To celebrate Coeliac Awareness Week, we’ve linked up with our sister brand Dietary Specials to give you a range of recipes and help you create your very own wheat- and gluten-free afternoon tea. A traditional afternoon tea starts with sandwiches so today we’ve pulled together our favourite wheat- and gluten-free fillings:
