** Update 2016: Knead Bakery is no longer in operation **<\/p>\n

Sometimes I really wish we lived in London.<\/p>\n

Not so much for the excitement of the big city (after all, I have lived there before, pre-history – or at least, before having a family) but because there seem to be fabulous new options opening up for the gluten-free all the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"I was intrigued by an email from Sim at Knead Bakery<\/a> recently. Now, I haven’t heard of Knead before, probably because I live out here in the sticks, but they make wheat, gluten, dairy and cane-sugar free cakes.<\/p>\n

Sim Smith, the founder, is launching four of her core products into stores in Mayfair round about now: mini muffins (lemon and poppy seed, and blueberry), chocolate brownies, and carrot cake. These will be available in the Napket<\/a> stores in Vigo Street and Piccadilly. <\/p>\n

The Knead products are also available at Alara<\/a> – a health store and organic cafe – in Bloomsbury, and a range of products (chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies, as well as the chocolate brownies) are available as part of the hamper range from Cityfruits<\/a>. Cityfruits deliver to most postcodes in the UK.<\/p>\n

Sim offers a bespoke baking service, for parties and other occasions, including corporate events. Now, I think that’s an interesting venture; how often do you end up with melon or icecream when eating at a conference or training session? <\/p>\n

So you can buy their goodies from Knead direct – as an individual or as a company – or from a health store in London; you can buy them in cafes in London; you can order them online in a hamper for delivery to most places in the UK; and Knead will be setting up an online shop soon – so even those of us who don’t live in London can find them!<\/p>\n

I think that’s a clever strategy…<\/p>\n

Sim very kindly sent us some samples to try:<\/p>\n
