One of my favourite kind of magazines are of the food variety…
Over the long Easter weekend I settled down on the sofa with a mug of tea, buttered hot cross bun and the latest member of the Woman and Home family. The new Eating Smart magazine is aimed at those who have specific dietary requirements such a gluten and dairy free. It’s jam-packed of drool worthy recipes that are suitable with people with intolerances. Also, if you are stuck for ideas for dinner guests that suffer from a food intolerance then this particular magazine would be a great place to start for some much-needed inspiration.
Nearly 20% of the population suffer with a food intolerance, therefore certain foods are out-of-bounds, which can make meal preparation and eating very difficult. Eating Smart has been released to help such individuals get creative in the kitchen without any restrictions involved when it comes to taste. Why should food allergy suffers have to endure bland food? The magazine boasts a plethora of recipe ideas that can be taken from the fridge to the table in 30 minutes:
Not only is it full of lots of yummy recipes, but there are also some educational articles about different food allergies and general healthy related pieces too. I think articles like this are great for informing others who do not suffer with a particular allergy to allow them to be more sympathetic in their cooking to others that do. Also, it gives a sufferer another resource to gain a better understanding of their food allergy.
Seriously, the recipes featured in this magazine look fabulous…anyone for Gluten Free Double Chocolate Cheesecake? As someone who likes experimenting with different ingredients to create recipes for my wonderful readers with food intolerances I found Eat Smart very helpful and full of inspiration. The spring edition of the magazine is out now and costs £3.99 and can be picked up at your local news agents and supermarkets.
If you would like to show Woman and Home some love you can follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
Do you suffer from a food intolerance? How do you find cooking and eating with your food tolerance in mind?
If you don’t have a food intolerance do you find it difficult catering for others who do?

I am a Coeliac and it makes everything so difficult when buying food or eating out. Thins have gotten better over the past few years though and much more food is available, making tasty food more achievable!
I try to avoid milk and cream and have soya milk.
Woman and Home has some great recipes, I have bought it in the past.
Great post. I don’t suffer from any food intolerances, although I do have probable IBS, which means I need to watch what triggers it (for me it’s mostly Sugar, which unfortuntely I have a very hard time not eating too much of due to “food addiction” if that makes sense). Does Women and Home offer electronic subscriptions or downloads? I ask because I’m blind so can’t read print magazines. Besides, I’m in the Netherlands so delivery would be a hassle.
I would like to buy this mag, am not fussy about food but my healthy food habits are disturbing i can do days without water which is really bad. I love food to answer your question and I am happy to try new recipes.
This looks like a good read Jemma, I’m always on the lookout for new recipes and idea especially without dairy/wheat as I’m allergic.
I think this magazine is such a great idea if you have an allergy. Lots of nice recipe ideas!
I have a gluten intolerance which can be a nightmare when your out and about so I cook mostly at home so I know exactly whats going i to my food. I am quite good know though that when I am out I know what to choose to eat or I’ll have some snacks in my bag ready for when hunger strikes!
I love heuvos rancheros – one of my favourite meals 🙂
Must pick up that magazine, looks like there are some great recipes! I’m always buying recipe books/magazines for my husband to cook for me!
I don’t have any intolerances luckily, but one of my current year 11 students has a dairy intolerance. I usually have a mini party with my GCSE classes after exams are over and this always involves food. I’m struggling to come up with ideas of items I can make/buy for the party that are dairy intolerant friendly at the moment…
I don’t have intolerances, although some dried fruit gives me tummy ache (due to the preservative used I think)- but being vegetarian can make eating out hard as not all places accurately label their meals.
