The Hawkes Bay Region for Coeliac NZ are putting together a vendor food fair on Saturday 17th April, 12pm-4pm at Taradale Club, 55 Wharerangi Rd, Greenmeadows, Napier.
This is the first event of it’s kind in the region, and they are hoping for this to turn into an annual event. This is a free event to the public, so go along and sample or stock up on gluten free foods you are unable to source locally. For any further enquiries or if you would like to participate in the event, please phone 06 844 4589.

Endorsed by the Coeliac Society of Australia, this cookbook features over 50 recipes that are all gluten-free. Recipes range from apple and ricotta fritters to rice noodle cakes and egg, bacon and parmesan pies. At only $16.95 and available from bookstores and supermarkets, there are no more excuses for you to feel isolated by your particular food allergy.

Two weeks ago on the 5th and 6th July, Auckland held it’s first Gluten Free and Allergy Show. Nearly 7500 people attended the show and with a success like that under their belt, the show will be returning to Auckland next year on the weekend of the 4th and 5th July 2009.

Having just paid a visit to my local Countdown, I was happily surprised to find that they have recently made the decision to stock Woolworths Free From Products.

The Gluten Free Food and Allergy Show will be coming to New Zealand on 5-6 July 2008 at the ASB Showgrounds
