For those with an iPhone or an iPod - a good gluten free eating guide has been on the top of our gluten free list!

Darko has just released an iPhone Application for those with a gluten intolerance or allergy -

My wife has a gluten allergy, and I was getting frustrated with not knowing where we can find places to eat that are close to us, wherever we may be. So I gathered a listing of as many restaurants that have gluten free items and made the app to help us out.

Visit idarko.com for more details, or click here to find the App on the App store.

Vitarium Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese
Orgran Kids Dinosaur Wholegrain Cookies (gluten free, of course!)
Freedom Foods Gluten Free Wild Bears Choc

yum yum!

My favourite is the Rosemary & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Gluten Free Deli Dipper which is perfect on it's own, but I could easily dip it into some hommus or relish for an extra kick.

I haven't seen these out in stores yet, but I will try to get in touch with Naturally Good about where to find these yummy gluten free snacks. (I picked up a few boxes from the Gluten Free Food Expo Sydney recently).

This is something I've been waiting on since starting to eat gluten free food - ready made gluten free pastry, including gluten free puff pastry!

I've already tried out all of the range and I can highly recommend them all - Gluten Free Rough Puff pastry, Sweet Shortcrust pastry, Savoury Shortcrust pastry and Rich Chocolate Shortcrust pastry.

Another delicious gluten free premix by Melinda's Gluten Free Goodies.

I've made the cake into a truffle type dessert by rolling a pinch of cake into a ball, and then dipping it into chocolate. Amazing! I've had a lot of good feedback from this one :)

Recipe coming soon!
