WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION
Hi, I'm Maddie. Welcome to the Free From Gluten Revolution!
We coeliacs shouldn't have to miss out, so here you'll find delicious gluten free recipes, coeliac lifestyle tips and more, helping us to eat safe, delicious food and feel less overwhelmed about coeliac life.
Let's face it, navigating coeliac disease alone can be hard - so together, let's create a community that really gets it. Put down that dry, crumbly bread you paid a small fortune for - it's time for revolution!
MAKING COELIAC LIFE EASIER
We all want to make coeliac life as easy as possible, right? Less information overload and "what-can-I-eat" stress, and more of being able to enjoy life and worry less. My gluten free recipes and coeliac lifestyle tips will hopefully help to solve some of the curveballs that coeliac life has thrown your way...
ADJUSTING TO COELIAC LIFE
I know first-hand how difficult it can be getting used to a gluten free lifestyle - at first it really does feel like a mountain to climb, but with the right support & time to adjust, you'll soon find that you're thriving.
BEST BEGINNER'S RESOURCES
If you're new to coeliac life, I'd recommend starting with my tips below to help you move on from the cereal phase (OK, was this just me...?). Get to grips with the basics quickly so you can start filling up your kitchen with the good stuff.
MORE ABOUT ME
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 4 years ago, in my mid-20s. Having grown up in a foodie family with no previous coeliac history, it came as a bit of a shock (to say the least!).
At first - being completely honest - it all felt quite doom and gloom. It's easy to laugh about it now, but back then I remember crying when my favourite chocolate shop had nothing I could eat any more. I wondered if I'd ever be able to enjoy a takeaway safely again, or have my mum and dad's Christmas dinner.
The good news is, I've found just about anything is possible with the right recipe and a solid support network. And I want to help with both! Let's do the hard stuff together so we can get on with enjoying our lives to the fullest again! 😊
DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE RECIPES
"But what can I still eat?": the first question we all ask ourselves when we're diagnosed! And the answer is, a lot more than you think. At first it can feel like everything is off-limits, but once you become more confident cooking & baking at home, you'll be amazed how much you can adapt, and how many naturally gluten free foods there are out there. Hopefully these recipes will give you some inspiration!
You just can't beat a chocolate cookie, & these triple chocolate cookies are top tier: studded with chunks of white & milk chocolate, with a soft, chewy centre.
This easy gluten free bake is a great recipe to start with - you won't be able to tell they're gluten free & nor will the normies.
