Delicious gluten free canapés – made using Jus-Rol gluten free puff pastry

Gluten free canapés made using Jus-Rol gluten free puff pastry

I do love a good tasty canapé. For me, it’s a perfect morsel to pop into your mouth whilst enjoying a glass of chilled fizz! Canapés make a great pre-dinner starter. Just that bit of something, to ‘put you on’, before heading to the table to tuck into the main meal – giving the designated […]

Comforting cottage pie

My comforting cottage pie

Updated 23rd April 2024 I’ve always loved cottage pie. It’s yet another one of the many tasty meals I grew up tucking into, as it was something that my mum and grandma frequently made.  Cottage pie is such a hearty and comforting meal. And thanks to Steve Wright on Radio 2 talking about the fondness […]

Gluten free at LEON

LEON at Cheshire Oakes

I’d heard great things about LEON restaraunts and their super gluten free offerings. So was delighted to discover that they had opened a branch at Cheshire Oaks (one of my favourite places to shop!). And on Wednesday, after a spot of Christmas shopping with my fabulous buddy Carol, we called in for our tea.

Gluten free cauliflower cheese with smoked bacon

I’ve always loved cauliflower cheese, and as a teenager, often when I arrived home from doing my weekend job in our local village shop, my mum would have one waiting for me. It was one of my absolute favourite lunches and always made me feel special too, as I’d generally have a whole cauliflower all […]

Gluten free creamed mushrooms on toast – with the most wonderful chilli kick!

Gluten free creamed mushrooms on toast

As with many of the recipes I share with you, it’s not always my first intention to do so, but instead, the fact that I’ve just fancied rustling up something particular for myself to eat, and when it turns out great, I get all giddy and think, Oooh, must tell you about it too! And […]

Delicious honey and mustard glazed ham

Honey and mustard glazed ham

Updated 3rd February 2025 I do love to cook my own gammon/ham joint. I think there’s something so satisfying about the process, and it’s delicious! If not using the cooked ham straight away, it’s great to have it in the fridge to slice for sandwiches, enjoy with salad, or tuck into with good old egg […]

Gluten free crispy cheese and onion potato bakes

Gluten free crispy cheese and onion potato bakes with salad and M&S peri peri mayo

The idea for these gluten free crispy cheese and onion potato bakes materialised from making basic potato cakes (which are simply, cold seasoned mashed potato, with a little added gluten free flour/mix, the mixture is then moulded into patties and pan fried…preferably in butter!). So yes, I popped these bakes together the other day and […]
