Lemon meringue pie has always had a strange magnetic pull on me.
When I heard that it was one of the specialties of the house at gluten free bakery, Healthy Feast in Sydney’s Leichardt, a visit was inevitable.
So last weekend I strapped the bicycles to the back of the car – the plan was to have a gluten free picnic in the park followed by some hardcore pedalling – and off we went.
You can see what we bought in the picture. The lamingtons and lemon meringue pies were amazing. The former tasted just like the gluten-based variety and the latter even better.
The meat pies were also very yummy and crumbly and the coffee was pretty good too!
They sell a few different loaves of bread – and I was happy that one of these was a dairy free loaf. This proved to be tasty and although it was firm, it sliced really nicely and softened up well in the microwave. It is probably more of a toast than a sandwich loaf.
For those that need to watch their soy-based ingredients, apparently they only use soy flour in the chocolate brownies and some soy milk in some bread products.
We didn’t get to try everything you can see here in the window. I guess that means we’ll have to get back and visit again soon!

Thanks for this info!
I will certainly have to stop by. Lemon Meringue Pie has always been my favourite as well. Such a challenge to find gluten free 
Hi, I too am a devotee of Healthy Feast. In addition to their shop at Leichardt, they also attended numerous markets around Sydney, including Hornsby and Castle Hill. Unfortunately they have recently closed their shop and are no longer at the markets. They have disappeared without a trace and I for one am devestated at the loss. I would be interested to know whether anyone has any information as to what has happened to the glorious gluten free producer.
Goodness – we hadn’t heard! Will put our ears to the ground. . .
I personally know Kim, the owner, and they have been actually been having difficulties with their kitchens. Their production was having to be so big that they had to move kitchens, but in the move there was chaos, and a bit of other parties not pulling their weight. I spoke to her the other day, haven’t since though. I will keep everyone updated though!
Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop.
Thanks Matthew, I would love to find out whether they will begin production again and if so whether they will be back at their market locations.
