  • Gluten Free Spain?

    After trying your amazing brownies (which I reluctantly shared with some friends – but admittedly scoffed mostly by myself!) I just had to find out more about what Gluten free products were available at my local supermercado in Spain. Expecting to find a section dedicated to gluten free foods in the special foods isle I was disappointed to find mostly diet products and diabetic foods. However, passing through the biscuit and cookie isle I spotted this! Gluten free galletas :-)

  • Pizza Express Style Dough Balls

    Garlic Dough Balls gf jpeg.jpgIt's not often that I wake in the night with an aha! moment, but two nights ago, I certainly had one.  I had been deliberating on what to make for a children's tea party on Friday evening.  The mind of a product developer (that's me by the way) works in mysterious ways.   I was thinking of something to serve with a big bowl of pasta and the idea of garlic bread flickered through my mind.

  • Favourite Cookbooks

    stack of books gf jpeg.jpgThere is always a big stack of cookbooks within arm's reach.  I've lost count of how many I actually own  and there are a few  "borrowed" ones as well.  Most go through life sitting happily on the shelf to be retrieved now and then for "research".  The ones I use day in and day out certainly look like they've been dragged around.

  • Unleavened Rice Bread

    The finished result

    I found this recipe in Anjum's New Indian- a cookbook recommended by my lovely Waitrose delivery man.  Anjum (the beautiful lady on the cover and gracing many of the inside pages too) is an Indian version of Nigella. She's a dark haired beauty who can smile and cook at the same time.  Now back to the bread recipe....these are indiviual breads, very similar to parathas, only much quicker and easier to make.  I've had to adjust the recipe slightly ( sorry Anjum, not enough water stated in your recipe honey) but I think it works very well.  I also took the liberty of using my tortilla press and it works a treat.  I've checked the Cool Chile Company website and they are in stock at the moment.  If you've not got a tortilla press, then a plain old rolling pin will work too, but it takes a lot longer.  Serve these with curries, kebabs or anything else you can think of.

  • Coconut rice

    Lovely fluffy rice

    Coconut is a great ingredient for jazzing up plain rice.  I use the creamed coconut that comes in solid blocks as it's very convenient and easy-to-use and perfect for cooking with rice.

    This is my recipe for Asian-style coconut rice and is great with curries and spicy dishes but you could easily adapt it with red kidney beans to make rice for a hot Caribbean feast.
