Another Christmas challenge – a gluten-free and dairy-free alternative to sausage rolls and savoury cheese pastry sticks. Something like the “mouth-feel” of pastry, with a satisfactorily savoury tickle for the tongue?
These “flapjacks” disappeared pretty well as fast as the sausage rolls. (more…)
Pastry’s easy … until you need to provide a gluten-free and dairy-free alternative. Something of a challenge at Christmas time?
But these “sort-of” mince pies turned out much nicer than my normal puff-pastry ones – and disappeared faster. (more…)
“Sinfully” rich. A succulently moist chocolate cake fit to serve as a pudding on the Christmas table. And yet – it is gluten-free, dairy-free, has no added fat, and is reduced in sugar. How on earth can virtuous eating be so sinfully gorgeous? (more…)
Just as startlingly good as the mashed potato and polenta version, but based on an even more surprising ingredient – a tin of beans! Think cannellini, haricots – or any white bean.
Not only gluten-free, but dairy-free as well. (more…)
These work. I would happily serve them to anybody at any time. No “second-best” dry, sandy-textured imitations of the “real thing” for the “awkward guest”! Good eating for breakfast. (more…)
Not so rich as “real” ice cream, and with a fresher, sharper flavour. (more…)
Basically cauliflower and onions (and a few other veg) pickled in a mustardy sauce, hot and sour on the tongue, with a crispy bite. (more…)
Quick. Simple. Savoury. Definitely my favourite recipe for sardines. (more…)
