So here is an assortment of other great picks from The Allergy and Free From Show 2013. To see even more of our favourites from the day click here!

The Dietary Specials (DS) brand had a big stand at The Allergy and Free From Show and I have to say I fell a little too much in love with their Quiche Lorraine, a relatively new product DS were showing off. It really did taste just like a regular quiche which is something I have really missed over the past few years. It is both gluten and wheat free filled with delicious smoky bacon and cheese. The DS Quiche Lorraine is available now in both Tesco and Asda and is definitely worth a try.

Heck Sausages are a brand that I have recently walked past in Tesco but failed to purchase even though I am a massive fan of their packaging. I now have some heck sausages in my freezer as their stand at The Allergy and Free From Show delivered amazing free samples. When I arrived the sausages were scorching hot and ready for tasting. I tried the Plump Pork & Apple and the Pork & Proud flavours, both were really tasty. When I fancy some gluten free sausages I will definitely be heading to Heck. They have a wide range of other flavours too, from Chicken Italia to French Black Pudding. If you fancy some (which you should) then they can be purchased at both Tesco and Ocado.com. Their website states, “We do damn good sausages!” … I must say, I’ve got to agree!

Secret Sausages was another big discovery for me at The Allergy and Free From Show. Rather than being big meaty sausages these are 100% veggie. Their motto? “Vegetables in Disguise”! Secret Sausages contain no meat, and three quarters of each one is simply fresh vegetables and rice. The rest is made up of the following; water – to make them succulent, herbs & spices to make them tasty, and some vitamin C to keep them fresh. On top of this Secret Sausages are gluten free, what could be better! It was very busy when I got to the stand and sadly the sausages were sold out, however I did get to try a sample of their rosemary and garlic sausage which was delicious. I have since looked on their website and found they do a wide range of different sausages from Honeybee (sweetcorn) to Chilli and Coriander. I definitely need to get my hands on some of these in the future! Currently the best place to find and buy Secret Sausages is on their own website http://www.secret-sausages.com/Buy.asp where you can find further details of the ingredients within each sausage. Secret Sausages are something different and fresh for us gluten intolerants who so often fail to find gluten free veggie sausages. Just writing this has made me hungry!

I have never tried any Fria products before. The most I know about then is that they are a Scandinavian Gluten Free brand! I didn’t even know what specific products they produced until The Allergy and Free From Show. However, the show told me all I need to know in the two samples I was fortunate enough to try out! I tried out two of their sweet products the Kanelbulle (cinnamon bun) and the Kladdkaka (a Swedish style chocolate brownie cake). Both were delightful, I really cannot remember the last time I had a cinnamon bun and so this was a real treat for me at The Allergy and Free From Show. I am a huge fan of cinnamon and the rich flavour that ran through the bun made it a joy to eat. Fria produce a huge range of other sweet products as well from Äppelmuffins (apple sauce and cinnamon filled muffins) to Slät bulle (a sweet cardamom flavoured bun) all of which I cannot wait to get my teeth into when I get the chance. Additionally Fria also produce a huge range of savoury products from breads to hot dog rolls which I would love to have the opportunity to try in the future. Fria products are sold in a wide range of different independent stores across the UK as well as at Goodness Direct. Click here to check if you can grab a cinnamon bun near you! From what I tasted you should definitely consider doing so.

Big shout outs go to the folk at Clives Pies, Byron Bay Cookies and the Yes You Can Bread, which tasted incredibly like regular bread and had a great texture. All three of these brands I can’t wait to try again in the near future. It is definitely a rarity to indulge in a pie as a gluten intolerant and Clive really does make epic ones! Thanks to The Allergy and Free From Show for another great year!

Thanks for reading,
