I did some baking for the office last night with the aim of raising some cash for the Cancer Council NSW. The first batch I made was a complete cheat – Basco’s Golden Butter Cake, which I swirled raspberry jam through before I popped them into the oven. I also added raspberry jam to the …

Ok, so I really wanted to do a ‘professional’ review of the products I’ve tried from the Byron Bay Cookie Company. They did, after all, send me free gluten free products to try. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not, and never will be, a professional critic who can write ‘professional’ reviews. …
I used to love having muffins for breakfast, however all the recipes I have contain oats. With no satisfactory substitute for oats, I had pretty much given up on having nice (and healthy) muffins for breakfast. Last night I was browsing through Marie Claire’s Kitchen, and found gorgeous looking breakfast muffins. I tried the apple …
I really felt like dessert the other night, but didn’t have anything around, and certainly didn’t want to wait the time it would take to make something proper. So I flipped through some cookbooks and devised this. Cut The Pastry Pantry chocolate pastryinto squares and bake for about 10 minutes in a 180*C oven. Mix …
It’s been three years in the making, but finally my GF friend and I had a lunch date at Restaurant 317 in Parramatta. And it completely lived up to our overblown expectations. We shared a seafood platter and GF garlic bread, followed by BBQ chicken and Mediterranean gluten free pizza. The food was glorious, delicious, and tasted quite ‘normal’. … Continue reading

As only a dedicated gluten free website and magazine can. yum. gluten free magazine is “the latest Australian online magazine celebrating, exploring, understanding, informing and reviewing anything and everything gluten free.” It is an absolutely stunning magazine that is the delicious. magazine … Continue reading
Belinda Jeffery understands me. I’ve been known to finish making a cake, and then realise I didn’t pre-heat the oven. My argument is that you shouldn’t have to skip to the end of the recipe to find what temperature you need your pre-heated oven needs to be, and that it should be the first step … Continue reading
It’s Coeliac Awareness Week this week, and as a happy ‘my week’ and quarter year resolution I’m picking up where I left off with this blog. I’ve realised that I’ve not touched this blog in over 18 months, which is just sad. So to start off, here is my gluten free mint slice. This recipe was … Continue reading
I’ve been enjoying fresh sandwiches lately. Yes. You read that right. Fresh Sandwiches. Amazing right? A few cafe’s that I’ve been to recently make their own gluten free bread (Cafe at the top of the Skyline in Queenstown; Cafe Dendu in Ultimo) which is just like having fresh multigrain ‘normal’ bread, albeit a little more … Continue reading
I’m going to start blogging regularly again, and try taking a new and improved direction that is hopefully more balanced and interesting. Let me know what you think! Continue reading
As most Coeliac’s in Sydney were aware, Healthy Feast were an amazing and delicious company who made sweet and savoury, 100% gluten free (and often dairy free) goodies. Sadly they closed their doors in Leichardt, and I lost my very favourite place to get an orgasmically good sweet treat, delicious pies, quiches and bread. The really, … Continue reading
I’ve made this cake a few times now, and keep coming back to it because it’s fast and easy and works out well every time. I’ve varied between icing it with a sour cream chocolate ganash (dark chocolate with a couple of tablespoons of sour cream added to taste), and going with the recipe suggestion … Continue reading
I received my latest Gluten Free Eating Directory newsletter and found that they have a couple of fabulous specials running. The one I’m most interested in is for The Meat & Wine Co, because it’s local to me, but if you haven’t already go and check out the Gluten Free Eating Directory and subscribe for … Continue reading
I first posted about rice pudding back in 2009, and having pulled out these recipes as porridge substitutes now that the weather is getting colder again, I thought I should re-introduce you again. The below recipe is one of my favourites, but not one of the healthiest (I’m sure I could tweak it by skipping … Continue reading
