Val has sent in a copy of a California Prunes promotional booklet she found in Holland & Barrett recently. In it, there are some fab recipes, but my two favourites are the nut loaves - prune (of course), brazil and pistachio, and almond, prune (again) and cashew. Both sound lovely, although I haven't had a …

Ta - da! I have now revamped the allergy and  food intolerance tests for you, taking into account new methods and research. You would think this was easy given the amount of stuff in the media about allergy testing. The truth is, though, that because no-one knows exactly how delayed food intolerance occurs, no-one knows …
Sharon has also let me know how much her children like Worthenshaw's ice-cream. Many easily available ice creams contain soya and nuts so it was fab for them to find this new range that was first aired on Dragon's Den of all places! I can't vouch for ingredients (contains fructose, coconut and several gums) or …
A recent study at Stanford School of Medicine shows that temporarily using a drug can lower IgE classical allergy reactions to milk during oral desensitisation treatment, lowering the reactions for long enough for the therapy to work. Previously, this has been an issue because people react to the oral challenges of an allergen and quit …
You may remember I wrote about these allergen-free mixes a while back. Today, I wrote an extensive post about them on the trulyglutenfree site for grain-free people, but I am sure a lot of you will fancy trying some of these so have posted it here too for you. This is a fab range of …

It is award 46... and counting." If you haven't tried Booja Booja yet, you don't know what you're missing; their truffles are divine. And don't get …

 Hot on the heels of my Carrot Cake breakfast idea, here's a cake made with ground almonds that my sister saw on Nigella. I haven't tried it yet, but I think the changes I would make are: 1, not to toast the pinenuts (it changes the fat) and anyway I would use flaked almonds on …
OK, so I forgot to tell you that I loved COLD Ready Brek as a child, see here for that post. You want warm, I give you warm: Heat up some frozen red berries (those packs you get in the supermarkets are great to have in) for 2 minutes in a pan and add a little honey. Stir into …
