The Gluten Free Collective Buying Club - The Launch

On Monday the 12th of September, I will be launching The Gluten Free Collective Buying Club in order to negotiate discounts on behalf of the members of the Cookery Club of Sovereign Harbour.


The negotiation with suppliers will be conducted through The Gluten Free Discount Stores - UK who will manage the stock taking, purchases and supply to members.


The Gluten Free Discount Stores will be located in Watford, Herts. where I have already  my business Mr. Spiceman of Watford - the Spice Merchants.


Delivery Supply to members is currently looked at in order to reduce the cost.


In my opinion, Gluten Free Products should be affordable and shouldn't cost so much.


I will encourage members to bake there own bread and make there own cakes in order to share it with other members by taking turn.


Wedding Cakes, Birthday Cakes and other Celebration Cakes will be sourced through members involvement in providing the imput and make the club a one big family.


It is my believe that I can help this community in saving lot of money through establishing and implementing various ideas which we can all share together.


Please come along and be part of this Club..... It is FREE to join.


Welcome and see you on the 12th of September.

The Gluten Free Cookery Club of Sovereign Harbour - explained

What is Gluten you may ask... yes, we all heard of gluten free this, gluten free that but what is gluten?

Gluten is a type of protein commonly found in rye, wheat and barley.

it is also found on most types of cereals and all kind of bread on the supermarket shelves.

saying that, not all foods from grain contain gluten as for example those which do not contain gluten such as wild rice, corn, buckwheat ( not to be confused with wheat), millet, quinoa, oats, soyabeans and sunflower seeds.

the gluten is the elastic rubbery in grains which bind the dough in foods such as bread which contribute to its spongy consistency.

Do you know that half of the world population has the Celiac disease.

In such situation, the gluten in food stimulate the immune system to react with the bowel tissue causing its inflamation.

That leads to flattening of the small intestine lining which interfer with the absorption of nutrients to feed the body.

Celiac is a life style can only be treated through gluten free diet.

Other food intolerance are not the same as Celiac which are not related to the inflamation of the intestines however, food allergy should be treated with the same respect as it effect our daily life.

Come along to Sovereign Harbour Cookery Club and join one of the two groups in order to meet others in the same situation as you.

Eating the right food  can prove a god sent recipe for good health.

Come down and join us for FREE

Sovereign Harbour Cookery Club - Diabetic Group

Time for me to start thinking of those who suffer from Diebetes like myself.


Diabetic Cooking include the listing and choosing the right food and may contribute in aiding those who want to loose weight.


Those who suffer from Diabetes either type one or two know full well how difficult to find the right food to enjoy life with those who are not diabetic.


Diabetic Food is a vast industry exploited by multi-national businesses where they set up there prices high which shouldn't be.


Diabetic and the food we share with non-diabetics is a close subject to the heart of many homes around the world.


You know sometimes you crave for something sweet, yet you can not indulge in having nice things to satisfy your crave.


Sovereign Harbour Cookery Club will explore this subject in depth by talking about it, sharing informations by sharing recipes and be part of an active Diabetic Community - you don't need to isolated !!


You will be no longer on your own and your partners will have no need to suffer with you but on the contrary, let them share with you delicious home made food where all of you will enjoy.


Cooking and eating the right food is part of life enjoyment.


Come down and make friends with others starting on Monday the 12th of September at 10am at Seamoor Wine Bar, Sovereign Harbour Waterfront, Eastbourne, East Sussex.


Enjoy Life - Eat the Right Food Sensibly !!!...

Sovereign Harbour Cookery Club - Food Intolerence

Do you or any of your family or friends suffer from Wheat Intolerance ??... you are not alone.


Food Intolerance will be a subject which will be dealt by a New Group to be formed within the Cookery Club which will be launched on the 12th September.


This Special Group will meet on separate time, in separate venue but will be kept within Sovereign Harbour.


I have obtained the permission fro Simply Italian Restaurant to use there Annex at the Waterfront every Monday at 3pm starting on September the 12th.


At this very moment and time, I have no idea what to call this group within the Cookery Club.


The New Cookery Club will have no facilities for testing for Food Intolerance and Food Deficiceny.


This should be dealt by professional specialising in Diagnostic Food Intolerance and the best advise is to use your GP who will be able to refer you to specialist unit within your hospital.


I have seen so many of my clients talking about visiting testing places set up within Healthfood Stores - In my opinion, you should avoid this as they can't give 100% accurate diagnosis but the decision is yours and not up to me to point fingers. 


Also they charge lot of money when you can get accurate diagnosis for free from the Hospital.


What I am trying to establish by setting up Sovereign Harbour Cookery Club is first of all to enjoy people company as a Social Weekly Event.


Second, you will meet like minded people with similar problems to yours.


And thirdly, to enjoy cooking and eating the right food without breaking the bank.


I am sure this New Cookery Club will be an asset to this Community in Sovereign Harbour but also good neighbours with the rest of the Community surrounding this beautiful corner of England.


Join us on the 12th of September and explore together the Joy of Cooking at Home.
