All Christmas go….

17/11/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  2 Comments

We are currently being submerged by a tidal wave of Christmas products – so you must excuse me if I do not pass comment on the greater happenings in the world for a day or two…

This is partly because the first judging for the 2012 FreeFromFood Awards happens next week – for the Christmas category as we do not think that we would be able to get a number of the Christmas products in February for the main judging sessions. This year’s entries include the anticipated puds, mince pies and cakes, plus some chutneys and some patés but not, sadly, any dairy-free advent calendars!  I suspect that the makers of advent calendars are far too busy making them to have time to enter them for an award!

It is also because, now that our FreeFromChristmas site is live, we are getting an endless stream of emails asking us to add yet more delicious freefrom edible Christmas goodies to our lists – so we are!  Next up is Groovy Foods‘ Panetonne which I am really looking forward to trying as I am seriously addicted to panettone and so far I have not managed to find a good gluten-free one.

The Christmas pudding, by the way, is Lucinda Bruce Gardyne (of Genius Foods)’ recipe – it appears after the details of their delicious gluten-free mince pies.

Back to more serious matters anon…

    What about some sugar free goodies for those of us – and we are many – who have a problem with sugar?

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
