>

Edinburgh Gluten Free for anyone that's interested!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
At the end of June/start of July we took a little trip to Edinburgh for a family event. Being gluten free I had to research the possibility of food, more particularly nice food, to be consumed for the duration of the stay. We decided against booking a hotel and opted for an apartment through AirBnB because then we could have a kitchen and control a few meals (and costs) throughout the stay.<br />
<br />
When travelling I always say to research your destination. For the Edinburgh trip I used two sites primarily: <a href="http://www.geniusglutenfree.com/gluten-free-living/blog/gluten-free-edinburgh-in-the-fringe/">Genius Gluten Free</a> and <a href="https://www.coeliac.org.uk/local-groups/edinburgh/">Coeliac UK</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll start from the beginning in Dublin Airport! In Terminal Two is is possible to grab a sandwich in O'Briens. They did ask if I was coeliac or gluten intolerant, which shows some level of training has been given to the staff. When I advised coeliac the server changed his gloves and brought out clean utensils to make my sandwich. However, they do advise they cannot guarantee completely contamination free food. In saying that I was pretty confident the server knew what he was doing. </div>

We had breakfast in Loudons Café & Bakery on the first morning and they provided gluten free bread with a smile.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had rented an apartment through AirBnB so we had a kitchen to work with. The first morning was the only morning we ate out. After that it was cereal picking up in Sainsburys for breakkie!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Lunch and Dinner:</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had lunch and dinner in several restaurants throughout the stay. Most of which were extremely helpful and delicious! I didn't take pictures of the food because, well, I was on holidays and concentrating on eating and enjoying it! </div>

It's tucked in a side street and across from it we found dumpsters, so we were a little apprehensive. That happened to be completely without cause.

I freaking loved the tapas at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cafeandaluzedinburgh?fref=ts&rf=248167248641817">Café Andaluz</a>! Plenty of gluten free options and they stocked gluten free Daura Beer. Had a fantastic night here.<br />

I'd been to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spoon-Edinburgh/181608111872023?fref=ts">Spoo<span id="goog_955693344"></span><span id="goog_955693345"></span>n</a> Café before. Last time it was amazing. They had bread and lots and lots of options. This time was really disappointing. They didn't really have the knowledge they had. The waitress had to check and triple check with the kitchen. The only option we ended up with was vegetable soup. </div>

On our last night we ate in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wagamama/182127261875400?fref=ts">Wagamama</a>. Wagamama is in Ireland too and generally are quite good with allergens so we knew this one would be a solid choice. It didn't disappoint. We had a nice meal and the staff were well informed on dietary requirements. </div>

Sainsbury's was the business for snacks! We nabbed these little beauties and brought them in our bags during the day. For our trips to the zoo (still really disappointed we didn't see the pandas!) and to the museums we made our own sambos to bring in our bags. We obviously couldn't expect the more touristy places known for fast food to have anything suitable. </div>

One place that did surprise was the National History museum. Found this snack by Honeybuns there. A little greasy in that it soaked brown paper, but not bad at all.<br />
<br />
Throughout the stay we drank Crabbies Ginger Beer in practically any pub we entered. It was widely available and a happy break from being stuck with just wine or the hard stuff while we were away.<br />
<br />
My travel advise is always the same:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pack lunch for the trip. </li>
<li>Research before you go. </li>
<li>Always have back up snacks for those moments when you run short. </li>
</ul>

I've been taking my time with the review because, let's face it, it was a lot of stuff and I was munching my way through! Also, I was awaiting a price list, but I've not gotten it. I checked around and people generally recommend Little Italy for their authentic (and beautiful) Italian cheeses. In fact, one Italian lady advised that she goes in here for the trimmings for her Christmas feast. </div>

These are fine, but they lack a bit of flavour. They do come in little packs in the larger pack so are handy for the lunchbox snacks!</div>

I do like a good rice cake, but I know not everyone is a fan. I like to get creative with them as you can see form the pictures! They were pretty good as they go!</div>

I really did not like these. I'm hoping the packet was gone off or something because they were vile. They look like mini bread sticks, but when I ate one there was a distinctly pungent taste that hit my nose and my throat at the same time as soon as I bit down. I tried a few to make sure and made my other half tried one. I didn't finish one and the packet ended up in the bin. As I said, I hope it was just the packet I had. </div>

The pasta isn't bad. Sticks a little so keep stirring and watch it because it goes from not cooked to cooked very fast. </div>

I actually made risotto for the first time with these and you know what... It worked! I was really hoping it would because they're ideal to make: quick, easy and filling. You do have to add your own cheese and butter to finish it off, so it's not a microwave job. And definitely keep stirring to stop it sticking. Add a few veggies and you're sorted! I wasn't too fond of the saffron one, but my other half liked it (and the mushroom one because myself and mushrooms don't mix). </div>
