Gran’s Ginger Biscuits
A recipe I inherited from my grandmother that works surprisingly well with gluten-free flour. They can come out sticky or rock-hard depending on just how much syrup you use (the tablespoon represents the spoon my grandmother would have used, not a exact measure).
Gluten free Bread and Butter Pudding
Not pudding in the american sense – or maybe in the half-way sense. Anyway, this is ‘The Pudding Club’s recipe for bread and butter pudding made with gluten free bread.
Gluten-free, Dairy-free Christmas Cake
This is a blend of the most successful Victoria sponge recipe (soon to appear here) and a traditional Christmas cake recipe.
Freezer Cookies
This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
Simple White Bread
A pretty good and simple bread recipe.
Candied orange peel
These are best made with Seville (bitter) oranges, but it might also be good to mix these with some sweet oranges for a bit of variety. The finished peel can be dipped into chocolate if you are after something more special.
Muffins
These muffins are our gluten-free staple, good made with blackberries, cranberries, raspberries and blueberries (not strawberries though). There are also pear and ginger muffins, cinnamon pecan muffins, lemon poppy seed muffins and other inventions yet to be imagined:-) All can be made by adapting this basic recipe.
Lemon Chiffon Cake
Inspired by Ravneet Gill’s recipe (https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/mar/15/lemon-chiffon-cake-recipe-ravneet-gill ) but adapted to 1/4 the size and to be gluten and dairy free.
Lamb barbacoa with chickpea puree
Yahir Gonzalez, Zapote, London I ate at Zapote recently and the Lamb Barbacoa was fantastic – well everything was in fact. Highly recommended. This recipe
