Make the glaze too while you wait. Heat the sugar with 20g of water until the sugar dissolves and set the syrup aside. Alternatively sieve out the bits from some marmalade or apricot jam and let it down to a glaze consistency with a little boiling water. Small word of advice, try not to be too daunted by all the ingredients, they all come together beautifully and after a couple of times you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about. Makes about 300g This deliciously fragrant, sweet and lightly spicy sauce is a good stand in for mayonnaise or ketchup in any meal. Although you can make it with fresh peppers, it’s perfect when peppers are out of season, or when you simply don’t have time to roast, de-seed and skin any (which is most of the time for me). I like to eat this with steamed mussels as they do in the Canaries (mejillones al vapor con mojo rojo), spreading a dollop of mojo rojo on my plate and dipping each mussel into the sauce using the shell as a pair of tiny tongs.

Hmm. I was actually hoping for more recipes that are naturally gluten free.....I have two cake recipes, one made entirely with almond flour and the other a flourless chocolate cake, which are extremely easy, delicious, and don't have any extra ingredients like xanthum gel, any husks or seeds. I was looking for more of the same. But instead this is full of extremely well researched looking recipes which duplicate traditional favourites like coffee walnut cake, scones, a lot of different breads, etc.....but the ingredient lists are really long and they are fairly grain heavy, so not too many recipes that are good if you are trying to avoid grains altogether.Scrub the courgettes and peel into long, wide strips with a vegetable peeler. Put a griddle pan over a high heat and griddle the strips on one side, one layer at a time until you can see the char marks coming through on the edges, use tongs to transfer the cooked courgette to a mixing bowl and repeat with another layer of strips. If you don’t have a griddle pan, try cooking the strips under a really hot grill, just until they wilt – you won’t have the char marks or flavour though. I would caution on any recipe that says use almond or coconut flour without changing the amount of coconut flour used. (there are a handful of them). My best guess is that this receipe was not tested with coconut flour. Which has not left me with much confidence when looking at the rest of the book. Mix the flours, tapioca starch, ground almonds, salt, linseed and psyllium together in a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs – don’t go so far that it looks like sand. Stir in the beaten egg with a fork.

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. If using dried yeast, mix it in at this point as well. Otherwise, pour a little of the water over the fresh yeast, mashing it to make a paste. Weeknight dinners, show-stopping Sunday roasts, fuss-free breakfasts, tea-time treats and indulgent puds Before we start with this recipe there are a few things you need to know. As I’m using milk kefir instead of a sourdough starter you might want to know what that is. What is milk kefir?

Divide the fat amongst 10 holes of a muffin tray, or for one large pudding, put it into a 20cm x 30cm roasting tray. Place the tray in the oven to heat up (along with the meat for the last 10 minutes of its roasting time). If you’re not sure what a gluten free flour blend is then read this article: What On Earth Is a Gluten Free Flour Blend? It will help you to understand why your baking doesn’t always work and will save you a lot of money. The secret to great pastry is to keep everything cold and use only your fingers – not your palms, when rubbing in fat. You don’t have to worry about overdeveloping gluten here, but you don’t want to melt the fat into the flour and end up with a greasy lump. It might seem like an awful lot of ingredients, but the finished pastry is short, nutty, buttery and delicious!

Use as per your recipe. Bake for 25-35 minutes 160°C until the frangipane is cooked. Test the frangipane with a skewer and when no wet crumbs come out, it’s done. Very impressed with this book. There's a huge range of recipes, lots of lovely colored pictures of the end results that you can expect - although my cooking never looks *quite* like any glossy image it's something to aspire to, and the information about all the different ingredients is really amazing. I've been cooking gluten free for a number of years and I did not know some of the information that is presented in the first chapters. I know quite a lot so I'm always impressed when there's a quality resource that can teach me some more. I give slightly less of this as it is not as good for piping, so this is just enough to cover the cake. Preheat the oven to 220ºC fan (or 240ºC without fan) and place a tray in the bottom of the oven and a pizza stone in the centre of the oven if you have one. Make crosses on the buns by piping all across one line of buns and then across the other way. Place the buns in the oven and throw some water on the tray in the bottom to create steam – or give three bursts of steam, timed about 4 minutes apart if you have a steam oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the buns are well browned and firm.

make a teacup of strong coffee and sweeten it to taste. Bring to a simmer and stir just until the sugar has dissolved. Add some Kahlua if you like. Cool and use as directed above. Mascarpone cream You’ll find other recipes as I create them in this article: Milk Kefir Recipes & How To Make Milk Kefir. While the dough proves, make the cross. Mix together the cross ingredients, adding enough milk or water to make a smooth, pipeable paste – it will stiffen up a little as it sits. Scrape into a piping bag with a narrow tip and set aside. Pour the gooseberries and dill herb into the jar and cover with the leaves. Pour the brine over the gooseberries until they are completely submerged and the brine is at least 3cm above them. Wedge a weight on top of the leaves, making sure that everything is submerged.

If you’re using pinenuts or cashews, use these raw, for other nuts, toast gently in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until they smell delicious. Be careful not to let them burn. Tip onto a plate and allow to cool. A few years ago I attempted to make a gluten free sourdough starter and keep it alive. Firstly, my house is quite cold for most of the year so that was a problem. The secret to the soft fudgy interior of this cake is precooking the rice flour with boiling water to get rid of any grittiness. The result is deeply chocolatey but not so rich that you can’t slather chocolate fudge frosting on top. You can make it egg free by using a flax egg, but it will be gooier and will need another 10-15 minutes baking. Bake for 1½-2 hours until a skewer comes out clean. Cover with foil if it seems to be browning too much after 40 minutes. Once out of the oven, and as soon as the tin is cool enough to touch, place a piece of foil tightly over the top and leave until completely cold (this softens the top of the cake). Remove from the tin and wrap in greaseproof paper and a double layer of foil.I’m still yet to try the sourdough starter and this is one of my New Years resolutions, slightly apprehensive though....... as if the sourdough bread is as good as the other recipes, I’m going to gain lots of weight.
