In this post I will share with you the very best of the London Free From Festival 2019. Don't tell the other festivals but I think the Free From Festival is my favourite. It is billed as the UK’s first Gluten, Dairy and Refined Sugar-Free Food Festival. First run in London in 2016 and after deserved success now featuring in Bristol, Oxford and London in 2019. What is special about ...
Product Reviews, Roundups, Taste Tests & Interviews
I love to taste test new and lesser known gluten free and vegan foods. I doubly love to learn a little about the people that make them. This section features taste tests, product round ups and interviews with producers and artisans.
All products reviewed and recommended are products I have bought rather than freebies so when I tell you I love them I absolutely mean it!

Hello Nuzest Protein Bars! Nuzest is an brand of antipodean origins producing premium quality plant based protein powders and blends worldwide. Their 'Clean Lean Protein' is probably the highest quality pea protein on the market & is markedly different & simply better in several ways to others. Better how? Well in short . . . Unlike most other proteins it mixes smoothly into any ...
Trek Protein Bars Taste Test Review
In 2019 Trek have launched a range of gluten-free vegan Protein Bars. These add something very new to the Trek range of energy bars and high protein flapjacks. Trek are adding a new Protein Bar option to an incredibly well served market. If the Protein Bar market were a ship and Bars were its passengers the ship would be capsizing under the enormous payload and the passengers would be evacuating ...
Planet Organic Protein Bars Taste Test Review
As a lucky Londoner I have the option to shop in Planet Organic. Having met the founder Renée Elliott and heard her describe her crazy trail breaker dream to bring organic food and health to communities I like to take up that option. It helps that Planet stocks lots of my favourite things. Caveat that organic is not always better and Planet is not cheap and cheerful but I do like it a lot. Planet ...

Tribe Protein Bars Taste Test Review
Tribe Protein Bars seem to go to lots of places that other Bars do not. They hike, cycle, swim, surf, climb, run, ramble. Just looking at the Tribe Instagram feed probably burns up enough calories to make room for a Tribe Bar. Several Tribe Bars are Gluten-Free and Vegan. That together with 20 grams or more protein per 100 grams gains them inclusion within my ongoing mission to taste-test ...

Vive! Interview with the Vive Guys
Since launch in 2017 tiny start-up Vive have achieved the rather amazing feat of successfully introducing new Protein Bars and Protein Powders to a very crowded market. Credit to their bars and powders being good and different enough to secure a place in the hearts of us demanding and spoiled for choice consumers! I reckon that at least one reason for success is that Vive Bars have some ...
Vive Protein Bars Taste Test Review
Vive Protein Bars are vegan, gluten free, soy free and free from refined sugar. Bars designed for active, health conscious people who also demand pleasure from their food. I first reviewed Vive Bars in 2017 and celebrated (mostly by eating them) that they offered some very different flavors. There are oodles of bars from lots of different brands offering the same popular flavors. Chocolate, ...
Naturya Superbars Review & Interview!
If knowledge of Protein Bars was a academic discipline I would surely be the recipient of honorary degrees from institutions seeking fame by association. If familiarity with gluten free vegan protein bars earned awards I would have to rent extra space to keep all my trophies. So when I tell you that Naturya SuperBars are stand out winners on nutrition and taste you should imagine that I am wearing ...
KamAlive Artisanal Chocolates Taste Test & Interview
I discovered KamAlive during a very real life Easter Egg hunt. Specifically a hunt for gluten free, dairy free and vegan chocolate eggs. I claimed this was for the purpose of being able to prepare a guide to the Best Gluten Free and Vegan Easter Eggs. Selfless work for the benefit of others. I continue to make this claim. During this Easter Egg hunt I scoured the internet, asked for suggestions ...
No Dough Pizza Co Taste Test Review
Help me imagine something. Let us imagine it together so well it becomes real. Imagine gluten free pizza. Not difficult right? There are plenty. Now imagine gluten free vegan pizza. Ooh, we lost a lot right there but we are okay. Such pizzas exist. So far so good. Time to increase the challenge. Imagine a pizza where a "serving" is actually the entire pizza rather than an entirely make believe ...
Raw Gorilla Taste Test Review & Interview
If supermarket free from aisles could talk and were honest they might confess that most of their contents were, just perhaps, not so great nutritionally. Terrific as treats. Wonderful to have as options. Super as a showcase for the many creative ways that refined starches and added sugars can be shaped into edible food like objects. Raw Gorilla Crispies & Munchies are arrive inside packets but ...
