Wheat & gluten free Christmas
It's Christmas, the festive season. Traditionally a time for mince pies, christmas pudding, turkey, stuffing and christmas cake. But what about a wheat free or gluten free Christmas? Do you have to miss out because you have a wheat allergy or intolerance, or are a coeliac?
No. Everything for a traditional Christmas lunch can be reproduced in a wheat or gluten free version. Nobody needs to miss out, and nobody will know the difference (if you don't tell them).
