Anna Clark and Tony Solomon founded Anna Mae's in 2009.
Lactose-free dairy brand Arla Lactofree has announced a partnership with London’s original macaroni and cheese food truck, Anna Mae’s, in a move that will see the creation of a number of lactose-free street food dishes.
The collaboration will lead to the development of seven new recipes, which Arla said would show that consumers with a lactose intolerance need not miss out on dairy. Arla Lactofree, it added, can be used in cooking in exactly the same way as standard dairy products.
The new recipes being introduced by Anna Mae’s include cavolo nero Italian cabbage and pancetta mac, roasted cauliflower mac, and arancini-style mac balls – plus a number of non-macaroni dishes, including spinach pancakes and doughnuts with butterscotch.
Arla Lactofree assistant brand manager Michelle Roberts said: “Those with lactose intolerance see mac ‘n’ cheese as a dish that is off limits but our collaboration with Anna Mae’s shows that you don’t need to compromise on taste by using dairy alternatives. Lactofree is real dairy with the lactose removed so it tastes the same, looks the same and cooks the same as standard dairy products.”
Anna Clark, founder of Anna Mae’s, added: “I hadn’t used Arla Lactofree products before and was amazed to see that it was no different to using standard dairy products. We love the new recipes we’ve created and are really excited to work together and give lactose intolerant customers a chance to try our dishes… the more people that can eat mac ‘n’ cheese, the better.”
