A thick, creamy pate – without any dairy! If you can, use organic smoked salmon for this recipe, and preferably one which isn’t too salty. Not only will this be much healthier but the pâté will taste much, much better. Try this with corn bread or any other gluten-free, dairy-free bread. * gluten-free, dairy-free, yeast-free,…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Pad Thai
One of the most well-known Thai dishes, Pad Thai is a wonderful street food meal. It’s incredibly simple to make and can be whizzed up in minutes. But it’s easy to get it wrong. Too much sugar, too little lime juice, or lacklustre prawns are a commonplace failing. Here I’ve added just a small amount…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Ham & Pineapple Pizza
A while ago, I took Zoe to a pizza-making class at our local farmers’ market. Surrounded by other kids piling on different toppings, Zoe made a very simple pizza, using just pineapple and ham. I asked her whether she wanted to add peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, or anything else, but she was very clear that she […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Roasted Aubergine with Amaranth & Harissa
I’ve had a bag of amaranth sitting in my kitchen cupboard for a while now, so I thought it was time to use it. Like quinoa, amaranth is a true superfood, but unlike quinoa, it hasn’t started to become mainstream – people generally haven’t heard of it and don’t know how to use it. Amaranth […]
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Cannellini Bean, Beetroot & Carrot Soup
This soup came about because of a pile of root veggies sitting in my veggie box. When I have beetroot, I usually bake it and make a salad with avocado, nuts, seeds, that sort of thing. Or steam it and serve it as a veggie. But I wanted to do something different, and this was […]
