I struggle to find nice GF crackers for having with dips or cheese. I’ve long been jealous of the selection of pretty seeded flatbreads and crackers available for the gluten-tolerant but there is no good substitute. Oatcakes can be a bit too heavy and aren’t the prettiest. Back in Australia we used a lot of the […]
Zucchini/Courgette. I’m getting so muddled up about what names I am meant to use since moving to the UK. Peppers seems to be sticking but I can’t seem to bring myself to say Courgette or Mange Tout (what’s that all about?). And don’t get me started on onions; I still can’t work out what’s what […]
Have you tried Pumpkin Pie? I remember the first time I tried it, the idea of pumpkin in a pie as a dessert just didn’t sound right but I soon swallowed my words. It’s smooth and creamy with a delicate balance of sweetness and spice, not overly rich and a little too easy to eat. Those […]
This isn’t a recipe per se, just something I’ve been doing a bit lately so I thought I’d share it with you. Roasting whole bulbs of garlic, the fragrance is incredible and it completely mellows out that sharp garlic bite. Isn’t it pretty? Here’s just a few of the things you can use it for: […]
Let’s face it, being gluten free can be the pits, especially when it comes to bread. I confess that we often fall back on store bought GF bread, which is choc-full of sugar, but I have the best of intentions at being more organised and making it regularly. Problem is I’ve yet to find a […]
A couple of weeks ago we discovered a lovely farmer’s market in Kingston-Upon-Thames. The produce was all quite fresh and a lot cheaper than the supermarkets. I quickly loaded up the bags with fresh fruit, vegetables and some whole trout. By the time I had finished my shopping both punnets of blueberries had been eaten by […]
I’ve never been the biggest fan of muesli bars. Some are nice but they’re often quite high in fat, salt and sugar. However my daughter is gluten-free and she has to take something to school for her afternoon snack which is healthy, nut-free, and will keep for the week out of the fridge. She is […]
It’s times like this I’d trade my right arm to be able to eat gluten. The Husband declared it to be “the best focaccia ever”. It smelled amazing and was so easy it seemed criminal. If you’ve never got your bake on before I highly recommend this as a starting point. You won’t be disappointed. […]
