In the grocer in Sturminster Newton yesterday I found fresh turmeric. Only that morning my mother was saying she wanted to eat it to help various ailments. So as luck would have it ….

I have been making this bread for about a year. Today I ran out of Sorghum flour and replaced it with Millet flour. The result is amazing! It is so light and so delicious. The ingredients make 2 loaves. I added cheese to the second loaf and it was eaten up in one sitting. If …
I really miss crumpets and I also miss marmite. Marmite is not gluten free! Who’d’ve thought? Anyway, this photograph shows the bread toasted with salt and pepper, … and you can of course add whatever you want. I prefer this toasted; with honey or jam is good too. Today however I am in a salty …
