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..

GLUTEN-FREE BARBADOS BISCUITS

GLUTEN-FREE BARBADOS BISCUITS

I love to cook when I have leisurely time to enjoy it – a quiet Sunday afternoon for instance, when it’s nothing but pleasure to potter in the kitchen, particularly if I’m making small, sweet things. Indulgences. I also love the way that pleasure is amplified when I go to the cupboard some time later and find…Yay! Bikkies in the Tin ….

GLUTEN-FREE FRUIT LOAF

GLUTEN-FREE FRUIT LOAF

As we all know, making good bread without gluten isn’t easy. Even the best of the commercial baker’s efforts, while we’re grateful these days that they’re so much better than they used to be, aren’t, I imagine, like real bread. I look at the amazing sourdough and artisan breads that are around these days, and yes, drool. But enough of that. How about giving this Gluten-Free Fruit Loaf a go? ….
