Carrot Cake
Gluten-free, dairy-free and just as good as anyone else’s.
Cinnamon bread
A sweet spicy bread for toasting.
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.
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.
Chelsea Buns
Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
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.
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).
Chocolate, salted caramel tart
A great tart for a special occasion.
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.
