Gluten Free

Sweet and savoury goodies without a single speck of gluten but loads of flavour.

I don’t have a gluten intolerance but I have friends and family who do and I know some of you, my readers, are gluten free so I try my best to give you a good range of yummy treats, both meals and desserts.

I’ve been very naughty as I’m late to post my potato recipe for the Potato Ho Down I hosted this month. I’ve just been so busy planning for my business trip to London and then actually taking the 24 hour flight that I’ve let it slip by. Sorry Cathy!

I’m excited to share this recipe with you because it uses my very best friend’s best-ever-in-the-world chilli jam. Ju’eta and her talented chef husband Mario make the most wonderful condiments and in my opinion their chilli jam is to-die-for. (more…)

Seriously. I’d become instant friends with someone who served me this dish. Maybe even friends for life.

Although I know this is ridiculously easy to make, the flavour is so gorgeously good that I wouldn’t care they only spent an hour preparing it.

The main reason is because I adore lamb. It’s the juiciest meat that’s best served as pink as you dare. Then when it’s smothered in this fresh mint sauce something magical happens.

Mint sauce is often too sweet and sticky but my version adds freshness without masking the delicate sweetness of the lamb. (more…)
