It seems such a long way from the Melbourne suburbs, but for us, it was about a 50 minute drive, mostly along the M1 Monash Freeway.</p><div>Robert Gordon has been making world class pottery since 1945 and makes some of their range right here in Victoria. The outlet has a very large selection of pottery on display and they also hold pottery classes.</div><div>Read more on their site: <a href="https://www.robertgordonaustralia.com/" target="_blank">https://www.robertgordonaustralia.com/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>We knew that the outlet has a cafe but knew little about it.</div><div>We were expecting pottery but not vegan, gluten & dairy free food! </div><div>How wrong we were!</div><div><br /></div><div>The outlet cafe is called “<b>Nancy</b>” and has both inside and outside tables.</div><div><span style="color: #4d4332;">“Nancy” is the sister cafe to “<b>Lorna</b>” in Ferntree Gully and “<b>Maria</b>” in Upwey. Each cafe is named after one of the owners grandmothers; Nancy was Josh's nana, an accomplished Tasmanian cook who also happened to be a potter. The sister cafes also have vegan and gluten free options on their menus.</span></div><div><span style="color: #4d4332;"><span data-markholder="true"></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>When planning your trip to Robert Gordon, you must do the following:</div><ol><li>Book a table at “<b>Nancy</b>”. We didn’t but were very lucky as we were able to peruse the pottery while we waited for one to become available.</li><li>Before you sit down, visit the cake display, where we found some beautiful looking cakes including some vegan & gluten free options, as these are not shown on the menu.</li></ol><div><br /></div><div>We were very surprised to find many suitable brunch options for us on the menu.</div><div>I had a tofu scramble on some very nice gluten & dairy free bread, avocado and some of the home made hash brown.</div><div><br /></div><div>The rest of the family shared a platter ( designed for Valentines Day) that had eggs your way on toast; mushrooms, Korean Fried Chicken Bao buns; arancini balls and chocolate waffles. Easily fed two, but not all gluten free.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7z-RhoKIRdB3iK7S-WzNCdJ9sIutGOk-S13Hfpm_-IzBOyKaM-afBOHGfTHxMTuJXM9bbVbHEswQgnDuVDKN_dxUn3hGLm2Q-Vla5z89k71Z6ccRudUqdpBMQmtyxba4sLSD5y_a3ehk523bcWWv4Bw5pj49HssqOyQbWNxvpjyf0AVHb9tUkHaSfQ/s4032/IMG_8103.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7z-RhoKIRdB3iK7S-WzNCdJ9sIutGOk-S13Hfpm_-IzBOyKaM-afBOHGfTHxMTuJXM9bbVbHEswQgnDuVDKN_dxUn3hGLm2Q-Vla5z89k71Z6ccRudUqdpBMQmtyxba4sLSD5y_a3ehk523bcWWv4Bw5pj49HssqOyQbWNxvpjyf0AVHb9tUkHaSfQ/w400-h300/IMG_8103.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Share Platter</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We couldn’t fit in cake during the visit, but took a piece of the vegan & GF pistachio cake home for later.</div><div>It looks very dense but was surprisingly light with an extravagant berry cream icing.

</tbody></table>
Nearly everyone likes a cooked breakfast occasionally. And it can be really good, even if you cook it yourself, at home, and you can be confident about everything on the plate.<br />
<br />
Here is a breakfast that I made recently. There is no dairy or gluten involved.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Grilled tomatoes.</h4>
The little truss tomatoes work well but otherwise, cut larger tomatoes in half. Place in a small frypan on low to medium heat. (They can burn easily). Drizzle with oil. Salt & pepper and a sprinkle of dried Oregano. Let them slowly cook while you get on with the rest.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Bacon.</h4>
This was some very nice gluten free bacon from a local deli. Place in another fry pan with a tiny amount of oil, if any, on low to medium heat.<br />
<h4>
Avocado.</h4>
Halve & slice up an avocado and place on your plate. Some Rocket is also a nice addition.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Poached Eggs.</h4>
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. (We kickstart this with boiling water from the kettle)<br />
Add a decent splash of White Vinegar as this helps the egg whites to set.<br />
Crack your fresh egg into a cup.<br />
Reduce the heat to a slow simmer. (Not too many bubbles)<br />
With a large spoon, spin the water in the saucepan. Not too much.<br />
Pour your egg into the middle of the whirlpool. The spinning action helps to keep the egg white in a tight ball.<br />
This is now your chance to pour a second egg into the saucepan next to the other one. I find that they rarely stick together.<br />
Set your timer for 3 minutes (soft yolk). Don't let the water get back to a boil.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Toast.</h4>
The best gluten free & dairy free bread I've found in Melbourne, so far, is <b>Soy & Linseed bread from Lichtenstiens Bakehouse in Balaclava</b>.<br />
This bread toasts very well and has a great texture & taste.<br />
I buy mine from a local Coles supermarket and keep it in the freezer. Defrosting a few slices when needed. Not many Coles in Melbourne stock this bread. Another option is <a href="http://www.glutenfreeshop.com.au/Lichtensteins-Gluten-Free-Bread-550g-P754.aspx" target="_blank">Sunnybrook Health Store in Ormond</a>.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ingredients: Rice flour 62%, water, eggs, salt, vegetable oil(canola), sugar, yeast, vegetable gum (guar or 412) vinegar. Made in the same premises as products containing nuts.</span></blockquote>
Now you just need to plate everything up and enjoy your home cooked, gluten & dairy free breakfast!<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Would you rather go out for breakfast?</h4>
In Melbourne, especially, there are countless places that have excellent breakfasts.<br />
Many of them offer gluten free bread, but my experience is that the bread is rarely also dairy free. Ask your waiter, but worst case is that you have to go without toast.<br />
<br />
Also be wary of other menu items that often get cooked in butter. eg mushrooms, hash browns (gluten also)<br />

We tried out one of the great flavours from <b>Zebra Dream</b> recently.<br />
<br />
The little 150ml "Dixie cup" is an excellent way to try out the flavours and they seem to be available for around $5. (Spoon included under the lid!!)<br />
<br />
The <b>Choc Mint Crunch</b> had a very smooth & creamy texture with the organic cacao nibs adding a bitter chocolatey crunch.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Organic Coconut milk</li>
<li>Organic Agave syrup</li>
<li>Organic Cacao powder</li>
<li>Organic Cacao nibs</li>
<li>Peppermint oil</li>
<li>Organic Guar Gum</li>
<li>Citrus Fibre</li>
</ul>
<br />
The Agave Syrup is not fructose friendly so I only had a little taste. But if this isn't a worry for you then definitely try these out. (The website shows that the <b>Luscious Latte</b> flavour has no Agave and is sweetened with coconut sugar. I'll try that one out when I next see them)<br />
<br />
We found these in the freezer section at <b>Sunnybrook</b> in Ormond and also the <b>Capital Kitchen</b> at Chadstone Shopping Center. <br />

When <b>Gluten Free 4U </b>first opened in 2012, I was very pleased to see a gluten free related business open up in my area of the South Eastern suburbs.<br />
<br />
I soon became a regular customer and these are are a few of the gluten & dairy free items that I regularly buy.<br />
<br />

I buy these in a pack of six and freeze them so that I always have some on hand. A great staple for me with a cup of tea.<br />
(There are other muffin flavours like chocolate, orange & poppy, but these contain dairy)<br />

This is a very nice, light chocolate brownie which I buy as a slab and then cut up and freeze.<br />

</tbody></table>
The plain dinner rolls, and long rolls have a great texture & flavour. (Not crumbly) I often have one of these as my work lunch.<br />
<br clear="right" />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Wraps</h4>
These are delicious, with a nice flavour & not crumbly.<br />
I like mine with avocado, chicken & salad. Be sure not to over stuff your wrap.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Jam roll</h4>
<div>
A "sometimes" treat. A "real" Jam Roll.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Sausage rolls with carrot</h4>
If you are like me and also need to avoid fructose, these onion free sausage roles are very tasty.<br />
Party size for me.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Meat pie</h4>
They also have a fructose free meat pie which is delicious & also dairy free.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Donuts</h4>
Another special treat are the donuts they make. I understand that they are very popular with many customers. These are better than many non-gluten free donuts!<br />
<br clear="right" />
There is a large range of goods that are gluten free (but not dairy free) so I can't be trying, but you might. Check out their website, which is excellent, as it has full ingredients lists. Online shopping with delivery is available.<br />
<br />
They must be doing something right as the shop can be very busy at times.<br />
I highly recommend that you give Gluten Free 4U a try, if you haven't already.<br />

Sometimes you need a quick and tasty lunch and a pie often hits the spot especially in the colder weather.<br />
<br />
I recently tried one of the many pies made by Silly Yaks here in Melbourne.<br />
<br />
I heated this one from frozen in the microwave. As it heated up I started to smell a lovely combination of lamb and rosemary.<br />
<br />
As for eating, the chunks of lamb were very tender, with plenty of flavor in the gravy.<br />
<br />
As I used the microwave, the pastry was heavy but has a good texture.<br />
If you have the time, I'd recommend using the oven and following the detailed heating instructions on the Silly Yak website for a crispy pastry crust.<br />
<br />
Very handy product to have in your freezer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients list and excellent, detailed heating instructions are available on the Silly Yaks website.<br />

We were visiting Melbourne Central recently and while on the hunt in the food court for something for lunch, we noticed that Cupcake Central had a <b>gluten free and vegan chocolate cupcake</b> available amongst their huge selection of cupcakes.<br />
<br />
The cupcake had a very creamy, smooth frosting on top of a very light spongy cupcake.<br />
Very delicious! I will be dropping by to try out their other gluten free and vegan cupcakes when I can.<br />
Their baking calendar shows that they make a different gluten free & vegan cupcake each day. The Autumn 2012 schedule is:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Chocolate gluten free & vegan: Monday & Saturday</li>
<li>Lemon gluten free & vegan: Tuesday & Friday</li>
<li>Choc Peanut gluten free & vegan: Wednesday & Sunday</li>
<li>Coconut gluten free & vegan: Thursday</li>
</ul>
<br />
Not only were the staff able to show me an ingredients list for the cupcake when I asked, but most impressively, they used tongs that were dedicated to the gluten free, vegan cupcakes when handling my order!<br />
<br />
We'll Done Cupcake Central!!<br />
<br />
ps. One gluten free & vegan Chocolate cupcake was about $4<br />

As usual, finding dairy free Easter eggs is never easy, but there are options available.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the Dairy Free Easter eggs that I have seen in 2012.<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Lindt</b></h3>
<b>Lindt </b>is one of my favourites as it is available in many places including supermarkets, Big W etc.<br />
<br />
The <b>Dark Chocolate Bunnies</b> are really nice; 60% cocoa and come in 100g and 200g sizes. Be careful to only buy the <b>DARK </b>Chocolate version with the <b>BROWN </b>ribbon as this one is dairy free. (<b>RED</b> ribbon is the most common but is <b>MILK </b>chocolate; <b>WHITE </b>ribbon is for <b>WHITE </b>chocolate)<br />
<br />
The Dark Easter Eggs are 70% cocoa.<br />
<br />
Is Lindt chocolate <b>Gluten free</b>?<br />
You'll need to read the <a href="http://www.lindt.com/au/swf/eng/lindt-lovers/learn-about-chocolate/faqs/#c17386" target="_blank">Lindt Chocolate FAQ</a> and make your own decision.<br />

<h3>
Alpha Confectionery</h3>
<div>
In the past we have written about <b>Alpha Confectionery</b> and how wonderful their dairy free chocolate was. Unfortunately, it seems that they may no longer be in business (Their St. Kilda location has been vacated). What a shame. I really miss their Easter Eggs.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I first tried out the <b>gluten free Hot Cross Buns</b> from <b>Simply Wize</b> back before Easter 2011, and it is great to see them back in 2012. They are simply Yummy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHh_sR9A2jlO0jwO8FlADTDuk_P7zbpzE0jcenD-toTIz_XzFRf67dBYdsN3ekSaknMPoALV2ykqtulDoXQnhcW5mSUCflu9skIbpDEkFgjKHO4PFMzVwAuTNx_xo2WzCnAUks8Mqu8dwn/s1600/IMG_3940-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHh_sR9A2jlO0jwO8FlADTDuk_P7zbpzE0jcenD-toTIz_XzFRf67dBYdsN3ekSaknMPoALV2ykqtulDoXQnhcW5mSUCflu9skIbpDEkFgjKHO4PFMzVwAuTNx_xo2WzCnAUks8Mqu8dwn/s320/IMG_3940-001.JPG" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />They have a really nice taste and the texture and balance of fruit and spice is delicious. The buns aren't large but are the perfect size for a quick snack or light breakfast for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the end of Easter 2011 I made a raid on my local Coles and cleaned out all the remaining stock that they had. These 10 or so packets lasted me well into May!<br />Maybe Simply Wize could make a version of these for the rest of the year???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have already purchased some of these this year from <a href="http://www.glutenfreeshop.com.au/" target="_blank">Sunnybrook</a>. About $4.75 for a pack of 6</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You should also be able to find these in the freezer section of your local Coles. (But only if I don't get there first)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I highly recommend these yummy Easter Buns. Have a very Happy Easter.</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can always find one or two packets of this brownie mix in our pantry.</span></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2s8TD_NZQk94sqFltbp0Y-e1GIfiEFzWZbK8PgfxTuT_JvMZv2v7JppLykc3gLacBU7_MDyLUPFIlDUHQVpLdar3tN8rtkFPugr9RiSrKGt990IT_Y-LL-yfkeJn692zXrYcO5V4rhAz/s1600/IMG_4500.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2s8TD_NZQk94sqFltbp0Y-e1GIfiEFzWZbK8PgfxTuT_JvMZv2v7JppLykc3gLacBU7_MDyLUPFIlDUHQVpLdar3tN8rtkFPugr9RiSrKGt990IT_Y-LL-yfkeJn692zXrYcO5V4rhAz/s320/IMG_4500.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a> <br />
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is fast and easy to make and is very delicious. The finished brownie doesn't last long in our house.</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The box shows that the brownie is gluten free, wheat free and yeast free and the recipe only asks you to supply 2 extra large eggs and 120g of butter.</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We like to make a dairy free version of the brownie and the recipe recommends using soya margarine for this. Instead of butter or margarine, we use a quarter of a cup plus two tablespoons of vegetable oil and find that this works well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Update: Late in 2013, Melindas changed the recipe and combined all the ingredients into one packet. We still make a version that is also dairy free but with an additional step to separate out the chocolate chips.</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Making the brownie couldn't be much easier. Our daughter often makes the brownie with only a little help from Mum or Dad.</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<ol>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sift the brownie mix into a bowl and separate out the chocolate chips.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Melt the chocolate chips from the packet with the butter/oil in the microwave</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Add the melted chocolate mix and two lightly beaten eggs</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mix it all together with a big spoon</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pour it into your lined baking tin</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bake</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This takes only 10 minutes to mix and 20 minutes to bake (depending on how "fudgy" you like your brownie).</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The result is a very addictive brownie. It's hard to stop at one piece.</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you need a gluten and dairy free treat, this is a fast and as delicious as they get. Thanks Melinda's!!</span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #262626; line-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I buy these at our local Woolies or Coles for $5 to $6</span><br />
