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.

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 …

New distribution for Dr Joneja’s Histamine books

Dr  Janice Joneja is recognised as a world expert on histamine intolerance – or, to be more accurate, histamine excess. Although intolerance to histamine does exist it is extremely rare. Most of the 1% of the world’s population who are thought to experience histamine related symptoms are actually reacting to an excess of histamine in …

Can words heal?

Sticks and stones may break our bones but words can never hurt us. But is that true? Or, if words cannot literally hurt us, can they either help or hinder us in healing ourselves? This question was raised by a recent article in the Townsend Letter, an e-newsletter for doctors and laymen focusing on alternative …

Veg Power – making it fun

How come the food industry is so successful in persuading us – and our kids – to buy sweet, sugary, unhealthy food instead of healthy veg? Easy…. They are tapping in to the fact that our 10,000 year old DNA still believes that when we come across something sweet (ripe fruit in season, honey up …

Observing the speed limit

Rather grumpily, at 7.45am yesterday morning, I signed in to my on line ‘Speed Awareness Course’ – the alternative I had been offered instead of points and a fine. My crime? Doing 24mph on a 20mph road at 8.30 on a Sunday morning. The course was run by a group called TCC. Our ‘course leader’ …

Heavy Metal and chemical toxicity

Are you worried about the amount of metal and the number of chemicals that we come into contact with on a daily, indeed hourly, basis? Not all of them (at a rough estimate there are over 150,000 chemicals in constant circulation) are bad. Indeed, many are crucial to our daily lives. But many are bad, …
