Anthea I'm just going to take a selection of my own stuff (cuppa soups, flavoured rice wafers, fruit leather, dry GF cereal etc) on the assumption that they can't cater to me but will be pleasantly surprised if they do. DH will also be under instruction to stop for hot food on his way to the hospital when he comes to visit.
I must admit I haven't tried any of the pastry mixes. I'd definitely be keen to try the Marx stuff (I  their breads) but I'd need to do a direct order because they don't stock it in any Wellington stores.
I'm jealous that you're on the North Shore. I always go to iE Produce when I'm up that way, they have such a great selection!
Mmmm, I love Burger Fuel too, I was so pleased when they brought out GF buns. I also love muffin breaks GF muffins. The local one often has a couple of GF flavours available so obviously I have to buy both
I was so dissappointed last night. I had a Basco GF Carbonara Fettucine (pasta and sauce mix) which I decided to through together for a quick dinner. I'd heated up the milk etc as per the instructions and went to open the packet of pasta and sauce mix when I noticed it was well past its best before date I only bought it last week too now I need to try and find my receipt so I can get my money back.

Mmmm Basco's carbonara!! I used to take that for lunches when I was working. I had heard about Burger Fuel doing GF but surely if they are selling them as GF burgers, they would have to be contamination-conscious? I react to G cracker/bread crumbs and even get the odd reaction when I didn't think I had eaten gluten

For most coeliacs low-gluten is ok.
This is from the NZ Coeliac Society website:
"A claim to the effect that a food has a low gluten content must not be made in relation to a food unless the food contains no more than 20 mg gluten per 100g of the food.
The major change has been in the Low Gluten claim, which now makes a maximum level of 20mg gluten/100g of food as the sole criteria for making a low gluten claim.
The prohibition on oats and malt has also been removed for the low gluten claim.
The NZ Society of Gastroenterologists and the NZ Dietetic Association have stated that the Low Gluten Standard is generally considered the appropriate treatment standard for those with coeliac disease."
One thing I found in the last couple of years is that some food (like the envirokids cereals for eg) that was previously known as Gluten Free has had the GF label removed and now just says Wheat Free. My sis called to enquire about this and was told that it's not that the recipe has changed, it's because testing methods can now measure miniscule amounts of Gluten where it couldn't before. Those food can no longer be known as gluten free even though 2 years ago they were and those with coeliacs or gluten intolerance were happily eating them with no issues.

Enjoy!!
I forgot to tell you all I made a GF chocolate cake last Friday using the "Freefrom" chocolate cake mix. It was so yummy! I ate 1/2 the cake myself over the next 2 days They also do a chocolate mud cake mix and a lemon cake mix.

I like the Freefrom biscuit range.
I heard that "low gluten" has mostly come in as a butt-saver for previously "gluten free" products that haven't been changed.... but rice bubbles? Any brand? Same goes for cornflakes??

ive really been craving cheesecake - does anyone have any good suggestions on how to make a GF base? i cant think of any decent biscuits to make a butter biscuit base. |
I saw a GF cheesecake while I was in Napier - they made the base out of melted chocolate and crushed hazelnuts but I'm pretty sure its a fridge cheesecake instead of a baked one.
