Having seen a couple of people recommend it, I decided to bag myself a copy of Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar. If the concept of reducing or eliminating sugar from your diet is totally new to you then you would definitely learn a lot from this book. If you are interested in making some positive … Continue reading MEAL-IN-A-BISCUIT CRACKERS

MOLLY CAKE
This is my go to cake if I want an indulgent, yet guilt-free, treat. This unique cake ticks so many boxes for me; it is both egg and dairy free and has the added bonus of being both fat and refined sugar free. However, the natural sugars provided by both the dates and dried fruits … Continue reading MOLLY CAKE
SUPER SOFT GLUTEN FREE BREAD
For a long time I have been very anti the use of eggs in bread mixes, for two reasons; firstly I suffered from a nasty egg allergy for 15 years and secondly, well, eggs are for cakes, not bread. Thankfully I have recently established my egg allergy has corrected itself, which is wonderful given the … Continue reading SUPER SOFT GLUTEN FREE BREAD
WET WALNUT & CARROT CAKE
My husband always likes to say 'there is no such thing as bad cake'. Fifty years ago Mr Kipling took this to a whole new level with his slogan promoting his 'exceptionally good cakes'. Of course we are all now very mindful of the fact that we need to watch our sugar intake owing to … Continue reading WET WALNUT & CARROT CAKE
Gluten Free Cheesecake
This is probably one of the most indulgent cheesecakes I have ever tasted, yet it’s totally vegan and gluten free. I made this for a dinner party and popped what we didn’t eat into the freezer so we can enjoy it at our leisure. The ingredients are quite costly, especially if, like me, you try … Continue reading Gluten Free Cheesecake
SUPER MOIST GLUTEN FREE BANANA BREAD
Life is all about balance and I'm a great believer in the 80/20 rule when it comes to food; eat like an angel 80% of the time but allow yourself the scope to go off the rails for the remaining 20% of the time. In our house we try to behave ourselves on the weekdays … Continue reading SUPER MOIST GLUTEN FREE BANANA BREAD

I’m beyond excited to share this recipe with you! Ask most coeliacs and anyone with a gluten intolerance what they miss most and top of the list is bound to be bread. Most things you grow used to going without; cakes, biscuits, pizza, even most chips now served by restaurants contain the dreaded gluten. We … Continue reading THE BEST GLUTEN FREE LOAF

GLUTEN FREE LINSEED LOAF
The Australian baker and food writer Dan Lepard first introduced me to the concept of using linseeds in gluten free bread. Once toasted, the husks on these humble little seeds burst open and release a sticky, gluten-like gel once introduced to water. They also taste divine. The first time I attempted to bake a loaf … Continue reading GLUTEN FREE LINSEED LOAF
