Review: Helens Gluten Free Bread Mixes
I was recently sent some sampled of Helen’s Brilliant Bread Mixes to try and test (available in Sainsburys). Now I must admit to not usually using a bread mix to make my gluten free, wheat free bread, I use me own recipe and stick it all in the bread machine. So I was intrigued to […]
No added sugar fruity muffins
My toddler has got to the age where she is well aware about the delights of cakes and biscuits. Being a dietitian I’m not keen on her eating lots of bought and sugary snacks, so most weeks we have a baking session. I’m also pregnant at the moment so keen to find myself healthy treats […]
Imam Bayildi (Baked Aubergine Heaven) Gluten and Dairy free.
I love aubergines. Which is an odd thing because as a child I hated them, how tastes and times change. This recipe is a particular favourite of mine, not just because it is fragrantly spiced, softly spreadable and tinglingly tasty….but also because of the style of eating. I am one of those types who likes […]

For Christmas itself we are deserting our friends and going on a large family holiday to Marrakesh, which means […]
Mulled Wine Gravy.
Who doesn’t love a bit of gravy with their roast dinner? Being Wheat intolerant and liking homemade food I stay away from gravy granules and make my own. This week we had some leftover mulled wine and a last minute decision to add it to the gravy turned out to be a very good one. […]
Aubergine Bake for an Aubergine Addict.
It’s no secret that I LOVE a good bargain, last week I picked up Aubergines for 10p, yes you read that right. I’d been saving them and ruminating in my mind about what I should do with them and then got inspired by a chef friend. So here is my aubergine bake. Ingredients (serves 4): […]
