In 2011 the gluten-free beer Estrella Damm Daura won a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships, a Gold Medal at the International Beer Challenge and the World's Best Gluten-free Lager Award at the World Beer Awards.

The Booja-Booja Company is an independent manufacturer of delicious, organic, dairy-free confectionery. All their products are made by a small, dedicated team on one site in Norfolk but they are sold in delicatessens, health food shops, farm shops, fine food halls and gift shops throughout the UK and Europe. Everything Booja-Booja makes is organic as well as being dairy and gluten free.
Bianca Marton started out by making lovely traditional truffles with double cream but because her brother is dairy intolerant she began to experiment with dairy-free options. After spending a lot of time and effort Bianca created dairy free truffles that are just like traditional cream truffles: velvety smooth as they melt in your mouth - and bursting with taste. We put Bianca's truffles to the taste test to see how they compare.

After Inked® is billed as a 'tattoo moisturiser and aftercare lotion' that could possibly only come to the attention of a select group of people who already have - or are getting a new tattoo. But it is obvious that a lot of care and attention has gone into making this product - and since it is gluten free we think it is good enough to share! Having been made from food grade ingredients means it could actually be good enough to eat - but for now we are going to play it safe and stick to trying it as a moisturiser.
