This is a very proud moment for me, I’m beyond excited to announce that I am sponsoring the Free From Food Awards 2022 for the newly created Soup and Bowl meals category.
I am a huge soup and bowl meal lover. Most of the food I make at home is soup or bowl related, quick, healthy and easy, but finding safe alternatives for this when eating out, on the go, or shopping is not easy.
I’m excited to see the entrants in this category and to discovering some new, tasty and exciting new options for me for 2022.
What are the Free From Food Awards?
In case you aren’t aware of what these awards are all about, they’ve been going now for an incredible 14 years and I’ve been involved with judging for about 10 years so I feel very fond and proud of everything the Free From Food Awards has achieved and stands for.
They are the only awards of their kind that champions good quality, tasty, safe and innovative allergen free, gluten free and vegan food options for those living with allergies, intolerance or other conditions that require the avoidance of certain food types.
As someone with multiple life threatening allergies (nuts, dairy, wheat and soya) these awards provide peace of mind, a place to come to discover new products and an incredible directory of the brands who care.
Some of my Free From Food Awards highlights…
I’ve found so many wonderful brands through these awards but some of my highlights have been discovering Creative Nature and their cake mixes, snack bars and most importantly Gnawbles (pictured right).
Everything they make is free from the top 14 allergens which is such a relief, to know you can buy anything without having to check the labels.
Winning the Free From Hero Award this year was also a huge achievement for me and a complete surprise. I still can’t quite believe that. You can read more about that here, “I won the Free From Hero Award 2021”
There are so many brands I could list here from Saintly pies to Belly Goodness sauces. Have a root around my old blogs about the awards to find out more, and the highlights from judging this year here – “My favourite Free From Awards Finds 2021”

Hi Ruth congratulations on being awarded the FreeFrom Hero award as with all you have written about over the past many years you sure deserve it, and well done for sponsoring one of the awards also, as you have helped me get through the many severe allergies I have the worst being all fish except cod, all shell fish, pork, lamb, mushrooms, and pretty much all natural things like all animals trees grasses oh and even uva and uvb from the sun and also all perfumes smells from washing liquids powders and the list goes on and on but a lot can lead to severe asthma attack or anaphylaxis so not too much fun when going out. But thanks to your blogs and my sons and daughters that have helped me through the many times of hospital admissions so as far as I’m concerned you deserve all the praise and awards you get.
Thank you so much Ian. You are so kind. I am glad I could help in some small way and I hope you are well. That’s a super long list of allergens. the Fragrance and perfumes must be so hard to avoid. Stay safe! and out of hospital please!
