I do already have a smashing fruit scone recipe on my blog. And of course, it’s also one that can be used to make a gluten free cream tea. But after enjoying a very delicious scone, as part of a gf afternoon tea at Nunsmere Hall, I wanted to share a scone recipe that was a bit fancier. Something that may be fitting enough to hand out at a street party. Celebrating The Queens Platinum Jubilee maybe?!!

Since starting writing my own gluten free food blog, I’ve discovered many inspiring food/recipe writers and cooks; Rosie Birkett being one of them. Rosie is a recipe writer and cook, and it’s her recipe for leek, walnut and two cheese shortcrust tart that I’m about to share with you.
The original recipe for this truly scrumptious leek, walnut and two cheese tart featured in a copy of The Sunday Times magazine. Prior to the magazine being published Rosie shared a picture of the tart on instagram. The tart looked incredible and I knew I’d have to rustle one up. And I’m so glad I did, as this light, crisp, pastry tart filled to the brim with a glorious selection of wonderful ingredients, turned out to be a stunner!

I’m a fan of coconut cake and have wanted to get a recipe for one on the blog for some time. The recipe I’ve gone with is something I popped together as a bit of a trial a few weeks ago and I was delighted with the result.
This gluten free iced coconut cake is quick and easy to make and is the perfect thing to have a go at if you’re new to baking, as all you need to do is pop all the ingredients in a bowl, whisk and bake. And then as is by magic, you will be rewarded with a delicious, soft coconut sponge cake. Yum!

It’s with sheer delight, that I share this truly scrumptious gluten free steamed sponge recipe with you. I have a steamed jam sponge recipe already on the blog, but I know how popular steamed syrup pud is, so I thought you wouldn’t mind me tempting you with this one too.
I was lucky enough to spend a few extremely happy years of my childhood, living in a rather wonderful Scottish seaside town called Thurso. It was whilst living in Thurso that I got to try Scotch pancakes for the first time. And this was thanks to our neighbour, who we affectionately referred to as Auntie Jannetta, popping around to our house and standing at the stove with my mum as they rustled up a batch together.

A few years ago, my cousin Rachel, arrived at one of our family get togethers with a tin full of gluten free ginger biscuits and they were delicious! It turned out, that the original recipe she’d used to make them came from our grandma.
Whilst I had the sheer pleasure of sampling many of my grandma’s homemade bakes, I couldn’t ever remember tucking into her ginger biscuits. So, it was a delight that Rachel had introduced them to me and also passed on the recipe, which I’d now like to share with you.
In 2017 I made the decision to walk away from a job I loved to realise the dream of writing my own blog. I was so fortunate that Neil supported my decision and also agreed that in the short term we could manage without my wage. However, four years on, Neil is getting close to retirement age (!!) and it’s time to reassess our financial situation.
For a nice easy bake and extremely delicious alternative to my frangipane topped mince pies, I urge you to give these mincemeat, cherry and almond swirls a try.
These gorgeous, delightfully sticky, gluten free puff pastry swirls smell incredible whilst they’re baking and are the perfect thing to pop together in a flash, should friends and family drop by. I recommend you make plenty, as these beauties go down FAR too easily!
I always looked forward to tucking into my mum’s homemade Christmas pudding on Christmas Day. In my humble opinion it was, and still is the best Christmas pudding I’ve ever tasted. As my mum’s Christmas pudding was SO good and is one of the many recipes she’d jotted down, I thought I’d give a gluten free version a whirl and see if it was as good as I remembered. It was. And of course, as you know, any recipe success story must also be shared with you.
This Christmas pudding has the most gorgeous rich flavour (thanks to the addition of treacle and dark muscovado sugar), the perfect ratio of fruit and a yummy, squidgy texture, that is delightfully moreish! It’s also nice and easy to pop together and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients.
If you are reading this, I just want to say “thank you”. As if it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have given these delicious banana chocolate muffins a go. Whilst I have a long list of great recipes that I’d eventually like to share with you, I’m always on the hunt for new ones too. Because, although I’m a bit of a food traditionalist at heart, I want my blog to be filled with tempting things that appeal to everyone.
