This delightful and very photogenic little girl came to dine at Chedi Restaurant with her family. She ate all her food and was forced to give up the spoon only with a bribe of a vanilla sundae.

It’s not possible to praise Chedi enough for their combination of great food, great service, and complete confidence in their gluten free options. One of my friends suffers from coeliac disease, and finding a restaurant that serves reliably gluten free food (cross-contamination is almost always a risk) and can provide detailed information on what’s on offer, is always a challenge.

In Australia we have responded to this gastronomic trend with the likes of Neil Perry, Curtis Stone and Bill Granger. No national cuisine has been spared by the glare of the media and has been chopped, stirred and fried by the likes of Tetsuya Wakuda for Japanese, Kylie Wong for Chinese and Martin Boetz for Thai. Which leads me to ask; where are the Thais?

There are many Thai restaurants in Sydney, who proclaim to serve only Authentic Thai Food. But having lived in Thailand for 10 years, I am puzzled to define what actually authentic Thai food is?

Luckily for suffers of this disease Thai food is the perfect choice when dining out. For further information regarding ceoliac disease and gluten intolerance please visit The Coeliac Society homepage.
