I have to admit, I’ve had a few baking disasters recently so I was so pleased when this turned out. This tart is absolutely delicious and rather decadent. Yes, there are 3 components; the pastry case, the caramel layer and then the dark chocolate layer but this tart is quite rich and lasts well; in … Continue reading Millionaire’s Pear Tart (GF)

Chocolate-orange cake with ginger icing (GF)
This combination of chocolate, orange and ginger is delicious and reminds me of Christmas. The orange is quite subtle in this; if you don’t like chocolate-orange you can just not include the orange zest but if you love it you can always use more. Cream cheese icing has got to be my favourite and I … Continue reading Chocolate-orange cake with ginger icing (GF)

(If you're not gluten-free just substitute … Continue reading GF Coconut Oat Cookies

I know now that after having my second child (having children is often a trigger) I can't eat gluten or quinoa. It had been a long old road and was … Continue reading Gluten-free mince pies
Gluten-free Banana Cake
This is a really quick and easy recipe, which tastes great no matter whether you are gluten-intolerant or not. No funny grainy textures or anything, just beautifully soft, moist bananery yumminess! I find it's better if cooked the day before you eat it for some reason. I love having a few recipes like this up … Continue reading Gluten-free Banana Cake
