Going Local.

I was recently contacted by a local company that has dedicated their business to allergy friendly pre-made meals. They are called Copper Pot Creations. I heart local companies. Local companies are what make a city unique. Big hug to local business!

After reading the site I can say that they have a great story, a great handle on allergy friendly cooking and a definitive passion for making life a little easier for us. I champion those that allow me a little extra lazy in my life! They even offer free delivery so it’s cheap lazyness too!

I haven’t tried their products so I’m not going to hazard a guess as to how they taste. The pictures look pretty so that’s a good first step!

I will tell you, that I had a bit of a moment when I was perusing the site. Two things caught my attention immediately:

1. It seems that there is a trend amongst gluten free pre-made meals – they’re all the same. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate how hard it is to make allergy friendly meals. But that doesn’t mean that I want to eat Sheppard’s Pie and Pasta all day everyday. What I miss is pizza and Chinese food, and I would give my first born child for a fresh, off the spit donair. Fish and Chips with tartar sauce may just make my head spin off this planet. I want what I can’t have.

2. Where is the dessert? Allergy friendly dessert is like finding a diamond in the rough. Trust me. When push comes to shove I can sustain on rice cake sandwiches and coffee. But I can and will get owly with out an infusion of dessert goodness. In my wonderland in the sky, every meal would be delivered with dessert – and chocolate/orange cake does not count. (this comment will make sense in a few days!)

So all in all, I think the Copper Pot is really on to something here. Give it a try and let me know what you think. And please remember that my comments at the end are more of a reflection of life and the industry as much as they are about the Copper Pot specifically.
