All is not lost however, as an increasing number of … Continue reading Gluten free Beer?

Gluten free Boiled Fruit Cake
In repsonse to a query, I today trialled a gluten free boiled fruit cake. It is virtually indistinguishable from the cake made from wheat flour. You could use it as a fruit pudding for one meal and then eat the rest sliced as a cake. If you don't want to include the alcohol, just substitute … Continue reading Gluten free Boiled Fruit Cake
Leftover Porridge to make Oat Bread
I don't know about anyone else, but I seem to always end up with leftover cooked porirdge - not much mind you, just enough to think it shouldn't be wasted. (I hate wasting perfectly good food). I've found a really good way to use it up is in bread dough. You can make a large loaf, … Continue reading Leftover Porridge to make Oat Bread
Small Slow cooker – 1.5 litre capacity
This week, after many months of researching and searching, I have finally, finally found a small slow cooker. Up until now the smallest I’ve found is a 3.2 litre capacity.

Seville Orange Marmalade
Yesterday for the first time I made marmalade with Seville oranges. Usually I just use whatever’s available, be they Navels or Valencies, whatever. I have however been told by marmalade connoisseurs and grannies older than myself that Seville oranges are the ONLY orange to use to make traditional marmalade.

Gluten free pasta (from scratch)
I had a request for nmaking gluten free pasta from scratch. I'd not tried this before - Robert dislikes pasta in any shape or form - said it always makes him feel ill.

It's freezing here at Eaglehawk Neck. Despire the fact that we live by the seaside, it is snowing. As yet it's not settling but the temperrature is dropping steadily.
