I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to make this beautiful cake. It’s such an easy bake and has very few ingredients. Having visited the stunning Perigord region of France last Summer (see my travel post here), I couldn’t stop dreaming of the breakfasts we had at this little B&B tucked outside the medieval town … Continue reading Gf Walnut Cake
I have literally just whipped these up after realising we don't have much variety of breakfast things for tomorrow. It's a small miracle that they've been a success as it's the first time I've tried making them; I'm just concerned now that there won't be any left for the morning (food doesn't last long in … Continue reading GF Blueberry Muffins
This is a great dessert for sharing as it feeds 10-12; perfect for this busy time of year. I think it's a more interesting take on the classic pavlova as it features chocolate meringue and amazing velvety chocolate creme patissiere. I cannot take the credit for this recipe as it's my gluten-free adaptation of Nigella's … Continue reading Chocolate Pavlova (GF)

I can't take credit for the recipe as it's my gluten-free adaptation of Annabel Karmel's 'Coconut Kisses'. Do use the GF brands that suit you, as I'm aware everyone has different sensitivities. (If you're not gluten-free just substitute … Continue reading GF Coconut Oat Cookies
Making Rocky Road is hardly rocket science but I thought I'd share my gluten-free recipe as I found it tricky getting the right biscuits and the right balance of ingredients. Children and adults love Rocky Road so I wanted to make a version that we could all eat. Even though it's gluten-free, my Rocky Road aficionado/ eldest son … Continue reading Gluten-Free Rocky Road
Ok, so I know this sounds weird to some people but you know how great salted caramel and salted chocolate tastes, then you have to try this?! For those who don't like salt & sweet, this is still really good without the salt (similar in a way to treacle tart). For this reason, I actually serve … Continue reading Gluten-Free Salted Honey Pie
