Brown basmati, red camargue and wild rice salad

I rustled up this delicious brown basmati, red camargue and wild rice salad the other day. It happened to be the hottest day on record in the UK and the yummy rice salad proved to be the perfect light lunch to enjoy when the weather was a little too hot to handle! This fresh, vibrant […]

Gluten free cheese and red onion buttermilk scones

Gluten free cheese and red onion buttermilk scones

Whilst I’ve already got a popular fruit scone recipe on the blog, I was keen to hunt down a good savoury variation for you to whip up too. I’d also been eager to test out scones made with buttermilk. I felt it would make them a bit squishier inside. I was right…it does!  Googling ‘scones […]

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!).
