About Us

Free From Living is the UK’s first mainstream magazine, dedicated to free from life. 52% of UK households avoid some sort of foods, from people living with coeliac disease, people living with allergies or intolerances to people choosing to make more sustainable choices in the food they eat. Free From Living is here to simplify free from life. It stands up for its readers, helps them to take control of their conditions and inspires them to enjoy the pleasures of great tasting food. 

Our Magazine

Free From Living magazine is issued bi-monthly, six times per year. Every edition contains a bank of free from recipes (all of which are gluten free and nut free, with all top 14 allergens considered) exclusive interviews and advice, product recommendations and more. Compiled by our team of experts and overseen by editor, Julia Cross, who has over 17 years’ experience working in the food and drink industry, our content is timely, inspiring and relatable.
