Gluten & Wheat Free Food

Being on a gluten free or wheat free diet is not always easy, especially when you are eating out in restaurants or round friends or relatives who don’t know what you can and can’t eat.

However, whilst at home, and as long as you have some basic ingredients, it is fairly easy to adapt most recipes to make them gluten and wheat free.
