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
First of all I have to apologise for not writing a recipe post for a while. In all honesty, I mainly tend to bake in the Autumn/Winter as it's the time of year when all I want is comfort food. There's something really relaxing about getting out the mixing bowl and having something beautifully aromatic … Continue reading GF Roasted Plum Cake
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
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
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
