Cooking for Someone Special?

February 10th, 2012

In previous articles we have talked a lot about how to deal with a gluten-free intolerance – your diet, where to shop, what is safe to eat – but we have rarely discussed what it is like to live with someone with suffering from coeliac.

For instance, with Valentines day just around the corner how can you safely sweep your partner off their feet, without spending the whole time worrying about the restaurant menu?

Sure, you can cook for your partner at home – and we have to confess, there is nothing more romantic than coming home to a specially made meal – but wouldn’t it be fun if you could treat your partner to a meal out, no matter the occasion?

Well we have got some good news…
