Welsh rarebit

Welsh rarebit

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 […]

Gluten free pineapple, coconut and fruit loaf

Gluten free pineapple, coconut and fruit loaf

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 […]

Gluten free potato cakes

Gluten free potato cakes

Updated 18th November 2023 Here’s a lovely easy recipe for gluten free potato cakes. I tend to make potato cakes when I have a little bit of mashed potato leftover and would normally just add enough gluten free flour to the cold mash until it feels right. But as I’m now sharing the recipe with […]

Gluten free apple turnovers

Gluten free apple turnovers

I can’t look at an apple turnover without being reminded of the first time I ate one. It was back in the early 80’s and it involved a rather giggly meal at a friend’s house. Which resulted in my friend getting moved swiftly away from the table by her mum, to go and eat her […]

Mini gluten free chicken and ham pies

Mini gluten free chicken and ham pies

It’s funny, how some foods that didn’t thrill me before being diagnosed with coeliac disease, I’ve suddenly become a fan of. Pies being a classic example. Whilst I’ve made lots of large savoury gluten free pies and quiches, I thought it would make a nice change to have a go at making some small individual […]

Gluten free Black Forest gateau

Gluten free Black Forest gateau

I was really happy with how this gluten free Black Forest gateau turned out. The original recipe I used came from the BBC Good Food website, and as with so many standard recipes, with a few tweaks and ingredient checks, it was possible to make it completely gluten free. 

Gluten free Florentines

Gluten free Florentines

Give me a Florentine any day over a cream cake. I just love them. The only problem is, many shop bought Florentines contain gluten, and therefore are off limits for us gluten free gang. But I’ve got some great news, I had a go at rustling some homemade ones up the other day and they […]

Gluten free YUM YUM cake

Gluten free Yum Yum cake

I’m delighted to share this recipe for gluten free YUM YUM cake with you (the name alone makes me happy!). The original recipe for this gorgeous cake came from a little recipe book that belonged to my grandma. It’s one of those books that happened, thanks to various people kindly contributing their favourite recipes. I […]

Gluten free steamed jam sponge pudding

Gluten free steamed jam sponge pudding

Had a little bash at making a gluten free steamed jam sponge pudding the other day and was absolutely over the moon with how well it turned out. The sponge was perfectly light and compared fabulously to ‘gluten filled’ steamed puddings I’d enjoyed many years ago.
