At Cultured Bakehouse, we believe that the dinner table is more than just a place to eat. It’s a place for connection, laughter, celebration, and love. It’s where families come together, friends share stories, and memories are made. But for so many, dietary restrictions and allergies create unnecessary divisions during these moments.
This is why Cultured Bakehouse came to be—because no one should feel excluded or left out at the table.
The Problem with Divided Meals
For years, I noticed a recurring issue: meals often become a source of stress rather than joy for those with dietary needs or preferences. Families would prepare multiple dishes to accommodate different restrictions. Friends would hesitate to invite others over because they weren’t sure what was safe to serve. People with allergies, coeliac disease, or dietary preferences like veganism were often left with limited or bland options, feeling like an afterthought.
To me, this was unacceptable. Food should unite, not divide.
The Vision: Inclusivity at the Table
Cultured Bakehouse was born out of a desire to create a space where everyone, regardless of their dietary needs or preferences, can come together and share the same meal without fear or compromise. Whether you’re vegan, coeliac, nut-free, soy-free, or low FODMAP, our products are made with you—and your loved ones—in mind.
We aim to erase the divisions that dietary needs can create, offering food that is not only safe but also delicious, so everyone can truly enjoy eating together. With our fully free-from products, people with different needs can sit down at the same table and eat the same bread, brownies, pizza bases, or churros, without a second thought.
Why This Matters
Food is one of the most universal expressions of love and care. It brings people closer, whether it’s sharing a meal at home or celebrating a special occasion. But when someone at the table has a dietary need—whether it’s a life-threatening allergy or a gluten intolerance—it can create barriers, not only to the meal itself but to the connection it fosters.
At Cultured Bakehouse, we work to remove those barriers. By offering products that are safe for everyone, we ensure that meals can be shared without worry or separation. We want families and friends to focus on enjoying each other’s company, not stressing over who can eat what.
A Commitment to Quality and Joy
We craft every product with care, using high-quality ingredients that are completely free from the 14 most common allergens. This means our products are:
- Coeliac-friendly
- Vegan-friendly
- Nut-free
- Dairy-free
- Soy-free
- Celery-free
- Low FODMAP, and more!
But it’s not just about being allergy-safe; it’s about flavor and joy. We want our breads, brownies, cookies, and more to be so good that no one even notices they’re “free from.”
Together at the Table
At its heart, Cultured Bakehouse is about inclusivity. It’s about ensuring that no one feels like an outsider when it’s time to eat. It’s about creating moments of togetherness where everyone, regardless of their dietary needs, can enjoy the same delicious food.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’re here because of your own dietary needs or because you’re looking for a way to make meals more inclusive for the people you care about, know that you are the reason we do what we do.
Together, we can make every table a place of belonging.
Warmly,
