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.
GF Milllionaire’s shortbread
A well-established favourite, but what is really needed is the dairy-free (maybe even vegan) version.
Chocolate, salted caramel tart
A great tart for a special occasion.
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.
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).
Simple White Bread
A pretty good and simple bread recipe.
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.
Cinnamon bread
A sweet spicy bread for toasting.
