Gluten Free Pie! - coeliaccrohnschronicles.overblog.com

Being Coeliac one of the main foods that I found most difficult to give up was Pie, especially chicken & mushroom or chicken and ham pie's!! There are of course many gluten free substitutes for pastry, bread, pasta etc however finding a decent 'normal' tasting pastry, as the texture is always extremely crumbly, make's it difficult to enjoy any homemade pies as they aren't quite the same as a glutenous pie.

When I first moved to London 3 years ago I didn't cook at all, I wasn't overlly creative in the kitchen and always took the easier option of eating out. At this point I discovered this online bakery, 'The Gluten Free Bakers' that delivered! They have loads to offer including breads, savouries, pancakes, pizza base, confectionary & seasonal specials. I have tried the mini quiche which are really lovely, the sausage rolls which were average and the pies which I love!! They have a great selection of fillings and as I order in bulk I can keep them in the freezer and when I'm in the mood for a gluten free pie I heat them thoroughly in the oven for about 25 mins or until piping hot.

The Gluten Free Bakers deliver all over the UK as well as Northern Ireland, however you must order a minimum of 6 items and a minimum of 12 items if ordering from Northern Ireland. All the food is freshly baked and can be eaten within 3/4 days however when buying in bulk just put them into the freezer and they always come in handy when you're not sure what to cook or you fancy a pastry treat!

I was diagnosed with Coeliac when I was 18 and since then so many more products and gluten free alternatives have become available in stores such as Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Asda & Holland & Barrett.

I have tried and tested quite a few products to find out what tastes best but I am yet to try some of the below alternatives.
