10 years ago the gluten free aisle was, well it wasn’t an aisle. It was a corner in the supermarket filled with cobwebs and spiders and if you dared to pull a box off the shelf it would cover you in dust! And that’s all before you even got it...
If you’ve been gluten free for even a hot minute then you’ll likely know how hard it is to work with frozen gluten free puff pastry. Not only is it temperamental as hell, but it’s so hit and miss as to whether or not it will even defrost right! I’ve...
Whether you’re a baker type or not, there is one thing that doesn’t get much better, and that’s homemade pastry. The thing about pastry though, is that it can be rather intimidating. I know it took me quite a while to work up to the concept of making my own....
There are days when I still linger outside my local bakery’s doors. Just sniffing and gazing longingly in their window at all the delicious, warm, freshly baked goodies. Most days I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything but there are still the odd days when I find myself...
February 14th. Valentine’s Day. The day when loved ones run around attempting to impress their potential/current suitor with chocolate deliciousness. You know, like my Gluten Free Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding! I find that these days you pretty much fall into two camps in regards to Valentine’s Day.1. You’re single and...
Can you think of anything more iconic Australian than lamingtons? I mean other than say, thongs, XXXX Gold, Paul Hogan and snags on a BBQ. Nope, I couldn’t either. It’s just one of those things isn’t it. A classic Australian dish that just lends itself to a good cup of...
Being diagnosed Coeliac or Gluten Intolerant can certainly come as a shock. Personally it wasn’t much of a surprise for me, it definitely explained a lot. But after the shock can come the crashing and sometimes devastating realization that you’re going to have to miss out on so many of...
Ahhhh January 26th. Australia Day. An iconic day where we celebrate our nation’s beginnings and embrace our inner bogan…. *ahem* I mean patriot. We Aussies like our Summers hot, our beers cold, our beaches sandy and our bodies bronzed. Well most of us anyway. We also have this little thing...
There are some foods that have the power to evoke a flood of memories, don’t you think? Certain dishes that just remind you of home or a certain place or time in your life that you loved. Sometimes those memories aren’t just of a certain place or time, sometimes they...
I think by now you may have realized that I’m one of “those” people. I LOVE Christmas. Like I mean, really, really LOVE Christmas. And I will find pretty much any excuse to start celebrating early. Be it the Myer Christmas window display going in, or those mellow tunes of Michael Buble’s Christmas carols...
If you’ve been eating gluten free for even five minutes then I’ll bet you know how, average a lot of gluten free store bought food is. Some things just can’t be done gluten free well I can tell you that. (hello gluten free tim tams!) But what if I told...
Now I don’t know about you but I was over the moon, jumping up and down for joy, excited when I heard about Bega releasing their Gluten Free Vegemite last year. Like I started stalking my local IGA and Coles in a hope they would release it onto their shelves!...
I’ve never been one for needing an excuse to treat myself (though I suppose that’s kind of obvious huh!) but without fail every Christmas and New Years I make several trays of Baileys Cheesecake Balls and Boozy Truffles! They just make the perfect addition to any celebration. But let’s not be fussy...
Banana bread, you either love it or you hate it. It’s just one of those polarizing things. But if you love it, well, you’re going to love this recipe (and what are you even doing here if you hate it?). Naturally dairy free my banana bread base is soft and...
Some desserts just can’t be made gluten free, or so they say. When we end up going gluten free we miss out on so many things. So many delicious desserts that people are convinced simply can’t be done. Well I’m here to prove you wrong, (you know just like I...
There are just some things that mean Christmas is only just around the corner. No I’m not talking about when all the shopping centers start playing Christmas carols or even when Santa appears in our malls. It’s that moment, when the tree is up and decorated, when the Christmas carols...
