Introduction

So... the idea for this came up the other day. I'd been looking for a restaurant in London (where I live) to take my girlfriend to (she's a coeliac- i.e. she is allergic to gluten which is found in wheat).

It's pretty tricky taking a coeliac out to dinner- lots of places aren't really aware of whether their dishes are gluten-free or not, and it can be a lot of hassle trying to coax information out of waiters etc.

However, London being the amazing city it is, there are lots of places where they do know whether they've got gluten in their dishes. Chain restaurants which are ok include La Tasca and Nandos (or so I'm told). I'm a bit of a food snob though, and having to eat all my meals out at one of these places fills me with horror.

The good news is- the better the restaurant, the more likely they are to know what's in their food.

The idea then- is to keep a blog, detailing all the restaurants that we visit so that other coeliacs (and more importantly- coeliac other halves) can learn about some of the great restaurants they can visit in London.
