Hello Auckland! So excited to be here for the gluten free food festival. I’ve come up to help on the Coeliac New Zealand stand in my role as board member. Looking forward to helping give back to an organisation that does so much for the coeliac community. (Although if I was being totally honest…. Mostly I’m here for all the coeliac safe gluten free goodies). Come say hello!

What a day! I was on the 5.45am flight to Auckland to attend the Coeliac New Zealand AGM at Optimal Clinical Trials.I have just joined the board and am so excited to be part of this fantastic organisation advocating for those with coeliac disease. They do an incredible job and I can’t wait to support their mahi. Then back to Chch for the amazing performance in the Great Hall - thank you Mihirangi Wātihi, your music had me in tears.

Delicious gf morning tea at Te Matatiki Toi Ora to celebrate Coeliac Awareness Week. Thanks to for bringing awareness and supporting people with Coeliac Disease.

Coeliac Awareness Week!! Did you know? The theme is awareness in the workplace. Top tip from me? Keep the gluten morning tea on a seperate plate from the gluten free!! Better yet, put a wee label on the plate so I don’t have to ask if it’s gluten free…. Or even better, if it’s store bought, leave the packet beside the plate so I can look for myself!! Want to help? Consider donating to Coeliac New Zealand. They are great advocates for those of us with Coeliac disease.
