Happy Easter!

Wishing all our customers a very happy Easter weekend. Don’t eat too much chocolate! It’s good to see the sun coming back out. Maybe it’ll be good enough for a Barbecue (with lashings of Yazz’s Sweet-Chilli-Tastic YUMMY!).

Have a good one!

A cracking start!

We are off to a cracking start for 2012! With January being a record month for online sales, and February promising to be the same

We hope to soon bring you some fabulous new Tomato Free recipes and more great allergy advice and freebies.

But for now, here is a little joke that I heard on the radio the other day and it give me a little chuckle:

What is red and invisible? – No Tomatoes!

Hehehe… Anyway, if you are looking for the red stuff, go get some!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing all our customers and visitors a safe and very merry Christmas and happy new year!

Best wishes,

Conrad, Uzma, Alicia, Yasmin, and tiny bump!

New Host

admin — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:29:36 +0000

Hi All. It has been a busy week, and due to the high number of hits we have been receiving, we have had to move the TomatoFree website to a new host today. Sorry for any disruption during this process, but everything should now be back to normal.

I will be giving the site a good workout tonight to make sure everything is working as it should, but if you spot anything out of place, or have any problems with the site then please let me know (as I may need to get a few settings tweaked).

We can now handle lots more visitors! Yay!

New Cheaper Courier!

admin — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:34:04 +0000

We are very pleased to announce a new, less expensive, delivery charge on all of our 4 jar packs of tomato replacement, and Yazz’s Sweet-Chilli-Tastic relish. Previously you were charged £8.22 (the old Royal Mail First Class rate) for delivery. However, since they increased their fees to £8.90, we simply couldn’t pass that increase on to our customers as we already felt £8.22 to be excessive. Therefore, we are very happy to say that we have negotiated and secured a new courier company to handle all the packs of 4, giving a saving to our customers of £2.22 per box of 4! This is great news for our new and regular customers alike.

We have had some excellent feedback on their service, but we want to make sure we are giving the very best possible service to you, and we can only do that with your feedback. Any orders on 4 or more jars will be dispatched with our new courier, and we would really appreciate it if you could let us know how they perform. Please leave a comment with your experience (good or bad). Thank you!

Our New Relish Now Available!

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 19:51:28 +0000

Yazz’s Sweet-Chilli-Tastic Relish is now available from the Online Shop. This sinfully sweet red pepper and onion relish has a kick of chilli and mango that makes it the perfect accompaniment for that summer BBQ. It is also a real treat for a night in in front of the TV, served warm with a big bag of tortilla chips to dunk! Awsome with cheese, and with whatever takes your fancy!

What people are saying about it:

Whenever we open a jar, it rarely lasts more than two days – as we just can’t stop eating it, especially with cheese and biscuits!
Fantastic in burgers and hot dogs and as a side relish to any barbecue meat! The only reason I wouldn’t recommend it is – because I want it all to myself!!!
It’s absolutely delicious!

TomatoFree Revamp Ready For The New Products!

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:41:39 +0000

Over the next week, we will be overhauling the TomatoFree.co.uk website in readiness for the new products (Ally’s No Tomato Sauce, Ally’s TomatoFree Ketchup and Yazz’s Sweet-Chilli-Tastic relish). You will still be able to find everything that is currently available on the site (such as the free printables in the downloads section, and the information on food allergy etc.), but we will have a nice shiny new front page, some excellent photos of our sauces, more wonderful recipe ideas including home-made tomato free pizza, a spicy chicken dansak, and gorgeous sticky BBQ spare ribs just in time for BBQ season (all with photos!), and best of all, we will be upgrading the online shop where you can get your hands on our great tasting tomato alternatives. We are also looking into an alternative (and less expensive) courier to help bring the cost of delivery down for our online customers!

Please bare with us whilst we make these changes, and thanks for your patience! We know people are waiting for the new ketchup to be released (it tastes SO good!) – sorry for the delays… won’t be long now!

- The TomatoFree Team.

Food Diary

admin — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 22:31:03 +0000

For those people who are unsure whether they even have a food intolerance or allergy, but suffer from symptoms that could be linked to a reaction to food, it is usually a good idea to keep a strict food diary. Make a record of everything you eat and drink for two weeks, and make notes as to when you have any symptoms. Once armed with this information, it should be much easier to identify which foods may be causing a problem. We have a blank two-week food diary that you can download (for free) and print. Fill it in over two weeks with as much detail as possible – even include the brand names of the foods you eat (as ingredients can be very different between brands of similar products). Once you have that information to hand (you may have even identified a trigger food that is causing you problems at this stage), then make your appointment to see your dietician or doctor. They will then be able to advise on the best course of action for you. Always consult your Doctor before making any changes to your diet.

No-Tomato Ketchup

admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 21:39:04 +0000

We have some exciting news on the No-Tomato Ketchup front. We are anticipating a product launch for the end of next month! Currently the recipe has been finalised (and tastes great!) and bottle selection/design is under way. Pre-orders will be accepted from the 15th of Feb.

We hope you like it as much as we do!

Once the No-Tomato Ketchup is released, we will be running a little competition for the next Tomato-Free product. A few ideas so far are: Curry Sauce, BBQ Sauce, No-Tomato Soup, Spicy Salsa. If you have a great idea for a Tomato-Free product, let us know!

Tomatoes and Eczema

admin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 23:40:30 +0000

I have been hearing a lot about tomatoes and all the nightshade family of vegetables aggravating the symptoms of Eczema. Anyone who suffers with Eczema will know just how debilitating it can be and will be keen to try out different ways to alleviate the symptoms. It might be worth trying a diet without any nightshades (that includes Tomatoes) for four weeks to see if it helps (but always consult your doctor or nutritionist first). I’m not suggesting it will work for everyone, but the benefits of a nightshade free diet has certainly worked wonders for some, including some high profile and well known “foodies” such as Masterchef judge John Torode (article from the Daily Mail), and Craig Sams (co-founder of Green & Blacks chocolates – article from the Guardian).

I’ll have a hunt around and dig up as much info I can on the subject and add it to the resources section. If you know of any related sites, please let me know Thanks!
