Gluten free pear cake

Freshly baked pear cake on a blue plate

Updated 1st September 2025 I discovered this rather wonderful pear cake ((Torta di pere e mandorle) recipe by Elisabetta Ludica, on the BBC Food website.

Gluten free scrunch

Gluten free scrunch squares piled up

If you’ve never had the pleasure of tucking into a golden square of scrunch, you’ve been missing a real treat! Scrunch is similar in texture to flapjack, with the same familiar flavours going on too. It’s deliciously crunchy, buttery, syrupy and EXTREMELY moreish (you’ve been warned).

I personally feel the lack of understanding, of how crucial a strict gluten free diet needs to be for people living with […]

Updated 22nd August 2024 My mum used to make raspberry buns a lot when I was younger, as they were one of my brother’s favourite things to have for his supper. I love to make things that evoke happy memories.  I’ve had a go at rustling up gluten free raspberry buns a few times now, […]

So often the recipes I share with you are not about originality but more about rustling up good old classics that I just fancy eating. But it’s funny, how sometimes you forget about things you’ve enjoyed in the past. Welsh rarebit is one of the many delicious things that had slipped my mind, until recently […]

For the last few years, I have ordered myself a Dairy Diary off Amazon (available to order from your milkman too). I love these diaries, as not only do they have just the right amount of space to jot down daily notes, they also have a fabulous hints and tips section and the most appealing […]
