I love Mrs crimbles! Especially the Chocolate coconut macaroons.. They are available at Tesco's and Sainsburys, but i especially love that i can usually find them at petrol stations where there is very limited choice, so at least it keeps my gluten free needs met!

I'd love Mrs Crimble to bring out a recipe book so I can make my own gluten free treats!

I'm not GF but my friends daughter needs a GF diet. I really struggle to get the right ingredients when she comes to visit and I actually feel really guilty about it

If you have clementines or similar small sweet oranges that need eating there's a fabulous dense cake you can make by boiling them and then blending with ground almonds, egg and sugar. It's dairy free too so great for pretty much all diets except vegan.

I'm not coeliac but try not to eat too much wheat/flour so often end up choosing gluten free options. I prefer things that happen to be GF like your macaroons rather than stuff that uses substitutes like another type of flour.

(I ate a whole pack of Mrs Chrimbles coconut rings in one go last week. I'm breastfeeding and need the energy, OK?!)

ooh, ivana

I was pondering that cake the other day, as I have a clementine glut

it just sounds a bit horrid. The putting-EVERYthing-in bit

I might give it a go now

Was amazed what a difference a gluten free diet had on a pupil at my school on the autistic spectrum.

Spring I think you're probably meant to use unwaxed fruit but I just use what's going. It is a bit strange to pulp it all but it really doesn't taste too bitter - the skin is really thin on clems so it softens up really easily, meaning you don't get big lumps of peel (use a food processor).

My husband's just been diagnosed with IBS so I read this thread with interest - gluten-free cooking is brand-new to us!

We already loved Mrs Crimble's macaroons though Smile
