Free From Filming Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chicken & Tarragon Pie for Waitrose TV
The Chicken & Tarragon Pie was the first recipe we shot during the day’s filming for Waitrose TV. It was the first time I’d done anything like this, and it was completely fascinating how the whole filming process rolled out. Once I’d had my hair and make-up done (very nicely!), I went through the order…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Salmon Fishcakes
Soft, tender salmon with a deliciously crunchy coating. It’s the polenta – or maize flour – which makes these so crunchy and delicious. It is worth using the gram flour, too, as a base coat, but if you don’t have any to hand you could use rice flour or just use polenta for both coatings. And…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Paella
If you’ve been watching What’s Cooking on Channel 4, you may have seen Jo Pratt cooking up a storm during the first week.

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Asian-Style Poached Chicken & Pak Choi – in a Slow Cooker
Recently I worked with Beverly le Blanc on her brilliant new book, I Love My Slow Cooker, which was published last month. She very kindly gave me one of the slow cookers she’d bought to do all the testing and didn’t need any longer (many thanks, Bev!!) so I’ve been having a lovely time trying […]
