    Celiac.com 05/27/2017 - The folks in Norwich, England know a thing or two about fish and chips. So does Lucy's Chips, which has operated a popular stall on Norwich market for the last 40 years.

    So, many people were likely surprised to see Lucy's suddenly double in size. And likely even more were surprised to see Lucy's offer a gluten-free version of their popular fish and chips, each prepared in separate areas.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    But Lucy's Chips stall is now under new management, which has driven both the expansion, and the introduction of a new menu to to broaden the appeal of their already popular staples.

    Lucy's had already begun frying its chips in vegetable oil to appeal to vegetarians, and their new menu now boasts a range gluten-free items, including gluten-free versions of unusual products, including battered halloumi, toad in the hole and calamari.

    Barclay Gray, 50, from Sprowston, who runs the stall, said: "Before we were just chips and sausages but…we now have loads of different items available at the stall…to cater to vegetarians and gluten intolerant people.

    Mr Gray explained that the recent expansion means that he can fry his fish and gluten-free products separately.

    Even though Lucy's is under new management, says Mr. Gray, "It has been kept in the family. We're just carrying on and improving where we can."

    Both Mr, Gray and his customers seem pleased with the changes. "The reaction has been very good. Customers have said that the stall looks lovely, they're so pleased that they can now get gluten free fish and chips."

    If you find yourself in Norwich, and get the urge for some tasty gluten-free fish and chips, be sure to look for Lucy's at the Norwich market. If you do, be sure to send us a note about your experience.

    There is a little fish & chips shop on the SW corner of King St. and Townline Rd. in Oshawa, ON in Canada called "Schooners" that has been certified for gluten free fish & chips as well as many other items you would find at any other chip shop, and they are so good you will not say a word until every crumb is gone! I was raised in a fish & chip shop as a child and teenager and had not had this staple food for over 15 years until I saw this small sign on the side of the road by the Plaza where this shop is. There are people who drive up to 2 hours or more for this wonderful plateful of "home!"

    English-style fish and chips are one of my all-time favorites. One of the dishes I've missed the most ever since going gluten-free. I've been discovering new uses for Rice Chex as a gluten-free breading, and this recipe for gluten-free fish and chips is one of the results. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
    Ingredients:
    1½ quarts vegetable oil, for frying
    2 pounds halibut or firm white fish, cut in  portions
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    ½ cup potato starch
    ½ cup tapioca flour
    1 cup rice flour
    2 cups crushed Rice Chex
    1 quart egg wash (equal parts whole eggs and milk, mixed well)
    6 lemons halves, for serving
    Directions:
    Heat the oil in to 375 degrees F. in a Dutch oven or deep frying pot.
    Rinse fish and dab dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the...

    Celiac.com 04/15/2016 - Among the winners in the eighth annual British Pie Awards in Melton Mowbray, The Rutland Pie Company, based in Pillings Road, Oakham, was highly commended in the dessert pie class.
    Rutland's head pie maker Ian Curtis also won a gold award for his steak, ale and mushroom pie; silver for a cold chicken, ham and leek pie, and bronze for his gluten-free steak, ale and mushroom pie.
    Curtis said: "This is only our first proper year of trading so to be recognized at the British Pie Awards is fantastic - I'm really proud. I was particularly pleased my gluten-free pie was recognized. It took a lot of effort to get the recipe right - using a mix of rice, tapioca and potato flours. It's great that local pie makers are getting the recognition they deserve."

    Celiac.com 08/11/2016 - In many ways, millennials are the special diet generation. To drive that point home, a new survey shows that a full one in five 18-34 year olds now have a food intolerance. That means 20% of millennials must either avoid certain foods, and/or eat special dietary foods to be healthy.
    So, while one in three consumers are actively avoiding gluten right now, that number rises to 40% with millennials.
    With the gluten-free market now worth GBP 210m, the Swedish bakers are calling upon chefs, caterers and operators to take a second look at their offerings. Andrew Ely, managing director at gluten-free cake maker Almondy, says that an in-house company survey confirms that more and more consumers are avoiding gluten, with three quarters of people having bought a gluten...
