Pepperoni Pizza Fries. I think that just says it all. I loved this and ate it all up. Not only was it amazingly good it was also gluten free. Yippee. 🥳 #glutenfreeloadedfries

Ordered steak and chips at the Ship Inn in Mevagissey. When I said no onion rings as I’m gluten free, was told that they were gluten free and that made me a very happy man. It seems so silly that just a little thing like having gluten free onions rings can make a grown man smile. 😊 😂 #glutenfree

Had the opportunity to visit Par Beach Cafe last week when down in Cornwall and as I always do when I visit I had one of their gluten free pizzas. Absolutely love them as the base is so good and the toppings were just amazing. A lovely meat feast pizza all for me. 😂 🍕 #glutenfree

Gluten free does not automatically mean healthy. I still eat chocolate. I still love snacks. I still get excited by an indulgent cake. 🍰 Someone once saw me eating a chocolate bar and said, “I thought you were eating healthier?” Because they knew I was on a gluten free diet. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #GlutenFree

Freshly fried cinnamon sugar doughnuts that were genuinely amazing. Soft, warm, sugary and absolutely not something I was going to miss out on at the Northants Gluten Free Festival today. This is exactly why gluten free festivals are dangerous places. 😂 #glutenfree

This was fish and chips, and scampi and chips from Howe and Co at the Northants Gluten Free Festival and honestly, there are few happier sights than a coeliac being able to order proper chippy. Golden, crispy, sunny and very much demolished. Did anyone else try this at the festival? #glutenfree

It’s wild how often coeliac disease gets treated like a lifestyle choice. It isn’t. It’s an autoimmune condition. And sometimes that means explaining yourself more than you’d like. May contain humour. Definitely doesn’t contain gluten. #CoeliacLife #GlutenFreeUK #glutenfreelife #glutenfree

It’s not a preference. It’s not a phase. It’s my immune system trying to fight a baguette.

Tried to make cute pumpkin truffles. Accidentally created edible demons. At least they are gluten free. 🎃 😂

A side-by-side comparison image labelled “Expectation” and “Reality.” On the left, perfectly smooth, glossy chocolate pumpkin truffles are arranged neatly on a plate, each decorated with small orange sweets for eyes and smiles, topped with a green icing stem. On the right, homemade truffles sit on a similar plate but look lumpy and uneven, with colourful sweets forming messy, grinning faces. The comparison is humorous and clearly shows the contrast between professional and homemade results.

Warm gluten-free brownie, meet Cornish clotted cream. A duo so rich, it probably owns property in Padstow. Had this beauty at The Britannia Inn in Par — crisp edges, fudgy middle, and that cream? A proper dollop of indulgence. (And yes, I did consider licking the plate.) #GlutenFree

A blue ceramic plate holds a dessert featuring two triangular pieces of chocolate brownie drizzled with chocolate sauce. A generous scoop of Cornish clotted cream sits beside them, with a decorative chocolate stick placed across the cream and brownies.

I cooked some halloumi the other night, and they came out so crispy! The coating was super easy. I coated them in olive oil and then cornflour, and put them in the air fryer for 10 minutes—perfect! I just used a dipping sauce, but does anyone have any ideas on what I could coat them in next time?

A close-up shows five rectangular pieces of halloumi cheese that have been coated in a light, crispy batter and fried to a golden-brown color. The texture of the coating appears slightly uneven and bubbly. The halloumi inside is visible in some areas as a creamy white. They are presented on a plain white plate.

Gluten-free? ✅ Delicious? ✅ Completely addictive? ✅ Toffifee might just be the perfect sweet—hazelnut, caramel, nougat, and chocolate all in one bite. Honestly, if loving these is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Who else is obsessed? 👀 #GlutenFreeTreats

A box of Toffifee chocolates by Storck. The packaging is golden brown with bold white and brown lettering spelling ‘Toffifee.’ Below the name, the description reads: ‘A hazelnut in caramel with creamy nougat and chocolate.’ The front of the box features an image of the sweets—small caramel cups filled with nougat, topped with a whole hazelnut, and finished with a smooth chocolate button. The box contains 15 pieces.

We thought we were having curry for dinner… turns out, we were cooking plastic instead. Moral of the story? Always read the instructions—especially the part about removing it from the tub first. #CookingFails

Two plastic tubs of curry on a baking tray, both looking overcooked and slightly melted. The top curry has an orange-brown sauce with a thick, uneven texture, while the bottom one is more yellow and has an odd, baked appearance. The plastic tubs have warped and partially melted, sticking to the tray. The whole scene looks like a cooking experiment gone wrong.
