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)
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
Well, it's been a while since I did a food post so I thought it should be a good one! I don't think it's much of a secret that Heston Blumenthal's "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental near Hyde Park is pretty good but I thought I'd share my experience anyway. This was the third time I've … Continue reading Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London
This is the third time I've been to Rick Stein in Marlborough, so I thought I'd do a quick mini-post. Based in the small market town of Marlborough in Wiltshire it is not far from the prehistoric site of Avebury (also worth a visit). The restaurant is in a historic townhouse over two floors and in … Continue reading Rick Stein, Marlborough 🇬🇧
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
Helene Darroze's 2 Michelin Star restaurant at The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair has been on my 'to eat at' list for quite some time.So when I just happened to be in the area the other week I thought I'd try my luck at dropping in & seeing if they had a table. (As a side note … Continue reading Helene Darroze at The Connaught
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
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
To follow on from my previous post on Soho Farmhouse about the accommodation there, I thought the food deserved a post in its own right. To eat there you either need to be staying, a member of Soho House or a guest of a member. We were staying, so managed to use all the facilities … Continue reading Eating at Soho Farmhouse
