Stocked on stems and stalks

Stumbled upon a wonderful little nursery and organic food shop in New Cross Gate called Dig Thie Nursery. They offer a wonderful selection of seeds and seedlings, big on variety if small in numbers. They stock assorted flavours of 9bars (a great seed bar that is my go-to snack on the run) and some gluten-free products I hadn't seen elsewhere. Doves Farm Stem Ginger biscuits were acquired alongside parsley and Greek basil plants. Fresh produce, assorted food cupboard essentials and a wonderul cactus named George (who was not for sale) make this a great stop for anyone who commutes via New Cross Gate, whih I admittedly do not bit I will happily make the trip to visit again.

Tesco have been upping their game in the Free From aisle and have added quite a few more flours to the mix; something I pounced on when taking advantage of their latest 4 for 3 offer on free-from items, ongoing until August 24th. The variety truly allows for a wonderful amount of flexibility and creativity in the kitchen. Udi's have really grabbed hold of the gluten-free market and seem to be overtaking Dietary Specials in quantifiable shelf space though the DS Ciabatta Rolls still get my vote for the ideal burger bun.

I am now well equipped to tackle the next ambitious (perhaps overly so) project: homemade gluten-free bagels.

Starting lineup: Udi's, Doves Farm and 9bar
