So hopefully you have already seem my Top NEW Discoveries post from The Allergy and Free From Show North 2014, if not then click here to view it.
However whilst I made many new discoveries, it was great to see some familiar free from faces at the show. Here are some of my highlights; I definitely encourage you to check as many of these guys out as you can. The Free From market is constantly expanding so it will be interesting to see how all these brands react to this… hopefully with more delicious products we can all enjoy!
Amy’s Kitchen Crew having fun!
Amy’s Kitchen – As always put on a great show with plenty of free samples to go round. The Breakfast Sandwich, which we recently reviewed, seemed to be a big hit. I am also a massive Chunky Tomato Soup Fan. Check Amy’s Kitchen out at: http://www.amyskitchen.co.uk
Bfree – Now you all know my love for Bfree Wraps & it was great to see the Bfree Chefs out in force providing us all with tasty Fajita samples! Grabbed a packet of Multi Seeded Bagels as well which I can’t wait to try. Check Bfree out at: http://www.bfreefoods.com
Delicious Alchemy – A slightly less familiar brand to me, nevertheless, equally as tasty! I tried out some of their brownie and sponge cake samples and was very impressed. I can’t wait to try out their cake mixes at home. Check Delicious Alchemy at: http://www.deliciousalchemy.co.uk
DREAM Non Dairy – With Mark’s dairy intolerance, we never turn down trying out dairy free ice cream! They had a more varied choice of flavours from Praline Crunch and Salted Caramel to my favourite Mint Choc Chip. Check DREAM Non Dairy at: http://www.mydairyfreedream.com
DS – DS stood proudly in front of us as soon as we arrived at The Allergy and Free From Show North and provided me with some delicious pizza and quiche samples. I would highly recommend both, a perfect start to the show. Check DS out at: http://www.dsglutenfree.com
Genius – We all know Genius for their breads but I’ve always been a greater fan of their crumpets and more recently their cupcakes! Excitingly, Genius is now expanding their gluten free pies range too. Apple? Yes please! Check Genius out at: http://www.geniusglutenfree.com/en_GB
Glamour Puds – One of my all time favourite discoveries from Allergy Shows gone by. I love them. I absolutely love their Bakewell Tart, which I hope comes on sale to the public soon, it is seriously delicious! All Glamour Puds are glamourously scrummy; you’ve got to try them all.

Kirsty’s – Kirsty’s showed off a couple of new dishes at The Allergy and Free From Show North. I came away with some Chilli Chicken Noodles, which we indulged in last night as part of a homemade Chinese ‘Takeaway’ and they really finished the meal off perfectly. Kirsty’s has such a great choice of different meals to choose from. Check Kirsty’s out at: http://www.kirstys.co.uk
Newburn Bakehouse – Always reliable to give us some tasty breads; however, meeting Howard Middleton from The Great British Bake Off at their stand was the best thing today for sure! Check Newburn Bakehouse out at: http://www.newburnbakehouse.com
Me & Howard from last years Great British Bake Off at the Newburn Bakehouse Stand!
Perkier – I have always loved Perkier’s branding so much but not even their branding competes with how delicious their Tiffin and Rocky Road Bars are. Never leave your Perkier Tiffin alone for too long or be prepared to lose it! Check Perkier out at: http://www.perkier.co.uk
Sainsbury’s – Sainsburys brought along a huge amount of free samples of my absolute favourite free from item they have created more recently. I think Mark and myself ate more than a few Free From Pecan Pies in sample form. Check Sainburys out at: http://www.sainsburys-live-well-for-less.co.uk/recipes-inspiration/healthier-eating/healthier-diets/allergies-and-intolerances/sainsbury’s-freefrom-range/
Tesco – Tesco’s free from stand was a very busy affair and full of older classics such as the White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies but their was also space to try the new Party Selection Range. I have to say I was pretty impressed… I could devour a few more of their Chicken Goujons and Thai Fish Cakes! Check Tescos Free From out at: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/zones/default.aspx?name=freefrom
Udis – Mark and myself have been a big fan of Udis Dairy and Gluten Free ‘Oreos’ for a while now. I also tried the Gluten Free Toffee Muffins – very nice! We have an American Style Pancake Mix we are going to be trying out soon so watch out for that. Check Udis out at: http://udisglutenfree.co.uk
Venice Bakery UK – Ending on a massive positive note with Venice Bakery! We came away with a good few pizza bases from here. All gluten and dairy free of course. Samples were delicious on the day for me, it was a shame they were using DAIRY cheese on the samples though. At past shows they have used dairy free cheese. Nevertheless, homemade pizza is on the cards this week now! Check Venice Bakery UK out at: http://shop.venicebakery.co.uk
So there you have it, my highlights from The The Allergy and Free From Show North 2014. I had such a great time and cannot wait to return to the London and Liverpool Shows in 2015. Hope you can join me!
Thanks for reading,
