For some reason I’ve been craving a coffee cake for months now but I’ve held-off making one as I didn’t think anyone else in my family would eat it. Then came a weekend of rain, football and one boy isolating and I thought now was the time. It also just so happened that I bought … Continue reading Coffee, Chocolate and Walnut Cake (GF)
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)
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)
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 always loved a lemon tart/tarte au citron and now that I’ve been at home for quite a while, I’ve found that I finally have some time and patience to indulge in some gluten-free baking and experimenting. Obviously if you’re not gluten-free you can either use a standard pastry recipe or buy your own … Continue reading Lemon Tart (GF)
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)
Warning: these gorgeous choc-chip, flapjack-like cookies won't last long (not in my or my children's presence anyway!). 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
6 years ago, a couple of weeks before Christmas I went gluten-free.It was a real life-changer as I had been in pain for 4 years. 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
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
