homemade almond milk recipe

Have you tried almond milk before? I hadn’t up until a week ago. This may sound rather strange for someone who has been mostly dairy-free for over three years, but it just always seemed way to expensive to justify buying it and we simply got used to the sweet thinness of rice milk in place of cow. Back […]
bitter orange, rosewater & almond marmalade recipe

When Si came home from work the other day holding a huge box of freshly picked, organic, fluro-coloured oranges, mandarins and tangelos, I knew instantly that I’d have to hide a few to make marmalade. You may remember from last year that I have a wee addiction to making preserves, even though we don’t tend […]
gluten & dairy-free multi-grain bread recipe

You may have wondered to yourself why I never post bread recipes on here. I mean, it’s taken me almost a year to do so! And what is a world without bread?! It’s what every newbie gluten-free person craves and tries to replace right? It’s not that I don’t like making bread, I actually love it […]

It seems almost selfish to be carrying on with life, writing about homemade tomato sauce when the people of Christchurch have had their lives turned upside down for the second time in […]
strawberry + rhubarb jam recipe

I had intended to make and share my recipe for Chocolate Courgette (zucchini) Cake today, but low and behold Kye and I seem to have picked up some bug, so the butter remains on the bench where I left it to soften, untouched. Lucky for me it was Si’s day off today, so Kye and […]
