Lots of people make the mistake of giving up learning to cook after failing to get a recipe right the first […]
Lots of coeliacs’ lose weight just before they are identified; it is usually one of the reasons individuals go to their doctor, to begin with. As soon as the patient is on a gluten-free diet plan the symptoms disappear, and as a result of better absorption or just eating much more, some people gain way too much weight. Losing weight needs to be based upon eating correctly as opposed to stumbling from one diet plan to another. Watch out for low carb diet plans, as higher healthy protein diet regimens could create acidosis, which in turn can lead to calcium […]
Coeliac disease sufferers experience a digestive condition that forces them to follow a strict diet plan. Coeliac people have trouble digesting any food that has gluten in it, like wheat or grain, barley and rye. Food preparation for people with coeliac disease can be a difficulty. A gluten-free diet plan indicates staying clear of meals that contain gluten like bread, noodles, grain, biscuits and a lot of refined food that has wheat or grain, barley or rye. If they are your staple meals then you have to change your way of living or find different ingredients. To keep variety in […]
For years we have been buying a Gluten-Free pancake batter as when my hubby was first diagnosed we tried a recipe with gluten-free flour and it was horrible. However this year I realised we had run out of batter mix so looked up a recipe again. To my amazement, this recipe really worked and made the most delicious pancakes we have tasted for a long time. The batter mix always used to make the pancakes quite thick, but following this recipe allowed us to make them much thinner and so not as stodgy (also the mix went further which was […]

We recently went to my parents’ house for a meal and as my parents don’t cook gluten-free all the time they sometimes struggle to find new and different ideas for recipes. Puddings are always a challenge as they only have gluten flour in the house and as they like to make things from scratch it can be hard to come up with new ideas. This particular day they tried a variation on one of Stephen’s favourites – Apple and Blackberry Crumble. It proved to be delicious so we thought we would share the recipe for everyone to try. Ingredients 250-300gr […]
Growing up as a child one of my weekly highlights was my Mum’s roast dinner on a Sunday. Especially the gravy that she used to make, so when I grew up and left home this was one thing I made sure I knew how to make so I could carry on enjoying the taste. It was made with flour, Bisto Powder, yeast extract, an Oxo cube and meat juices. When Stephen was diagnosed with Coeliac disease it was apparent that this lovely recipe for gravy could no longer be made and many of the ingredients were not gluten-free. We researched […]

Purchasing gluten-free breadcrumbs can be difficult and expensive. I experimented with making my own and found this recipe to work best.

Ingredients One loaf of gluten-free bread or gluten-free rolls Method Break the bread or rolls into a liquidiser and liquidise until coarse Ensure not to put too many in at a time as the liquidiser will jam Spread the breadcrumbs out on to a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for […]
