The mother-daughter duo behind a well-known gluten-free bakery is using family recipes to revolutionise the coeliac dining scene.<\/p>\n

Irene Kurandy and daughter Lea Sigglekow started Mister Nosh to fill a gap they had noticed in the market for tasty gluten-free food.<\/p>\n

They set the business up as a wholesale company in 2018 after closing their Fremantle caf\u00e9, and have since sold baked goods at local fresh food supermarkets, including IGAs, Good Grocers and various eateries.<\/p>\n

Their rapid popularity allowed them to open a permanent shopfront in Bibra Lake six months ago, which Ms Sigglekow said had been a wonderful way to connect with the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been cool after being tucked away for so long in a warehouse, and all of a sudden having regulars and staff in the kitchen,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pretty much make recipes that my mum\u2019s had with her for a very long time. When I was little, she used to provide food to IGAs \u2013 that\u2019s what she did as a single mother to get by.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the recipes we\u2019ve had for so long, and we\u2019ve just adapted them to be gluten-free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both women are gluten intolerant, and they wanted to create something to combat the stereotype of bland gluten-free food options.<\/p>\n

Their extensive catalogue includes sweet treats such as apple and walnut cinnamon muffins, caramel slice and lamingtons.<\/p>\n

They also offer fresh bread, zucchini muffins and several relishes and chutneys, all drawn from Ms Kurandy\u2019s cherished family recipe book.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sticky date puddings and our crumbles are a big favourite among a lot of people. I love creating them, because you can\u2019t generally find those types of iconic items gluten-free,\u201d Ms Sigglekow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been nice hearing people so excited that they can get things like that gluten-free.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo have more than 40 years of combined experience in the fresh food industry, having opened their first caf\u00e9 Mister Finch in Fremantle in 2012. They closed it in 2018 after business began to slow.<\/p>\n

Ms Sigglekow said they wanted to get creative and focus on wholesale gluten-free recipes instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum\u2019s a really good cook and baker, so I always wanted something where she could be creative and not have to work for other people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with the idea to start doing packaged meals and gluten-free cakes \u2013 we\u2019d close up the caf\u00e9 in the afternoon and start working on that at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked really hard and got into a few stockists, and then we decided to close the caf\u00e9 and move into a warehouse-style premise to start Mister Nosh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launching a small business is always difficult, and Ms Sigglekow said despite the challenges of working so closely with a parent, it was also comforting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always been me and my mum, I\u2019m an only child. We\u2019ve got a really good relationship \u2013 she\u2019s got the creative mind, I feel like I\u2019ve got the sales and the other side of it, so we work quite well in that way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have family, or someone that you know you can trust. The flip side is it\u2019s hard to work with a parent sometimes, being from an older generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had different ideas \u2026 there were times when we wanted to quit, and it would get stressful with arguments, but we always pulled through and knew what we were doing was for a bigger purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair were excited to spend time together outside of their bustling business.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband\u2019s family is here from New Zealand, and my mum and I will definitely be spending the day together,\u201d Ms Sigglekow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s turning 70 this year, and she still works Saturdays with me in the shop but it\u2019s time for her to relax a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mother-daughter duo behind a well-known gluten-free bakery is using family recipes to revolutionise the coeliac dining scene.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[64,63,99,31114,155775,1295,137,44,532,46,12587,8080,45],"class_list":["post-675274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-canning","tag-cockburn","tag-food","tag-health","tag-news","tag-nutrition","tag-perth","tag-small-business","tag-south","tag-wa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
