Glutafin Gluten Free Pizza Bases

I completely forgot I ordered a free sample of gluten free pizza bases. When I received a red card through the door saying I had a parcel waiting for me, I got really excited and thought it was an advent calendar. I was wrong, and luckily much happier to receive two gluten free pizza bases. 

Now, I am a huge fan of pizza. Its often hard to find gf oven pizza in the supermarkets (especially near my flat), so I am normally one to buy the bases from the shops and add my own topping, (I have become particularly good at making these after a trip to the pub). 

As this was an unexpected delivery, I wasn't really prepared for the occasion, so I raided my fridge of things I could add. Luckily I had tomato puree, so I added Pesto, Pepperoni, Sweetcorn, Onion, Chillies and extra mature Cheddar. 

The crust is outlined on the base before you cook it so you know where to leave the topping. 

I think in total it took around 15-20 minutes to cook in the oven, so slightly longer then normal pizzas. 

The base tasted amazing, it was the perfect size, held together really well, and the crust had an incredible crunch to it.

I believe you can only order these at the moment (please correct me if im wrong).

Too Good To Be Gluten Free - Quiche Lorraine

I first discovered the No.G range when I moved to London and took my first trip to Whole Foods. Quiche was something I was a huge fan of back in my gluten eating days, so was thrilled to discover that gf quiche existed. The price always put me off buying it, as it was £4 for a very small size, but every time I went in I loved eyeing up the shelves to see if the cost of these items had been lowered. 

This payday, I decided to treat myself. The price had been lowered to £3.50 (that 50p makes all the difference), and I was desperate to try. 

The size is small, I reckon you could eat one to your self with salad for lunch/dinner.

It tasted amazing. Exactly how I remember Quiche Lorraine tasting back in the day. The pastry had a really nice flavour to it, and although it didn't hold together so well (c'mon, this is gluten free after all, we aren't expecting miracles), and was tricky to get out of the foil tin, it was definitely strong enough to eat with your fingers if you wanted. Made with maple cured smoked bacon, extra mature Cheddar and Emmental cheese in a free range egg custard. Yum.

Available in Sainsburys, Whole Foods or online at Ocado. They have a full range of products including pies, tarts and cheesecakes. Website here. 

The only negative about this product is the price.

Gluten Free Leon

Leon is every coeliacs dream. I'd say around 80% of their menu was gluten free. It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite whether you are on your lunch break, enjoying a shopping trip, or just exploring the sights of London. Their menu is super heathy with clear guidence of allergens written under each item. Super healthy and super quick, I can't explain to you how much I love this place.

Imagine peering into a glass counter full of cakes knowing you can eat every single one? I know it sounds too good to be true, Leon have made is happen. Hallelujah! 

On my lunch break the other day I decided to treat myself to their Cranberry Bakewell, and my gosh I'm glad I did.

It's made with polenta and ground almonds amongst other yummy things, and topped with dried cranberries. Incredible.

Their restaurants are all over central London and Heathrow Airport. Visit their website here.
