McDonald's Gluten-free Big Mac

Last year, McDonald’s trialed gluten-free buns in five of their branches across the Netherlands. My closest was in Zaandam, so of course it warranted a field trip out there to try them.

Restaurant Review: Saf, Whole Foods, High Street Kensington

Saf Restaurant and Bar is a little restaurant nestled into the upstairs “food court” in Whole Foods, High St Kensington. I went shopping with my mum and, as both of us are coeliacs, I did a little research into what coeliac-friendly food is available in the area. We considered Wagamama, but they only have a…
