The best I've found are Bakels which Pak n Save sell or probably other supermarkets. Countdown has a section where you can get rice flour etc or of course Bin Inn does various flours too.

Hi Sophia
As Gemini has said, all the major supermarkets seem to stock Gluten free produce, Bin Inn is also a great source, I Have also inserted a link below to the NZ Manufactured Food Database, where you can download a list of Gluten free products by manufacturer, these lists are updated regularly, and we use it as our bible for our daughter who has Coeliac disease.

I have been advised not to use bulk bins at Bin Inn for anything unless it is in strictly packages done at factories due to risk of cross-comtamination reactions (already had it:uhoh)
I will look into Bakels, just cost of gluten-free flours is so shocking expensive! so I am trying to see if I can buy bulk to keep cost down?

According to my coeliac friends bread is a no go area. Nice glutenfree bread simply does not exist in their opinion (and definitely never ever try the glutenfree + yeast free stuff, it is totally disgusting!).
On the cake front there is better news. Would you be able to use egg replacer like this?
http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/591591_Ener_G_Egg_Replacer___454g.html
I have used eggreplacer in a variety of cakes that were also diary free and gluten free, and never really had a problem. My favourite cook book is "101 Fabulous diary free desserts everyone will love" by Annette Pia Hall. Can definitely recommend the cinnamon muffins on page 136.
The other day a friend of mine made a cake that had to be everything-free (i.e. no gluten, no diary, vegan, no nuts, no yeast, no chocolate, no lots of other things I can't quite remember) and she used bananas instead of eggs. Worked surprisingly well. I can ask the friend for the recipe if you like.

When I was younger I was allergic to wheat, soy, dairy. I was going to suggest using banana or applesauce instead of egg/butter but someone beat me to it. Something like 1/2 banana or 1/4 cup applesauce per egg in recipe for replacement? I don't have recipes I just went by consistency. :o
I used to grind my own flour (I had a hand crank grinder) and would say that rice makes a nice flour for baking, but I didn't like buckwheat because it came out too dense and coarse. Might be good mixed with something, but I never cared for it.

Yep I have been using it since I found out my first child allergy to egg, five years ago. These egg replacer are good for other cooking like batter, etc but not good at rising the cake do they? Our cakes seem to be either half-size or collaspe:o. I have since then move onto not use egg replacer for cakes by going other way like canola oil etc. I got load recipes on these no-egg cakes, biscuits etc. Just ask! Unfortunately I have found some of recipes doesn't work with gluten flour, must be something to do with protein in flours?
Thank you for recipe above, will give it try tomorrow and let you know if work...run out of rice flour :o
