Any fruit will do – the point really is the crumble topping. We really missed crumble at the beginning of being gluten free and now we don’t. (I am making it sound as if we eat this all the time – it is an occasional treat!) Only Olivia and I are gluten free and the …
This is so similar to the Rhubarb pie that it is hardly worth posting, but the reason I am is that it is a pastry-less version which my daughter prefers. She is strictly gluten free so all of these are with her in mind, and me as I think I am where she gets it …
Home schooling means constant cooking and not just any old speedy salad I may give myself when on my own. So with it has come ideas and this one is a winner. My daughter could not help but add an audible ‘mmmm’ as she ate it; need I say more?

Okay, so I am RUBBISH! I think that I will be really good and post many many recipes and then I get distracted and I don’t! This time I have been distracted by moving to Canada which may not happen because of the plague that has struck us all. So here I am in lock …
This is an adaptation of Jason Goodwin’s poppyseed cake only insofar as this is gluten free and has lemon added. Very delicious and will last longer than your average cake because it is more or less saturated in sugar syrup.
Ingredients
For Syrup
300g granulated sugar
375ml water
juice of 2 lemons
Cake
200g granulated sugar

I bought some strawberries which really had to be eaten last night but in my absence at a book talk in Bath by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver of St John London, they were not. So by this morning they had to be eaten straight away or be made into something. So this is …
Autumn raspberries put to good use. Admittedly this is a bit of a faff, but the component parts can be made in advance, and assembled last minute. I have Leiths to thank for the recipes, having had a moment of remembering the most delicate biscuit I have made. Definitely worth the trip.
Pâte Sablée
285g plain flour

I stupidly forgot to take a picture of this in its entirety so here we have a snapshot taken this morning by Mats, my son, who had it for his breakfast. Last night he begged and begged me to cut into the beautiful tart (I promise it was beautiful once!) and I bribed him with …
We were given this delicious cake/bread in church in Canada 6 hours north of Montreal, off the St Lawrence River, where only during the summer its doors are opened with a visiting vicar. Someone brings in something delicious each week and this is one of them. Whether a churchgoer or not, yummies and ‘cook outs’ …
We are going on holiday in August and I am determined to use up all we have in the fridge and larder. For some reason I had an awful lot of yoghurt, courtesy of my son who pops all sort into the shopping trolley and by the time we have made it to check-out, I …
