Let's just say we are a family who love to eat! And eat well we do!

We just happen to have a family member with Coeliac Disease who requires a strict gluten free diet.

As an Australian family, we were spoilt for choice with gluten free products back home.
Having lived in Singapore since 2008, we have had to relearn how to do some of things that we had become pretty good at such as:
- how to read Singaporean food labels
- where the best places are to shop for gluten free products
- how to eat out local style in Singapore hawker centres and restaurants alike.

We hope this blog will provide assistance to others living gluten free, regardless of whether you are a visitor or a local. In particular, we hope it helps families with children who have to navigate through other challenges: school lunchboxes, canteen, playdates, parties and events at school.
