What is GFDF? Gluten Free Dairy Free. Decided to try playing around with the Gluten Free Pound Cake recipe found on the back of Bob’s Red Mill GF Stone Ground Sorghum Flour since my previous trial of using a mix of the Sorghum Flour and some others for a GFDF starter was not very successful. For future bakes, I would reduce the baking time to … Continue reading Honey Banana Loaf (GFDF)

My usual quick breakfast fix that combines many health benefits including low blood sugar, constipation and possibly IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) was a combination of quick cooking oats, mashed banana, dark cocoa powder & flaked almonds.

Although this easy fruit salad is influenced by a Thai recipe (deconstructed for ease), I am not sure if it could be classified as one. Missing the fresh chilli and chopped peanuts for something with less kick & crunch. I’ve also made this including fresh strawberries & they do add a nice sweetness to the overall salad or relish?

Mince Pies are a very English tradition and is normally served with brandy butter and is really a mixture of dried fruits, candied peel & suet. You can also make your own fillings with or without suet (fats). I usually go for the Robertsons … Continue reading Mincemeat (Pie) Bread Pudding
