Expo for a gluten-free lifestyle

Turning passion into accessible and amazingly tasty food.

So much more than business – a mission to drive change and create unique experiences.

In Australia more than 12 percent of our population is choosing to lead a gluten-free lifestyle, not including those who are diagnosed coeliac.

The Gluten Free Lifestyle Show shines a spotlight on some of the businesses that think outside the box and create those ‘wow’ moments where taste is everything.

Arancini 4 All have been on this journey. After Crystal’s mother was diagnosed as coeliac, Crystal (a chef), Grant and their children started a family business because “we wanted to create sustainably sourced, organic, delicious arancini that everyone can eat and enjoy.”

This passionate family business has received National Coeliac Australia certification and can be seen in retailers, restaurants and markets across Victoria.

”Our arancini are made with love,” Crystal said.

“We pour our hearts and souls into each one.”

Arancini 4 All have created new products specifically making healthy eating accessible, especially for kids.

Gluten Free Nomad are another family success story driving innovation and a passion for producing high quality products.

Andy was diagnosed with coeliac disease more than five years ago at 28 years old – not having any family or friends knowing about coeliac disease, he had to make big changes in his life.

Having been fortunate enough to travel, Mel and Andy were on a mission. That vision led to the creation of Gluten Free Nomad.

Mel and Andy wanted to empower others with coeliac disease or those following a gluten-free lifestyle to feel secure and never feel like they were missing out.

Community has always been important to Mel and Andy. They want people to feel confident, safe and included. Mel and Andy’s entrepreneurial drive is inspirational.

The Gluten Free Lifestyle Show brings together businesses like Arancini 4 All, Gluten Free Nomad and more than 40 other businesses. A family friendly setting with a food hall serving amazing fresh food, interactive cooking demonstrations, entertainment and nutritional presentations.

It’s a lifestyle show that is unique and accessible. Those who are Coeliac can attend with confidence at this 100 percent Gluten Free Event on August 9 and 10 at Deakin Waterfront Campus.

Tickets and programs for the Gluten Free Lifestyle Show are available online at glutenfreeshow.com.au with tickets available also at the door. The event is being delivered by Gluten Free Cook Australia’s online Gluten Free Lifestyle Community.
