This is perfection for a Summer party or as a vegan or gluten free birthday cake! It takes a little while to set so make sure you start at least 2 hours in advance of when you want to eat it! Rich with nut protein, dates, chocolate and, of course, strawberries, this really hits the spot – cover with edible flowers and leaves and you have a real treat to share. We make this one every year so thought we would share it again!…

Date Slices
This is ideal as an afternoon or morning ‘pick me up’ with coffee. Our date slices are gluten free and vegan (we also have a grain free option) and are packed full of fibre and protein to keep you going. Quick to assemble and cook this is a more interesting option than a flapjack and is really very tasty. …
Chocolate Brownie
Gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and delicious! Who doesn’t like a chocolate brownie? This version has a major advantage of being healthy too. The icing is a nice addition but they’re also great without. You could also make leave these as a fudgey chocolate cake!…
Wild Garlic Frittata
This is basically a glorified omelette, but probably even easier to make than omelette! You can’t really go wrong if you use a non-stick frying pan, you don’t turn it over or anything weird like that and it’s a great warming Spring time dinner. The wild garlic is kept as fresh as possible and adds a subtle flavour, matched really well by the acidity of the capers. …
Pumpkin Croustade
Helen invented this recipe and it’s definitely a winner! It’s a tasty main dish using butternut squash or pumpkin in a soufflé style filling. You don’t need to be too precise with the amount of purée. You can make this recipe grain free using buckwheat flakes, but if oats don’t bother you, use oats! The soufflé filling can be eaten without the base. Cook in a small oven proof dish and serve as a soufflé – easy!…
Gluten Free Pizza
Ok! ‘Pizza’ is a controversial word when it comes to being gluten free. We are really not into ground up cauliflower pizza bases, bases made with eggs or grainy textured crumbly messes! We want a pizza base that is intact enough to pick up and eat with your hands and not too obviously gluten free with the right amount of crunch and softness. We feel we’ve cracked it with this potato scone base pizza! Totally delish! Top with your favourite topping – there’s so many to choose from……
Green Olive Tapanade
This is another version of tasty and super easy to make tapanade. The taste is very different and great spread on a flat bread or a pizza (recipes coming soon!). Shove all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz it up – done!…
Socca (gram flour pancake)
This recipe can be found in various forms around the world and this is our version. Naturally gluten and grain free, it’s an excellent alternative to bread with soup or good in it’s on right with dips. We like to add cumin seed and a dash of ras el hanout while it’s cooking. Serve warm as soon as you’ve cooked the pancakes….
Savoury Biscotti
This is a really exciting recipe and is well worth trying – particularly if you’re looking for an alternative to bread and want something more filling and interesting than an oat or rice cake! The result is a fantastic accompaniment for soup or works as a great snack also. Thorough cooking is a must so that they turn out crisp and crunchy!…
Apple Tart
We’ve had this recipe requested on several occasions because the gluten free pastry is ‘better than normal pastry’! The shortcrust pastry is delicious, crisp and this makes a great tart for dessert or afternoon tea. Bramley apples are the best as the top layer retain their beautiful shape and the underneath go nice and pulpy….
