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.
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.
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.
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.
Java Beef Rendang
This came from a website by Bobby Ananta, but the website seems to be long gone. The end result should be a very flavourful, hot and spicy, dry curry.
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.
Bourbon biscuits
Classic English chocolate biscuits (cookies) – crisp and sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream.
Simple White Bread
A pretty good and simple bread recipe.
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).
