I wanted to share with you, that when I have friends over for lunch or dinner and I make pasta, I always use gluten free pasta, and no one has ever noticed!
Yesterday I made tomato sauce from tinned tomatoes, chopped garlic, a pinch of sugar, a punch of basil and tomato puree (and let it reduce over a low heat). I added sliced carrots and thinly sliced broccili stems. The result was a thick tasty sauce full of goodness and flavour. I then added some roasted chicken and cracked pepper and served with a big salad of mixed leaves, tomatoes, artichokes and toasted seeds, I usually add some anchovies, but I know not everyone likes them so I made them available on a separate plate. For dressing I usually use olive oil, cracked pepper and a lots of squeezed lemon juice and a few basil leaves or mint leaves.
Enjoy your food, if you batch cook sauces it can save lots of time and money too!

After inviting my friends for dinner, I needed to find a completely gluten free dessert. I set to task with my Mrs Beeton’s cookery book to see if she could inspire me. I converted an old crumble recipe as follow:
Ingredients:
4 oz butter (cold)
6 oz Flour (I used a combination of corn flour and gram flour and ground almonds)
3 oz of sugar (you can use any type of sugar – I used golden caster sugar and some brown sugar)
3 gluten free ginger snap biscuit crumbs (Lazy Days brand) whizzed up in the processor
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
A little water to add to the fruit before cooking
16oz of fruit (frozen is fine) I used frozen and added a few apples and blackberries which I had in the fridge, you can use up any odd bits of fruit, rhubarb works well with strawberries.
Oven preheated to 150 (gas)
In an oven proof dish, add a selection of fruits to fill 2/3 of the way up.
In a large bowl add the butter, sugar and flour mix and rub together to form breadcrumbs. Once you have achieved this, add the spices and biscuit crumbs and mix together gently, poor the crumb mixture over the fruit making sure all the fruit is covered. Press down to compact the mixture.
Cook for 30mins or until brown and bubbling (middle of oven).
Serve with booja booja ginger ice cream. Yummy!!!

Sweet Potato Winter Warmer!
A sweet potato soup with chilli and ginger is blended until smooth to serve:
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes peeled and roughly chopped
1 large white potato peeled and roughly chopped
1 pint of chicken or vegetable stock add more if required
1 dessert spoon of grated ginger (add more if you like it hot)
1 small red chilli finely chopped or 1/2 teaspoon of hot chilli powder
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic crushed
1 dessert spoon of coconut oil
In a large saucepan, add the oil onions and garlic. Soften over a low heat until the onions and garlic are clear and not brown. Then add all the vegetables and cook for a further 10 minutes until the vegetables are softening.
Add the ginger and chilli, and stir. Add the stock and cook until the vegetables are soft. Taste and add a little salt and pepper and if too spicy a little sugar (just a little bit!).
With a hand blender, smooth the soup and serve.
Lovely with some toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds and a dusting of paprika.
For added antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits add a teaspoon of turmeric before you blend.
I would be booja booja maple and pecan ice cream flavour….
Because, it’s amazingly tasty, it’s raw, it’s healthy, it’s smooth and it looks fabulous with some gluten free ginger cake…
What would you be?
For those of you who remember the clangers, you will understand the title.
Soups are a great way to get lots of vegetables into your diet.
One of my favourite soups, which is really simple is leek and potato soup, all you need is some leeks and potatoes and some stock, infact some recipes use just hot water.
Try this:
3 large leeks, washed and trimmed and chopped into small pieces
2 potatoes (baking) peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 pint of stock (vegetable or chicken)
In a large saucepan, melt a knob or butter and place all the leeks into the pan. Stir, making sure they don’t brown. The idea is to soften the leeks. This will take no longer than 10mins.
Add the chopped potatoes and make sure they get well covered with the leeks and butter. Cook gently for a further 10mins, making sure not to brown the leeks.
Add the stock, and cook until the potatoes are cooked. Let the soup cool, then add some salt and pepper to taste, #Alpro natural yoghurt works well to bring some creaminess . If you would like your soup smooth, use a hand blender to smooth the soup, otherwise reheat and serve with some mini salad sandwiches with egg and watercress and a splash of olive oil.
