meera sodha pineapple chutney tzaziki
I should really end that heading with nibbles but instead I leave it blank because this combination goes so well with so many things. We had it with poached salmon on raw dressed spinach, rice noodles and stir fried veg, chicken, fish. You could really use the chutney in place of most other …

It has been a while again, mainly because there has been so much going on. Today I am looking through a window at torrential rain, and apart from the leak which we have discovered (window is new), it is glorious. Right now the rain is aiming at the window so I feel as …

This morning I am a zombie. Last night I ridiculously for no apparent reason woke up at 1a.m. after falling asleep really quickly a couple of hours before! So after the school run I craved a savoury breakfast and this picked me up, albeit not for long enough, but still, I think the combination may …

glutenfree pork steaks pomegranate pork steaks porksteaks
Today I was in Co-op, or ‘Coop’ as my daughter calls it, with her buying bits and pieces for a social distancing picnic down by the river. At a loss for what to cook for dinner, I saw outdoor bred pork steaks which reminded me of this recipe. It is really very delicious and I …

gluten free cookies glutenfree biscuits
Today I was asked for ‘those yummy chewy cookies’ and I really couldn’t remember … so that is where this blog comes into action. The reason I started this in the first place was because of being chaotic and forgetting recipes so for my own benefit I started this because I would not be able …

gluten free leftovers rationing
One of few veg I can guarantee Mats will eat (he is 11), is broccoli. Over enthusiastic about how much he may consume, I had enough leftover for a whole other family lockdown sitting. Turning sadly pale in colour (the broccoli!) in the fridge, this was the answer, this time anyway. And you probably will …
