FreeFrom Food awards Day 5 – Tea Time!

05/02/2015 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

So what could be better than 30 odd chocolates laid out for tasting?  How about 55 cakes, cookies and biscuits? And here are our judges looking suitably serious and intent on the business in hand…

Tea time

TeatimeTeaTimeSurprisingly, although there were 55 entries, they only included a small handful of what I would call ‘proper cakes’ –  the sort that you put on a  big plate and cut into large tea-time slices. Instead we had every variety of muffin and crumpet and tea cake and biscuit and cookie and brownie.  Many of them, as you can see, very colourful and most of them extremely tasty.

TeaTimeAnd while some of our judges were starting to look a little worried by entry number 40, others were still going very strong right up to entry number 55!! Fortunately we had a lot of keen bakers amongst them who were interested in the different textures and baking methods that had been used – and in how many allergens had been successfully excluded from the mix.

Next up sessions to be reported on will be somewhat more puritanical but possibly more useful!!  Breads, vegetarian ready meals and Foods to go – a massively growing market not only in freefrom but across the food sector.

* TeaTime  was sponsored by Mrs Crimbles.

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 …
