Don't let the gluten get you down!
If you want to get my book, Gluten-free Baking at Christmas, delivered before Christmas, time is running out to order! I will try to post your book as soon as possible after I receive your order, but of course remain at the mercy of Royal Mail. Low-carb update: 5 months on I am painfully aware…
A gluten-free gnocchi recipe that’s simple enough for easy weekday dinners but impressive enough for a dinner party. Gnocchi are an Italian dish which look like dumplings but are technically a kind of pasta. They are most commonly made with potato, flour and egg, but there are many different types, which often vary by region. Chestnut gnocchi are…
As I wrote last week, being on a low-carb diet seems to be having a very positive effect on my quality of life. I’ve got more energy, my mood is better, and I’m easily losing fat that I haven’t been able to shift for years. I’m experiencing relatively few cravings for carbs, but sometimes it would…
I have never been one for “fad” diets. This partly due to the fact that for much of my life I was involved in a lot of active pursuits – gymnastics, ballet, pole exercise – which kept me in shape. But the more I reflect back, the more I see how the undiagnosed coeliac disease…
This recipe comes from my latest eBook, Gluten-free Bites: Backyard BBQ. If you like the recipe, please consider buying the book and help support this site! The recipe does call for a lot of ingredients – but don’t worry, once you’ve got everything together it’s actually quite simple to prepare, and most of the work is done before you heat the…
In June I was feeling spontaneous and wanted to treat myself after completing my most recent book, Gluten-free Bites: Backyard BBQ, so I booked a trip to Iceland. I have two very good friends there who I hadn’t seen since December 2012, when I visited Iceland for the first time. Back then I had planned to blog…
The weekend before last I travelled to London for the Allergy & Free From show hosted at Olympia. For those unfamiliar with the show, it is a giant food exhibition from the biggest and brightest Free From producers in the UK, Europe, and beyond. If you’re Charlie, then the Allergy show is the Chocolate Factory. Long…
Despite the unseasonably cold Spring, I’ve been having barbecues for MONTHS. I’ve had so many barbecues I’m sure my neighbours think I’m mad. You see, I’ve been working on a cookbook filled with delicious gluten-free recipes for the grill, and I’m so excited to announce that it is now available to purchase on the Kindle…
Last year, McDonald’s trialed gluten-free buns in five of their branches across the Netherlands. My closest was in Zaandam, so of course it warranted a field trip out there to try them. Now, they are extending their gluten-free availability to 50 branches nationwide, including one right next to Amsterdam Centraal station! This is great news…
I am starting to dread the SCC (Standard Coeliac Conversation) that happens at most social gatherings. No matter how much you might not want to talk about it, it invariably comes up whenever you refuse a repeatedly offered “desirable” food item (pizza, cookie, birthday cake). Person: Want a piece?
