After eating without thinking for four decades, suddenly the word Coeliac entered my life, which in turn brought two other words. Gluten. Free. This blog tracks my personal food journey and experiences. I hope you enjoy it.

Kitchen by Mike is one of those places that – up until now – existed in my head as a design and food dream. In this dream, there’s a huge, spacious – yet warm and friendly warehouse showroom, with a beautiful collection of Australian made...READ ON»

I look at this pic now and think I could almost have called this salad a rainbow salad – it has so many colours in it. It came from a desire for a) a craving for health and all sorts of vegies, and b) to not...READ ON»

There’s been much triathlete activity in the house recently. Lots of exercise, and lots of healthy eating going on. No – not really from me, but my partner. Some mornings after his training I’d find him drinking beetroot juice, made from powdered beetroot (see pic). When questioned as to the link...READ ON»

Yes welcome to the restrot. Our restrot. The one that is open every day – serving meals to it’s 4 regular, loyal customers. It’s not fancy, but we keep coming back. Here’s a series of snaps for our father’s day dinner, where the restrot served beef cheeks and Persian love...READ ON»

About Me

I’m a graphic designer (not a chef, nutritionist or gluten free expert), who is happiest in the kitchen or behind a camera lens. Recently diagnosed with Coeliac disease, I’m looking for great, healthy, family friendly gluten free food and places to eat. MORE...
