Mom’s Peanut Brittle
This is Derek’s Mum’s recipe and is a tradition for us on Christmas Eve. The quantities are substantial and unless you’re feeling brave with boiling caramel, I’d recommend you halve them for your first few attempts.
Gluten-free Oat Bread
A good-looking loaf of gluten-free bread.
Waffles
Originally from the San Francisco Chronicle we have adapted this for gluten-free eaters. These freeze and toast (from frozen) really well (better than store-bought).
Victoria Sponge Cake
The best recipe for making a Victoria sponge, even though the ratios of ingredients and the mixing method are not quite traditional.
Freezer Cookies
This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
Carrot Cake
Gluten-free, dairy-free and just as good as anyone else’s.
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
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.
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).
