🤳Wandering around a larger 🤸‍♀️ Coop in Oerlikon and photographing some of the basic gluten free products you must know about.

There is also so much more to find out. You just need to have your eyes wide open and check the labels and ingredients🤓. We live in a good time to be gluten free, compared to some years ago. 😎

Enjoying a gluten free Pizza Margherita at dieci in Zurich Oerlikon 💟

I am not a native Zurich-Woman so, let me share my secret shopping destination with you.. Originally I come from the border to Aargau, the beautiful city of Bad Säckingen. Only about 70km from Zurich you can find a hot spot of gluten free treats in many supermarkets.

If you go, I can give you advice where you will find what.

Now sharing some pics of what I found at the local: REWE there are some dedicated spaces but also loads of things spread throughout the aisles.

This is btw. the only place that has gluten free frozen Windbeutel and a MUST stop for my cravings 😁.

Here a List of more shops I recommend:
In the city center:

📍Alnatura and Müller (are next to each other)

📍Reformhaus is in the old city center

📍Italian Supermarket is a bit off but still close to the city center

📍Schmidts Markt XXL (there is a large one next to Lidl and Aldi)

📍Kaufland (is in Obersäckingen)

Make sure to not surpass the tax limit when shopping in Germany 🙂. Easy to buy too much with all the choice 😛.

🎄Happy Christmas everyone!

I think my family learned what presents I like 😍
I got a great gluten free pistacchio panettone and cookies.

And as always I could eat everything in a gf version too. So blessed 🤩.

The panettone was bought in Basel

will close it‘s doors by end of the year. They have many many gluten free products. A bit overpriced I have to say. But you might want to give it a try 🥲 for the last time.

They also have more than what is on the pictures. Also bread, flour etc.

New Gluten-Free Find! 🥳

Hey everyone! I just have to share my excitement about these amazing new gluten-free croquettes I discovered at the Spanish food market near Berninaplatz in Zürich Oerlikon. They’re labeled as gluten-free and come in several different flavors! I’ve tried one of them already, and they’re absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and bursting with flavor.

I’m so thrilled to have found these and can’t wait to try the other flavors too. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend checking them out. Let me know if you give them a try or if you’ve spotted other gluten-free gems around Zürich! 🌟

X-Mas Cookie Time 😍

If you are a little lazy do it like me and buy the ready to bake dough for Mailänderli at Migros 🤭.

For the Vanille Kipferl I used a super simple recipe of Schär.

Another simple gluten free recipe is Kokos Makronen, I will try out soon!

Grittibänz I would love to try but I am just afraid how hard and dry it will be after baking 🙀. Wishe me luck 🤞and share your wisdom

Slay your cookie baking with easy peasy recipes ✌️.

What did you bake so far and what recipes do you recommend? Show us some of your cookies 🤩 and share some pics

🎄How to Find Out If Food is Gluten-Free at a Christmas Market in Zurich ⛔️

Christmas markets are magical, but navigating the food options as someone who avoids gluten can be challenging. Here’s how to ensure your food is safe while enjoying the festive atmosphere:

1. Ask the Vendor

Ask the vendor about the food in German to make sure it’s gluten-free:
• „Ist dieses Gericht glutenfrei?“ (Is this dish gluten-free?)
• „Sind Weizen, Gerste, Roggen oder Dinkel etc… enthalten?“ (Does it contain wheat, barley, rye, or spelt ezc…?)
• „Wird das in demselben Öl frittiert wie panierte Speisen?“ (Is it fried in the same oil as breaded foods?)
• „Werden dieselben Utensilien oder Oberflächen verwendet wie bei glutenhaltigen Lebensmitteln?“ (Are the same utensils or surfaces used as with gluten-containing foods?)

You can also ask them to use fresh gloves etc…
It is mandatory for them to have an allergen list / folder. So just ask for it if they do ot know the ingredients and check yourself. You can also take google translate or chat gpt translating a pocture you take of it.

If speaking German feels difficult, you can print and show this sentence:
„Ich kann kein Gluten essen. Ist dieses Gericht glutenfrei, und wurde es ohne Kontamination mit Gluten zubereitet?“
(Translation: “I cannot eat gluten. Is this dish gluten-free, and was it prepared without contamination with gluten?”)

2. Check for Gluten in Ingredients

If there’s a list of ingredients, here’s what to look out for. Gluten can be hidden under various names:
• Wheat (Weizen)
• Barley (Gerste)
• Rye (Roggen)
• Spelt (Dinkel)
• Kamut
• Triticale
• Malt (Malz)
• Flour (Mehl, e.g., Weizenmehl, Roggenmehl)
• Starch (unless labeled gluten-free, e.g., “Weizenstärke”)
• Modified food starch (can contain gluten unless specified gluten-free)
• Semolina (Grieß)
• Bran (Kleie)
• Hydrolyzed wheat protein
• Gluten (sometimes listed directly as “Gluten”)
etc… you should always have a list like that at hand to check ingredients. I did not check on completeness, if you want a complete ask me and I provide one. That‘s just meant as example.

3. Be Aware of Hidden Gluten

Some common market foods may contain gluten even if it’s not obvious, such as:
• Sausages or meatballs (breadcrumbs or wheat as a binder)
• Sauces, gravies, or soups (flour as a thickener)
• Fried foods (breaded or fried in shared oil)
• Waffles, crepes, or pancakes

4. Bring a Backup Snack

To stay safe, always keep a small gluten-free snack with you in case you can’t find something suitable.

Enjoy the Christmas market in Zurich, and happy gluten-free exploring!

Found at Zürich HB in Shopville Bakery Bakery

It’s actually a vegan Bakery currently expanding more and more. So it’s NOT gf by itself.

Still they have something for us 🤩:

Raw cakes from Grainglow which I just learned where bought up by Imholz Glutenfrei👏.

And many snacks and gf ‘Cornflakes’. Just check the ingredients 😇.

I just read they will also take over the vegan bakery Sprössling at Schaffhauserplatz.

Enjoy 🥰 and have an amazing 25 Degree Weekend ☀️😎
