The Chicken & Tarragon Pie was the first recipe we shot during the day’s filming for Waitrose TV.

Free From Filming Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Seedy Bread for Waitrose TV
A couple of days’ before Easter, I did some filming for Waitrose TV.

Happy Pancake Day! For pancakes with a difference, try these Sweetcorn Pancakes from my book, Simply Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free.

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…
