Gluten-Free Tesco Sandwich Review

During my holiday abroad to London back in February, I soaked in every sight and sound of the city, as it was my first trip abroad. While the historic buildings, incredible museums, and London’s general buzz were memorable, a large part of how I explored and experienced the city was through the variety of foods and dining experiences I had, spanning humble fast-casual fare to a lavish, unforgettable high tea.  Of […]

Flower Child Review

One thing I love about living in Washington, DC  is that our fast casual dining scene is always expanding. With each new restaurant that comes to the city, the bar is set ever higher for  culinary creativity at an accessible price point.  I was thrilled when I heard the health-conscious chain Flower Child would open in Foggy Bottom in February, but didn’t have a chance to stop by until now, […]

Hotel Chocolat Free From Chocolate Review

While on holiday in London back in February, I couldn’t help but notice Hotel Chocolat stores almost everywhere I went. This British chocolatier and cocoa grower is the only company in the UK that grows cocoa on its own plantation, and it’s stores are filled with a myriad of fun and tempting treats.  Unfortunately, most of the chocolate creations made by Hotel Chocolat have a warning that they may contain wheat so they […]

ROLLN Review

After all these years of being gluten-free, it still amazes me when I discover new restaurants where I can (safely) experience a cuisine for the first. Such is the case with ROLLN, a New York City sushi restaurant that recently made the bold and brave decision to go completely gluten-free.   Other than a few one-off occasions of trying sushi (I’m looking at you Wegmans), I have largely avoided seeking […]

Chaia Tacos Review

Now that I’ve finally caught up with my London reviews (with a few more yet to come), I was excited to turn my sights back stateside and resume exploring gluten-free eats in my own backyard.  Whenever anyone asks me about where to eat out in Washington DC, Chaia Tacos is more often than not my first recommendation. With an entirely gluten-free menu and innovative take on vegetarian tacos that is […]

Gluten-Free Afternoon Tea at Claridge's Review

I’m not entirely sure whether being gluten-free has made me a foodie (by being hyperaware of what I eat), or if I was a foodie who developed a gluten-intolerance. Either way, if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that food is a central part of how I explore and experience the world.  In fact, when building my London itinerary, I made sure to prioritize not only the sights I wanted to […]
