Plot twist: Macadamias aren’t just Australian – they’re ANCIENT Australian 🇦🇺🌰

They’ve been growing in the subtropical rainforests of northern NSW and south-east Queensland for more than 60 million years, which makes paying approximately $7000* a kilo for them feel marginally more reasonable 😂

So for Macadamia Nut Day on 4 September, it seems only appropriate to celebrate one of Australia’s tastiest originals with a little GFF macadamia appreciation.

And trust me, we’ve put them to VERY good use… 😍

🍌 Warm Banana Split
🍝 Rich Brisket Ragù
🐟 Macadamia-Crusted Fish Fillets
🌽 Sweet Corn & Macadamia Fritters
🤎 Bondi Beach Balls with Nutella
🥣 Buckwheat Granola

All gluten-free, naturally, and on the GFF website 😘(If you want the link sent to you directly, DM me or comment below.)

Which one are you making first?

*The $7000/kg figure may be a slight exaggeration, but have you SEEN the price of macadamias?! 😂

Caught up with mates at Empire Bar; I went for the cheese platter and stayed for the gluten-free pizza – THEN I discovered they prepare GF meals in a separate part of the kitchen 😁

A game of mini golf at Matagarup Mini Golf, Perth, then it was back to the room for one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Freaking LOVE a smashed patty of quality mince!

Plus, the fries were coeliac-safe (cooked in a separate fryer). The staff were very coeliac-aware when I called, clearly understood the importance of avoiding cross-contamination, and even left me a cute note on the delivery bag 🥰

Sometimes a burger and fries in a hotel room on a lazy arvo is exactly what you need. Agree?

🚨🍫 STOP EVERYTHING. MY CHILDHOOD FAVOURITE IS NOW GLUTEN-FREE!!! 🍫🚨

I JUST GOT SENT A GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE MUDCAKE FROM and I am NOT OKAY 😭😂

This cake was my absolute FAVOURITE as a kid. Every arvo I spent with my Nanna, I’d have a piece… and then wait until she wasn’t looking and sneak another two pieces 🤣🍰

Apparently adult me has now been given permission to relive my childhood – WITHOUT THE GLUTEN.

Excuse me while I go make up for approximately 12 years of lost mudcake consumption 🏃‍♀️💨🍫

Please tell me you’re as excited as I am!!

When you get glutened at breakfast and feel like absolute rubbish, but want to vacate the room so housekeeping can work their magic…

So you relocate to TWR Crown Perth and order the fanciest “my stomach hates me” meal you can think of:

🫖 Rose & French Vanilla tea
🫒 Warm olives

Proving that even a gluten-recovery meal can be ✨luxury✨

What’s your recovery ritual when you get glutened?

We made it to Rottnest Island 🏝️

The food at Isola Bar e Cibo blew us away – the menu has heaps of gluten-free options that are actually (yes, the fries were cooked in a separate fryer), the Skull Island prawns were so big and fresh, and the lamb was fall-apart 🤌🏼

The weather was divine, the water an unreal shade of blue, and we segwayed up to Bathurst Lighthouse for the view (grateful for the assist on that climb 😅). Huge thanks to Harriet from Segway Tours WA for the laughs along the way.

Then there were the quokkas; genuinely could have sat there watching them all day – they’re just as adorable as promised 😍 You won’t see them all over the island, but they’re in abundance near the eateries 😂

Missing the Coeliac Australia in Sydney this weekend (hello Perth 👋), so the amazing Rachel from Rocket Comms made sure I didn’t miss out entirely – a mini care package landed on my doorstep and be still my gluten-free heart.

Choc-fudge brownie mix, sourdough baps and a seriously good chickpea crunch mix 🤩 Can’t wait to hear how the Expo goes for everyone who’s there – hope there are heaps of freebies and deals for you all!

Baked hake, Padstow-style 🐟

This one’s straight from The Seafood Restaurant Cookbook by Rick and Jill Stein; a dish inspired by the legendary Sonia Stevenson, and one that’s stayed on the menu for 50 years for very good reason.

Lemon, bay, garlic, white wine – simple ingredients doing all the work. Plus wine-pairing notes from Charlie Stein and chef notes from Jack Stein, because the Steins clearly don’t do anything by halves.

🌟 New recipe now live (thanks, Richard Makin 🤤).

Pad kra pao is a super popular Thai stir fry, made traditionally with ground meat and lots of fresh holy basil. It’s spicy, aniseed-y and (most importantly) super quick and easy to make. I’m using crumbled tempeh, but you can use crumbled tofu or vegan mince instead, should you desire. The fastest way to crumble tempeh is to roughly grate it with a box grater, but you’ll get bigger, less uniform chunks if you pull it apart by hand.

For people living with coeliac disease, a strict gluten-free diet is currently the only accepted treatment.
Even with the best care, everyday situations can still require constant attention – from reading labels to eating out and navigating travel.

Research plays an important role in helping scientists better understand coeliac disease and explore potential future treatment approaches.

Evrima is currently supporting awareness of a Phase 2 clinical trial taking place in Australia. It is encouraging to see continued research focused on improving understanding of coeliac disease and supporting future progress for our community 🤍
