Making nut milks - almond, hazlenut etc
Published 21 November, 2008
Almond milk is nice. Hazlenut (filbert) milk is even nicer, especially in a latte. But the trouble is, when you buy them in cartons they come laced with corn maltodextrin and other nasties that I don't want to be ingesting. They may be gluten free, but who knows just 'how' gluten free? So I... Continue Reading
Lamb & Sweet Potato Pate
Published 8 September, 2008
It was another of those 'what the heck am I going to have for breakfast' mornings. The fridge was bare apart from some leftover lamb. There were a couple of wrinkled looking sweet potatoes in the cupboard. What was a starving coeliac to do while the kids tucked into steaming hot rice and... Continue Reading
Sweet potato mash with fennel
Published 2 September, 2008
I've followed this Gordon Ramsay sweet potato recipe a few times, but there comes a time when every man must go it alone. So I tweaked it. Not radically, I'll admit, but noticeably, and with the dover sole I ate it with, I might even go as far as to say it was better. (Don't tell Gordon ;)... Continue Reading
Savoury gluten free muffins
Published 26 August, 2008
I must admit, I'm a latecomer to the concept of savoury muffins, gluten free or otherwise. Apart from your standard cheesy muffin, I've never really come across them - don't know if they're an American thing or what.
Anyway, as I often do, to escape from the corner that various food... Continue Reading
So easy dairy free rice pudding recipe
Published 20 August, 2008
Dairy free gluten free wifie is a bit of a fan of the rice pudding, but since the dairy intolerance was diagnosed, we've not been able to make a properly creamy one.
However, a moment of inspiration in the supermarket the other day led to this tasty little number, that does everything a real... Continue Reading
How to eat gluten free in Majorca
Published 11 August, 2008
Majorca (Mallorca) is a favourite holiday destination for us Brits. And now we coeliac Brits can be confident in eating gluten free when we get there.
Carmen Barcelo contacted me recently to ask if she could use the Spanish gluten free restaurant card in the book, and now she's completed it,... Continue Reading
The best gluten free biscuits ever?
Published 9 August, 2008
Oh the joy. After years, nay decades, of toil and torment, I've finally made a gluten free biscuit that makes gluten-eaters sit up and take notice.
Don't get me wrong, this ain't no fancy-pants spiced creamy foo-foo biscuit. This is a down-to-earth, honest-to-goodness gluten free biscuit.... Continue Reading
Breakfast lentil dal
Published 9 August, 2008
Breakfast lentil dal??? :) Yep! Apparently it's quite a fave over in India, and with my gluten-free, yeast-free, everything-else-free breakfast options becoming more and more limited, I thought I'd see if I could knock together something lentilly and breakfast-friendly. Which means not too... Continue Reading
Fennel and samphire fishcakes
Published 30 July, 2008
I've always been found of the humble fish cake but today the fish cake I'm making is not quite so humble. After dinner tonight we had some roast fennel and some sun fire grass left over. I know fancy you and some and also some salmon and some place. So I've whipped them all together into... Continue Reading
Cooking chard, kale, spinach… all things green
Published 29 July, 2008
At this time of year, our garden is bursting with greenery - chard, beets, kale, cavelo nero, perpetual spinach... it's a veritable forest of tasty and nutritious leaves. But what to do with it all? Fresh green from the garden are great for coeliacs of course, with their high calcium content and other useful bone minerals, but when you've got as much as we have, you need some seriously creative recipes to avoid getting bored with them.
Gluten free meme blog thing
Published 23 June, 2008
This is a heads-up to those of you who like to discover new gluten free blogs. Cheryl at gfandhealthy has added my blog to her meme (I had to read up on what one was too). I should create one myself, but I can't spare the time just now (thankfully they don't have any of the downsides of... Continue Reading
Gluten free yeast free bread rolls (and loaf!)
Published 12 June, 2008
You're not going to believe just how bready these yeast free marvels are! You could probably make a decent loaf from them too, but I don't bother these are so good.
TRS Sorghum flour NOT gluten free
Published 7 June, 2008
I'm always on the lookout for new gluten free flours to use in baking, but have never been able to track down sorghum flour in the UK (also known as juwar or jowar flour). I was somewhat elated therefore, to find TRS Juwar flour, the only ingredient of which is sorghum. Now because this isn't marked 'gluten free', I ran a Haven gluten test on it, and I'm glad I did.
Gluten free egg free pancakes
Published 7 June, 2008
I like to make breakfast pancakes for the family once a week, and am always messing around with different mixes of gluten free flours. (Which makes my pancakes somewhat unpredictable :-) This mix is the best yet, and will take some beating.

Slow Cooked Venison and Rhubarb Stew…. gluten free of course
Published 22 May, 2008
Everyone has one lurking at the back of their cupboard. If not their cupboard, then perhaps an older relative. Slow cookers were in vogue in the 70's but became dust catchers as people moved on to newer cooking methods, such as the revolutionary microwave oven.
In a fit of nostalgic... Continue Reading

Sweet potato muffin recipe
Published 16 May, 2008
I was shocked when I heard you could bake muffins with sweet potatoes. So I made some, and you know, they're not half bad.
