Ok this is a messy-looking pizza – but it’s truly delicious! This pizza has a gorgeously crispy crust around the sides, with a soft centre from the spinach and eggs. You need to be careful when you’re cracking the eggs onto the base but don’t stress about it – this isn’t a tidy pizza in…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Spicy Cauliflower Fritters
Cauliflower works brilliantly with bold, spicy flavours. Its delicate taste and texture when cooked just soaks them in. And it’s a lovely firm vegetable that is substantial – making it a great addition to a gluten-free kitchen. Here I’ve mixed up a batter, using rice flour, gram flour and cornflour, and then sparkling water as…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Asian-Style Kale
The thing is that I don’t normally like kale. Try as I might, it tastes bitter and unappealing to me. But I know it’s packed with nutrients and fantastically good for you. And it’s wonderfully cheap. So I’ve been experimenting with different flavours to add to it and I think I’ve come up with a winning formula!…
Quince Jelly
I went to see Juliet Stallwood, the cake decorator, last week and she gave me some quinces from her garden. Juliet lives in Wiltshire, fairly near to where I grew up in Dorset. It was a beautifully sunny autumnal afternoon and, as I picked up the quinces from her garden, I was flooded with memories…
Kallo Organic Soya Drinks
I’ve been asked by Kallo to be their soya expert for their new range of Organic Soya Drinks. It is incredibly exciting to collaborate with them because they are such a wonderful firm to work with, and the soya milks are great! There are five – Original (sweetened) chilled, Original ambient, Unsweetened chilled, Unsweetened ambient,…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Pork with Fennel
The earthy aniseed taste of fennel goes wonderfully well with pork – and here I’ve used both fresh fennel and fennel seeds, too, to deepen the flavours. Fennel is a brilliant vegetable for people with allergies/intolerances/coeliac disease who experience bowel problem because it is rich in phytochemicals, including quercetin which helps inflammatory conditions and high…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Green Chicken Kebabs
This recipe is adapted from one in Sunil Vijayakar’s The Big Book of Curries. Sunil is a wonderful food writer and stylist whose understanding of how to cook with spices is inspirational. Here he’s used garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and chilli, along with fresh coriander, mint and lime – which is a fairly traditional mixture….
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Fennel, Beetroot & Potato Gratin
The combination of the mildly sweet, aniseed flavour of the fennel, the earthy sweet beetroot and the beautifully bland potatoes in this recipe is wonderful. The creamy sauce with cheese flavour offsets all the flavours and adds a soft richness to the dish. Great for a simple midweek supper, with salad and/or a crunchy…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Japanese Hotpot Soup
This wonderfully delicious recipe is from Beverly le Blanc’s new book, The Big Book of Soups. This book is literally brimming with an incredible variety of soups for all seasons and all occasions – whether you’re looking for a light soup for lunch outdoors on a summer’s day, or a thick, creamy, comfort-soup for when…
Gluten-free and Dairy-free Mushroom Calzone
Calzone is simply a folded pizza. You make a dough (I’ve made a gluten-free and dairy-free one) and then put the filling onto one side, fold the other side of dough over the top, seal it and bake it. Here I’ve filled it with rich tomato, garlicy mushrooms, pungent basil and oozing soya cheese and…
