A Gluten Free Teddy Bear Picnic {Review & Giveaway}

Published on May 16, 2015 • Last updated July 23, 2017 by Elizabeth

In collaboration with Udi’s Gluten Free – full of taste, free of gluten.

Gluten Free Teddy Bear Picnic

As a family we are very fortunate in that none of us suffer from food sensitivities. I am free to cook whatever I please without having to take into consideration any dietary restrictions (although the eldest does claim a most severe aversion to mushrooms!).

Not all families are so lucky.

Food sensitivities, especially to gluten, are on the rise. The term “non-coeliac gluten sensitivity” is now being used to describe those who have neither coeliac disease nor wheat allergy, but appear to derive benefit from a gluten-free diet. According to Udi’s, coeliac disease affects nearly 1 in 100 people in Europe.

Udi’s Gluten Free are catering to this growing market. Udi’s are the #1 selling gluten-free brand in Canada and America, and in 2013 they branched out into the UK market. 47 of different products are currently available on UK supermarket shelves including Tesco, Asda, Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s.

Gluten-free products have come a long way. Having previously worked in the health food industry I’ve taste tested my fair share of them, and I admit, at the time, I was secretly thankful that I didn’t have a gluten sensitivity. The thought of living without decent bread… and cake… oh my!

Gluten free sandwich bread

Udi’s recently sent us an Afternoon Tea Hamper so we could try out some of their products (you’d never know that sandwich above is made with gluten free bread!). We waited for a sunny day, packed our picnic basket and headed to a nearby wooded area – Michaelswood – for a Gluten Free Teddy Bear Picnic.

Our picnic included jam and cheese sandwiches made with Udi’s Soft & Delicious White Sandwich Bread (crusts cut off, of course!) for the kids and ham and cheese salad sandwiches made with Udi’s Soft & Delicious Multiseed Bread for the grown-ups.

Gluten Free Picnic

I was really impressed at the flavour and texture of the multiseed bread. It tastes like proper bread! It’s not dry and crumbly like a lot of gluten-free breads tend to be, and the mixed sunflower, linseed and poppy seeds added some really lovely texture and flavour to the sandwiches. The kids scoffed their sandwiches too, in between mouthfuls of fresh strawberries.

For afters we made very short work of a box of Udi’s Gluten Free Lemon Flavoured Wafers. Packed with lemony flavour and with the same light, crispy texture we’ve grown to love in standard wafer biscuits the package didn’t last very long! These were incredibly moreish!

Next, time for an explore around Michaelswood!

Michaelswood is a small (but growing!) wildlife haven on the west side of Shetland. It is a community led project that works with schools, nurseries and other groups to help raise awareness of nature and the environment. Created by Ray, Betty and Alan Ferrie in memory of their son/brother Michael, this area features thousands of trees planted over the year (I believe Betty said recently that there are around 13,000, and counting!). It also features a Philosopher’s Trail, a Bird Hide, Frog Pond, the Moonbeams pirate ship, a Teddy Bear Picnic area, benches, a willow arch walkway and plenty of little nooks and crannies to explore.

Frog Pond at Michaelswood

PrimroseBird Hide at Michaelswood

Michaelswood

A meandering path will take you to the top of the hill, where a sign above a bench invites you to ‘ease your burden/load’ in Shetland dialect. The view from up here is spectacular.

Further down at the bottom of the hill near the entrance to the wood is the Moonbeams pirate ship, a favourite place for the children, and a great place to break out the gluten free cupcakes I’d made using the Udi’s Delicious & Fluffy Cake Mix. All you need to do is add butter, vanilla, eggs and milk to the cake mix and the resulting cakes are so light and fluffy you’d never know they were gluten free! They really are a very reasonable gluten free alternative (especially when topped with plenty of buttercream frosting and sprinkles!).

Gluten Free Cupcakes

All in all I was really impressed with the quality of the products in the Udi’s Gluten Free range that we were sent to try out. I tried the multiseed bread as eggy bread (French Toast for my overseas readers!) topped with maple syrup and strawberries and also toasted with almond butter and sliced bananas for breakfast – delicious!

EATING SMART APP BY WOMAN&HOME

While we’re on the topic of gluten free living, I thought I’d use this opportunity to tell you about the new free app Woman & Home, one of the UK’s top four glossy monthly magazines, have recently launched: Eating Smart, designed around Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegan recipes.

Eating Smart app from Woman&Home

Woman & Home editor Jennifer Bedloe says, “If you’re cooking for a free-from diet, or following one yourself, we understand you still want to enjoy the foods you love. Eating Smart, from woman&home, is the first free-from app where you can find easy, inspirational ideas for gluten free, dairy free and vegan diets. We’ve got fantastic midweek, entertaining, baking and dessert recipes to choose from. Download our free taster pack of recipes and see just how simple and tasty a free from diet can be.”

The free download includes six different recipes – two in each category, including a chocolate orange gluten free cake and a gluten free chicken and leek pie in the gluten free category. All six of the free recipes are beautifully photographed and do look very tempting, and for only 99 pence you can download an additional 20 mouthwatering recipes in each of the three categories.

All the recipes include handy tips & nutritional information and, as someone who calorie counts, this makes my life so much easier not having to work it out myself!

It is a rather inspiring recipe collection, well worth the 99p to download each bundle, I think. I will definitely be experimenting! You can download the free app here.

You can find out more about Udi’s Gluten Free by visiting their website, and more about Michaelswood on their Facebook page.

I also couldn’t write a gluten free post without mentioning Kate, The Gluten Free Alchemist – a fellow food blogger who regularly posts the most gorgeous gluten free recipes that she makes for her daughter, who suffers from coeliac disease. I would urge you to check out her mouthwatering blog even if you are not following a gluten free diet!

    Probably not a whole lot of use to the author of this blog, who lives at the other end of the country, but here’s a gluten-free tip for any readers located in London. I recommend a little café called Cookies and Scream in Camden Lock Market. They specialise in vegan gluten-free cakes and cookies. I’m not vegan or gluten-free, but I still go there regularly because the cakes are delicious.

Only problem he has is knowing what alcoholic spirits he can drink. Seems to be alright with some whisky and know Smirnoff vodka is a no go. Different sites seem to say different.

    My sister has coeliac disease and I have multiple allergies including wheat, so I’m used to trying to find alternatives to products that contain gluten. I always keep a supply of Doves Farm flours, as well as rice flour and gram (chickpea ) flour; it can take some experimentation to find which flour works best for individual recipes, but I’ve made tasty muffins, biscuits, soda bread, pancakes, batter for fish, coatings for homemade burgers, etc.

    Corn or rice pasta are fairly decent alternatives to wheat pasta, although I do find the texture different. Amoy rice noodles are good as part of a quick stir fry.

    Be aware that many surprising items, like soy sauce and salad dressing, can contain gluten. Also, if you have a nut allergy, be sure to check labels carefully in gluten free items. Many use nuts. I have one sister-in-law who has problems with wheat and dairy and another who has a nut allergy and can’t have gluten. So I’ve gotten quite good at checking labels and modifying recipes.

    My biggest thing is always try recipes where the results are fairly moist anyway and also don’t be scared of adding extra vanilla essence, flavourings or spices. I tend to experiment because too much liquid can make things claggy so my biggest tip is look for recipes with great reviews, try them out and make adjustments if necessary but at least if you are new to gf cooking you start with a good base!

    Make sure when you make cakes and pastries to add extra moisture to the mix eg. natural yoghurt, honey instead of, or as well as sugar or milk of some form. Gluten free flour can be very dry and without extra wetness added your cake will be crumbly and not cut normally.

I have done gluten free special fried rice using Tamari GF Sauce instead of Soy Sauce and all other ingredients which were naturally gluten free. Alternatively ordinary oven chips take on a new lease of life in the Actifry and become more like takeaway chips, throw in some GF Breaded Chicken and/or the new Tesco FF Battered Onion Rings and you can make a great family treat at home for everyone to enjoy.

    Not a tip as such, but having only realised I was gluten intolerant a few months ago, I recommend making sure you have some gluten free snacks in your hand bag for “emergencies”!

    Life. Is tricky in our family with one gluten intolerant, one member of the family can eat anything and everything & myself, well I’m gluten, sorbitol, fructans and mannitol intolerant as well as being vegetarian. This would be a great prize for our little family to share and please us all – one way or another!

    When buying soy sauce – tamari is gluten free but shoyu isn’t as it contains wheat.

    I’ve experimented a little with gluten free baking because my housemate is a coeliac so my best advice would be to simply not be afraid of baking with gluten free flours or recipes that don’t even use flours. Just give it a go with a little confidence and you’ll be surprised at the results. If the worst comes to the worst, the finished product won’t hold together and you’ll hvae to have it as a deconstructed dessert with custard!

    No one in my family is gluten intolerant so we’ve never had to worry about it, but I do know quite a few friends who are so always good for them to be able to turn to quality brands.

    I am Coeliac and follow a strict gluten free diet. I struggle to get gluten free takeaways. Ibulk cook family meals and freeze them. Then if I am too tired or busy to cook, we all get a quick healthy family meal.

    My mum is gluten free and has learned that she has to read the labels on everything. It’s not just wheat products that have to be avoided but others like barley that have to be omitted from your diet. Not sure if I’m allowed to mention product names but if anyone on a gluten free diet misses the taste of ‘real’ bread the Fria range is fabulous.

    He tends to stick to the same foods which can get boring for both of us so some of these products would bring a welcome change #countrykids
