Welcome...

Hi there!

Thanks for visiting. Here I will be blogging about restaurants in the local area and my gluten free experiences with them.

As a bit of background, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 3 years ago and know how tough it is trying to find places to eat out. As such, I thought it would be handy to have somewhere that gave a list of local restaurants and how they treat us gluten-freers!

If you have visited anywhere that you think deserves a mention, leave a comment and I'll check it out. You can also find me at www.facebook.com/hertfordshireglutenfree and on twitter @hertsglutenfree

Rainbow Cafe, Cambridge

If you are ever a bit further afield than Hertfordshire and find yourself in Cambridge, why not check out the Rainbow Cafe?

It's a lovely little restaurant that not only caters for gluten-freers, but also vegans and is completely vegetarian. As I have mentioned before, my Mum is a veggie coeliac so it is always great to find somewhere that can cater for gluten free veggies, and she loves this place (as does my non-coeliac, meat eating Dad!).  My parents actually visited this restaurant for lunch today and you can see pics of their delicious food below. And, not only do they do gluten free mains, they also provide gluten free puddings as well! I always find that in many restaurants, the gluten free pudding choice is often restricted to ice-cream or fruit salad, so it is great that this is not the case here.

 
The Latvian Potato Bake is one of the restaurant's most popular dishes, and you can see why. The topping on the beautifully seasoned veggie filling (potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, garlic & herbs) is lovely and crunchy (made of cheese and gluten free breadcrumbs).
 
 
 
Tagine L'Algerienne (roasted sweet potatoes, aubergines and whole roasted carrot chunks, slow cooked in a rich North African tomato casserole, with rice and green lentils).
 

Lemon and Walnut Treacle Tart.

Lovely, friendly veggie restaurant, great for the veggie gluten freers who so often get forgotten: 9.5/10 (sorry it's not a 10 Mum... I'm as stingy with my 10s as Craig Revel Horwood!)
