London adventures and the Foodies Festival

I absolutely love London and would love to live there in the future. But for now, even a quick weekend in London pretending I do was amazing.

I had the most amazing time, fitting in as many things as possible, from joining some fellow foodies at the Foodies Festival to another visit to my favourite bakery. Even getting into London 2 hours late didn't take any of my plans off the list.


Friday: Beyond Bread rolls are now sold in packets in Whole Foods!! What an amazing find! This is some of the best gluten free bread I have had, being able to buy in bulk to bring them back to Leeds was a great surprise.  


Saturday: I may have met Candice and the Charlotte White...  yes, Candice followed another recipe and made some Christmas cookies but, look at Charlotte's dress - this photo doesn't do it justice. How else can you stand out next to a bake of winner. Watching them bake inspired me to design some lovely naturally GF treats - recipes to come.


We watched the amazing Jane Devonshire from Master Chef make this beauty. While she was cooking, she explained that most of her recipes are naturally gluten free because her son is coeliac. She is currently making a book full of her everyday gluten free recipes, definitely one to look out for! 


I also met the lovely people from Nomad Health again. Go and try some of their pastas, they are amazing and a great change to corn or rice pasta. They also supply all the the weird and wonderful flours I use in my recipes. Marianna, the director did a master class in making gluten free churros using the Free From Fairy flour and they were so moorish!! I was given this bag of flour for free and I will definitely be using it soon, so I will tell you how it goes.


Sunday: After seeing Ruby's of London doughnuts on Instagram every week, I had to taste one for myself - it really was worth the wait. I will be back soon!


Finally, I had to take a trip to Beyond Bread. After a special order brownie and a marvelous mushroom toasty I made my way back to Leeds ready for my Monday 9am.


Here's all my haul from the weekend, what was left by the time I got home that is. 

What are your favourite GF spots in London?

Love, Hattie x
