CANDIED QUINCES

Have a jar or two of Candied Quinces in your larder, some whipped cream or ice cream and you’ll have a delicious dessert on the table in an instant. Or use them, as we’ve done, in our Quince and Almond Cream Cake, or our Candied Quince and Ricotta Cake. Try replacing the rhubarb with Candied Quinces in our Rhubarb, Orange and Almond Tart ….

I make a lovely honey mousse – yes, I know I shouldn’t be saying it myself – but it has a really luscious but melting texture..

TIME FOR JAM

n the lead-up to a wedding in the family, (catering for a completely gluten-free reception for 40 people, but more of that later) my husband came home with some shopping, beaming, because he’d managed to score 14 punnets of beautiful strawberries for $7.50...

CRUNCHY BUCKWHEAT CRACKERS

Recipe testing can often yield unexpected results. Some good and some not so good. These Gluten-free Buckwheat Crackers are the result of trying to develop a recipe for crisp, tiny tart cases with the flavour of blinis (buckwheat pancakes made famous by the Russian Tea Rooms in New York and topped with melted butter, sour cream and caviar) ….

GLUTEN-FREE HEMPCAKES

Coming across hemp seeds in the supermarket recently, I had to take some home to try. They’re said to help with weight loss, improve skin, relieve joint pain and arthritis, aid in digestion, lower blood pressure and lots more.

They add a rich nutty flavour and texture to baked goods, as in these thoroughly agreeable Gluten-free Hempcakes.
