Since becoming intolerant to wheat/ processed dairy and processed sugar I’m always looking for a cake that has the taste and mouth feel of a “regular” cake and I’m finally satisfied I’ve cracked it. This is as close to a pound cake as I’ve managed thus far. I can’t tolerate any yoghurt except my homemade […]

Cauliflower Pakora (gluten-free)
I adore deep-fried food. I love fat and oil but since I’ve been steering clear of gluten I haven’t been able to indulge in even the occasional piece of battered fish or a home-made doughnut.

With all the fear and paranoia […]

Gluten-free Banana Bread
My youngest daughter Cherry put me onto this recipe a few weeks ago. Say Banana bread and it doesn’t get me very excited but tasting this, well that was another story altogether. It was good and delicious. I’ve altered the recipe quite a bit from the original but from memory I think this version may […]
