gluten free expo fare

Fellow Sydneysiders, it’s almost time to pull out your walking shoes and an extra-large shopping bag because the Gluten Free Expo is coming to town on the 6th and 7th of August.

It’s no secret that we at GFF absolutely adore a gluten-free shopping shindig. It gives us (and our wee ones) a chance to sample a staggering quantity of delicious sweetmeats and sniff out new products that might make our lives easier when they hit the shelves.

We also try to grab the chance to lobby manufacturers and distributors about what we would like to see in the future, and quizz them on the small print of their ingredient lists.

Homebush’s Sydney Olympic park will play host to the annual fest organised by the NSW Coeliac Society and organisers say the expo is not just about showcasing the latest gluten free fare.  It has also lined up a bunch of authors, medical professionals and chefs to conduct live demos and presentations.

Of particular interest to us will be medical researcher Dr Robert Anderson, who is the  leading the commercial development of the ‘coeliac vaccine’ and will be in attendance at the expo.

There will also be an on site gluten free café if you still happen to be hungry after ingesting your own bodyweight in sugary product samples.  But best of all is that entry to the show is free. So hope to see you there!

(Here’s a roundup of gluten free shows coming up in other Australian regions this year.)
