Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Since starting my blog, I’ve had encounters with many different dialects of ethnic food; Turkish, Tibetan, and Salvadorian are all cuisines I’ve acquainted myself with. While I have eaten cuisines from around the globe, I have never made it out to an Indian restaurant. Although I have dabbled in Indian flavors at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Sanaa, I really wanted to go to an more traditional Indian restaurant to get an […]
Right off the bat, I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of granola. My breakfast usually consists of cereal, bagels, or simply fruit and nut butter. However, a recent trip to the Lake Eola Farmer’s Market changed my mind, as I discovered a vendor I had not seen before: Nutty Crunch. Offering gluten-free, grain-free, paleo granola, I was drawn in by the prospect of a healthy paleo […]
It’s really hard not to like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. After all, with cute flavor names, a socially conscious philosophy, and commitment to making really delicious desserts, it’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite ice cream purveyors. Recently, Ben and Jerry’s announced that they are working on dairy-free ice cream flavors made with coconut and/or almondmilk. Unfortunately, this review is not covering those yet-to-be released creations. Instead, this […]
Because of my dairy-free constraint, my courses came out in a different order than the menu shows. Because the risotto cakes were not dairy-free, Chef Bob brought out my salad course first to allow for a custom dairy-free risotto to be freshly cooked once I got there. Those who read my blog know that I’m usually not a big salad fan, but I must give Chef Bob full credit for crafting […]
Recently, I’ve fallen head over heels for falafels in a big way. First tasting this Middle Eastern delicacy in Annapolis this Spring, I’ve since become a huge fan of this naturally gluten-free dish. While checking out the Winter Park Whole Foods Market, I stopped by the prepared foods case and found a goldmine of gluten and dairy-free friendly foods from Aramouni’s by Nature’s Healthy Gourmet. This Port St. Lucie company […]
When you think of Italy’s finest exports, most of them are not gluten or dairy-free: pasta, artisan cheeses, and other delicacies. Luckily, Orlando’s newest import- Vivoli Gerlateria- is different because it is an equal opportunity business, offering plenty of dairy-free and dairy-filled offerings to please one and all. What’s really neat about this gelati emporium is that it’s sister store is a beloved time-tested family-run gelato parlour in Florence, Italy. That’s right, there’s […]
Working two internships this summer, I haven’t has a much time as I’d like to explore in and around Orlando. Throw in record-breaking temps, higher than high humidity, and the usual unpredictability of Floridian weather, and it’s clear why my adventures have been few and far between. Waiting for a free weekend to get out and simply enjoy a day on the town, I knew that I wanted to explore […]
If the soup is uninspired, my entree would be described as the polar opposite. I went with the wood grilled salmon with a side of Italian green beans. The salmon, made without the grill baste, came topped with a tomato basil vinaigrette that was downright tantalizing. Made with flavorful tomato, aromatic basil, and deliciously distinctive balsamic vinegar. The fish itself was cooked perfectly, easily sliced by a fork. The green beans, cooked with olive oil, featured […]
Ever since discovering the magic of falafels while exploring Annapolis this spring, I’ve been wanting to get another taste of the Middle Eastern delicacy. Luckily, I stumbled across Hubbly Bubbly, a College Park installation while going out for lunch with a friend recently, and the location proved to be the perfect meet-up point. What’s so cool about Hubbly Bubbly, is that this little restaurant serves up seriously good food that […]
Although I’ve taste tested my way around many Asian cuisines here on the blog, I have not yet made it to the world of sushi, mostly for my dislike of raw fish and difficulty of finding safe places to give the cuisine a go. Luckily, a previous engagement near UCF proved to be the perfect opportunity for me to try out Sus Hi Eatstation, a funky sushi place that serves up food […]
