More delicious treats than ever

Sharon and Yinon Hacham moved from Israel to Australia with their then twoyear-old daughter in 2012.

They have since built a unique and thriving, gluten free, dairy free, nut free and kosher business, incorporating sweet and savoury items at 439A Kooyong Road in Elsternwick.

The Jewish Report spoke with Sharon ahead of Passover 2023.

Tell me about developments regarding 4me gluten free.

We are very excited to be expanding our shop. We will be expanding into the premises next door. At the moment, our store operates from a doorway, which is nice in that I am able to interact with our customers and have gotten to know each one by name.

However, when we have a larger shop, people will be able to come inside, browse and choose from a large selection of goodies.

How soon are you planning to extend?

By mid-year, at the latest.

Exactly what you are going to do?

The store will have plenty of displays and shelves for people to see our full range of desserts, savouries and celebration cakes.

Will bigger floor space result in more goodies?

Definitely. We will have more yummy treats to try in future.

So, what new items are you planning to introduce?

We will expand our vegan range, as well as our sugar free products.

Now, let’s focus on Pesach. What would you be recommending this year?

This year we will be focusing on the classics: the marble babka, chocolate mousse, raspberry and coconut cake and, let’s not forget, our coconut and chocolate macaroons. We will also be introducing a strawberry Swiss roll and bringing back our chocolate lamington and chocolate orange jaffa cake. Both were a real hit last year and are coming back due to customer demand.
