New specialist eating out guide listing restaurants and cafes that cater for gluten-free and wheat-free across the UK

We’re a new specialist eating out guide listing restaurants and cafes that cater for gluten-free and wheat-free across the UK! We also cover eating out nut-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, vegan and a lot more so check out www.LeaveItOut.co.uk for what we’ve got.
The website has just been launched, and we’d love your help as we start out. We invite you to rate and review places across the UK (you’ll need a postcode to search), and get in touch with new listings if we haven’t already got your favourite restaurant on there. Just one review will make all the difference as we start to build this resource for gluten-free foodies. We know the site isn’t perfect, but we’re improving it all the time and it would be great to have your comments and views on what would make it better. 
January competitions – only a few days left!
To encourage you to get involved, we’re running a couple of competitions in January.

PAMELA’S PRODUCTS HELPS GROUPS CELEBRATE PANCAKE TUESDAY WITH PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ORGANIZATIONS AND PARISHES CAN REQUEST PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ONLINE

PAMELA’S PRODUCTS HELPS GROUPS CELEBRATE PANCAKE TUESDAY WITH PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ORGANIZATIONS AND PARISHES CAN REQUEST PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ONLINE

Ukiah, CA (January, 2010) – Pamela’s Products, an award-winning leader in the gluten-free foods arena, celebrates Pancake Tuesday with pancake mix donations to community groups, church parishes and firehouses. While events built around the allure of pancakes have become a more frequent addition to most community calendars, Pancake Tuesday, taking place on February 16, 2010, is considered one of the largest nation-wide pancake events.

With church parishes and community centers either preparing for Lent or simply celebrating an old Irish tradition, Pancake Tuesday is a day to bring together friends and strangers to share a meal. While, being a gluten-intolerant parishioner or community member can be an isolating experience, more organizations and parishes are taking steps to ensure that their shared meals are more inclusive and adhere to the dietary needs of all their members.

 Pamela’s Products has been donating their pancake mix for community pancake events year-round since their earliest days 22 years ago. They have increasingly been asked to donate more, as the preferred choice, many times in place of the traditional wheat based pancake mixes. Parishes and organizations can simply contact Pamela’s Products by logging onto to their website at http://www.pamelasproducts.com to arrange donations and they will send their gluten-free pancake mix to your event.

Pamela’s Products Baking & Pancake Mix accommodates the dietary needs of parishioners and members of the community who have to or choose to follow a gluten-free diet, and the pancakes are also delicious, light and fluffy. Versatile and easy-to-use, Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix is a top seller nation-wide and considered a staple by those who lead a gluten-free lifestyle. As stated Stephanie Robbins, Marketing Director for Pamela’s Products, “We’ve had several parishes call us initially for a small order of pancake mix to accommodate the gluten-intolerant members of the community. But, as years passed, the orders for our pancake mix got bigger and bigger because ALL the members–gluten-free and the rest–simply preferred the taste of our pancakes over the wheat option. We’ve done several pancake events that only feature our pancakes because the community just likes our product and not because it is gluten-free.”

Organizations hosting a Pancake Tuesday or other pancake event can contact Pamela’s Products through their website at http://www.pamelasproducts.com to arrange details. Pamela’s Products are a trustworthy staple for those on a gluten-free diet including Celiacs. Celiac Disease is the world’s most common autoimmune disease, with the only treatment today being a strict adherence to a diet devoid of gluten. Gluten is most commonly contained in wheat (durum, semolina, kamut, spelt), rye, barley and triticale. (For more complete information, please visit http://www.gluten.net, “About”.) People with autism spectrum disorders, cancer, wheat allergies, alternative diets, and even those adhering to a Kosher or ‘natural’ diet, also frequently turn to Pamela’s Products for satisfying that sweet tooth or simply for making bread or pancakes.

Gluten Free Bakery in Toronto

Wild Earth Cafe and Bakery opened in the very historic Toronto Beach neighbourhood in the summer of 2009. Husband and wife team, Brad and Nicole Owens, recognized a real need for a bakery that specialized in providing yummy baked goods for those with dietary restrictions. Brad has had a gluten intolerance for some time and always found it difficult to find places that he could enjoy a good meal or a snack without running the risk of severe abdominal pain. Over the years, Nicole developed a number of recipes ranging from sweets (cookies and squares) to nutritious breads that were 100% gluten-free but also tasted great. Both Nicole and Brad worked got tired of the corporate world and decided to make their dream of owning a gluten-free cafe a reality.

In addition to having a very wide range of gluten-free items, the bakery also offers many Vegan choices as well. Work is currently underway to develop a full line of sugar-free items. The first such item is a gluten-free, vegan and sugar free lemon tart that is made with Agave and Xylitol (a sugar substitute that is 100% natural and is derived from Birch trees). The bakery is also 100% nut-free so those with anaphylactic allergies are safe!

Wild Earth Cafe and bakery is open 7 days a week and is located at 2142 Queen Street East in Toronto. The TTC stops at the door and there is ample street parking. The cafe is very “Mom Friendly” and has change tables and high chairs and is also wheelchair and stroller accessible. Readers of Aunt Jayne’s blog are welcome to try a free cookie simply by mentioning that they are readers of the blog. One per customer please.
