  ESSEX UK I've been MD of MannaVida, where we created "The World's Best Gluten Free Bread"*: no compromise, no chemicals ... just delicious bread packed with clean ingredients. *Winning the World Bread Awards twice (and 23 medals to boot) means we're gaining many followers and fans, who describe our bread as "the best gluten free bread I've ever tasted" and "it's just like real bread!"

Consequently, we're lined up for a number of larger retail outlets later this year. We listened to our customers and realised our brand position and packaging could be improved and, in line with this extensive customer feedback, we decided to rebrand. We're now called Davina Steel Baking the Difference. The result (we hope you agree) is family-friendly and simple to make. We have just launched six reworked and new SKUs ... keeping to our multi award winning secret recipes! Come by and chat, ask questions and let me know what you think. I look forward to seeing you. www.davinasteel.com Show less

Having tried them out on my nutrition clients, I entered the World Bread Awards (sponsored by Tiptree) in October 2015 and won 8 of the 23 medals awarded worldwide for gluten free bread.

Having tried them out on my nutrition clients, I entered the World Bread Awards (sponsored by Tiptree) in October 2015 and won 8 of the 23 medals awarded worldwide for gluten free bread. This led to the incorporation of MannaVida ... the award winning artisan bakery reinventing gluten free baking from the inside out. Our secret, revolutionary recipe blends banish the paradigm of dry, flavourless gluten free misery and open the doors of exquisite artisan bakery to everyone, regardless of allergy or intolerance. We also gained city investment and a lifetime of coaching from Grocery Accelerator Ltd. Our simple bread mixes, kits and breads will be in multiple retailers in the coming months.
