I’ve been meaning to try making my own blini for a while now, to make the most of buckwheat flour being gluten free. I already use it to make galettes (the French savoury pancakes) but I was really pleased when I came across this easy peasy recipe on the Doves Farm website. Blini are traditionally made … Continue reading
Boy no. 1 has been on his gluten free diet for a few months now and is adjusting well. I’ve had to rethink my after work/school weekday teas but there are plenty of things available to replace the old glutenny favourites almost like for like. It’s easy to get hold of gluten free gnocchi, pasta or fish fingers, … Continue reading
I’ve been experimenting with a recipe for gluten free Yorkshire puddings and managed to create a recipe that I think replicates the texture very well, albeit without much of a rise. They look a bit more like concave buns but they taste great. They’re really simple to make because you just lob all of the … Continue reading
I’ve said previously that I think Newburn Bakehouse (by Warburtons) are shaking up the gluten free bread market with some products that are way superior to what was already on the market. I think the little sandwich thins are excellent as the bread to filling ratio is much better than an inevitably dry textured gluten free bread … Continue reading
Waitrose on Ecclesall Road has upped the ante on the Free From front. Last weekend they had a whole end of aisle chiller full of pre-prepared food, which looked like it may be there to stay. On offer were a range of rather exotic sounding Soupologie soups (including curried sweet potato with coconut and cacao, cauliflower … Continue reading
Now one of the boys is gluten free as well as me, I’m having to go back to the drawing board a bit on weekday tea ideas. Previously, I was able to persuade them both to have a hot meal at school a few times a week so I could make something quick and light … Continue reading
There seems to have been a significant leap forward in gluten free products recently. Over the last few months we’ve had Newburn Bakehouse’s crumpets, Pizza Express’ margherita pizza and McVitie’s Hobnobs. And all well timed for me, having a newly gluten free seven year old. I have to say, Newburn Bakehouse has really surpassed itself with … Continue reading
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally got my hands on one of the new Pizza Express gluten free margheritas. After repeatedly being unable to find one at our local big Sainsbury’s store on Archer Road, I got in touch with Sainsbury’s via Twitter and found out you can log a product request, which I … Continue reading
Wednesday evenings are generally when hubby goes out mountain biking, so tea has to be a quick and light meal, either leftovers or something thrown together after work. This week I happened across a new fresh ready meal in the supermarket, so convenience won out over cooking, and also provided a good subject for the … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my top five naturally gluten free products. One of them was these ready prepared Puy lentils from Merchant Gourmet. I just thought I’d share a randomly created meal I used them in this week, as it’s quite quick, nutritious and very tasty. And it’s very colourful – I … Continue reading
