A new year of new opportunities

2009 has drawn to a close and what a year it has been. Between the celebrations and scrumptious gluten free holiday food it is good to look back over the year just passed as well as ahead into the new year.

Gluten Free Land is now approximately a year old and I am very happy with the progress it has made. I especially wish to thank all of you who have registered your free account and even more so to those who have also written reviews or shared recipes. I personally have discovered some great foods and recipes thanks to you.

Looking ahead, however, there is loads planned for the site to make your life even easier! Just prior to Christmas, we started adding maps to cafes, restaurants, bakeries etc to help you find them more easily and plan to soon complete this and add a map of New Zealand with all of these on it so that you can find places to eat or purchase gluten free food based on where you are in New Zealand. We are also looking forward to enhancing the community aspect of Gluten Free Land and catering to those who in addition to gluten have to avoid other allergens such as dairy, soy or egg. There are many more ideas in the works too, however I'll leave some for another time.

We'd like to wish you a happy new year and hope that 2010 is your best year yet and that you don't get unexpectedly "glutened". As always, feedback and ideas for the website are most appreciated as well as your views, reviews & recipes so keep those coming.

All the best from the Gluten Free Land Team.

That time of year

It seems as though Christmas comes around faster every year and 2009 is no exception.

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas for tomorrow. Hopefully you were able to find or create plenty of gluten free goodies. I found all sorts of goodies at Gluten Free Bakeries, not to mention Gluten Free Candy Canes and also had success with my attempt at following this mince pie recipe.

There is loads more planned for Gluten Free Land in the new year -more on this next week.

Until then, Merry Christmas and season's greatings from Gluten Free Land!

The first Gluten Free Land Blog

I have finally finished the behind-the-scenes work to allow me to make blog posts on Gluten Free Land. So what exactly is the idea of this?

In a nutshell, I just wanted a more flexible medium through which to share a wide variety of information on a reasonably regular basis.

Whether it is Q&A with an experienced chef, the opportunity for you to win stuff or an upcoming gluten free show, it will be here on the Gluten Free Land blog. I will also, at my discretion, publish guest articles so get in touch if you are interested in this.

Until then, enjoy the rest of the site & keep those recipes and reviews coming! I have already discovered a number of great foods and places to eat thanks to site members and have some great recipes that I am looking forward to trying out.

Thanks,

Admin Rory
