Nut-free Homemade Mincemeat
You can certainly tell that Christmas is just around the corner – this week we’ve got a Nativity play, a Christmas party, a carol service and a Christmas market to attend.
Veggie Kedgeree
Big and Little S aren’t very keen on Indian flavours – they kind of assume that if it looks/smells different then they won’t like it, even before tasting.
Homemade Chocolate Spread
Little S has developed a taste for Plamil dairy-free chocolate spread and has it on her toast every morning over anything else.
Iced Fish-shape Biscuits
As the party took place at a leisure centre they provided the (rather substandard!) food and I didn’t get the opportunity to make a whole party feast of allergy-friendly treats.
Lemon and Lime Cordial
I have no idea why I’ve always bought cordials, they’re so easy to make and homemade can only much more natural and therefore healthy than anything store bought.
Mediterranean vegetable and parsley Pasta Salad
I love parsley – it’s so versatile but can often be overlooked by more flamboyant herbs.
Minty Chocolate Snowball Truffles
The preparations for our Christmas food have now begun! These minty chocolate truffles, coated in icing sugar to resemble snowballs would make a fabulous Christmas gift.
Mince Pie Cookies
Christmas eve is nearly upon us and we need to leave out some goodies for Father Christmas and his reindeer.
Thyme and Redcurrant Gravy
This is an absolutely winning gravy – perfect served with Christmas lunch or a roast, on a pie or with veggie sausages (you’ve got to try my nosages!) and mash.
Celeriac Remoulade
I’ve not often cooked with celeriac – it must be prejudice on my part over the poor celeriac’s gnarled facade , which is utterly silly as its actually really delicious.
Clementine and Lime Cordial
If, like us, you have piles of clementines hanging around after Christmas and you’re a bit fed up with the whole festive thing, you need to use them up fast! Here is an excellent way of using…
Cola Cupcakes to ring in the New Year
I came across the intriguing concept of soda flavoured cakes whilst admiring the cupcakes at the Hummingbird bakery.
Petits Fours/Chocolate Coated Nibbles
These little chocolate coated nibbles are stunning served with coffee, or simply to end a meal.
Coming to terms with a peanut allergy – again!
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will be well aware that both my daughters have food allergies, which has been a big inspiration for this blog and for the way I cook at home.
