A hearty, warming and richly-flavoured gnocchi. This is a seriously substantial meal. If you can get fresh wild mushrooms, this will make a huge difference.

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Paella
If you’ve been watching What’s Cooking on Channel 4, you may have seen Jo Pratt cooking up a storm during the first week. I first met Jo a few years’ ago, when she was planning her first (gorgeous-looking and hugely successful) book In the Mood for Food. She wrote another after that, went off and […]
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Asian-Style Poached Chicken & Pak Choi – in a Slow Cooker
Recently I worked with Beverly le Blanc on her brilliant new book, I Love My Slow Cooker, which was published last month. She very kindly gave me one of the slow cookers she’d bought to do all the testing and didn’t need any longer (many thanks, Bev!!) so I’ve been having a lovely time trying […]
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Amazing Roast Pork – with Crispy, Crunchy Crackling
I’ve just spent a wonderful week off work – at home hanging out with Peter and Zoë, and with friends – and cooking an array of meals. Ahhh…. One of the meals I cooked was the Roast Pork Loin from Johnnie Mountain’s book, Pig, (he’s the guys who’s starring on Chef Wars in the…
Leemei Tan’s Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Malaysian Coconut & Lemongrass–Scented Rice with Squid Sambal
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, making the same spice paste over and over again. So I tried a new one to make this recipe – from Leemei Tan‘s Lemongrass & Ginger. I have an all-time favourite Thai green curry that I make that is hard to drag myself away from. But it…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Pak Choi-Wrapped Fish
Spring onions turned up in my veg box this week and it made me think of lighter, Asian-style food. I’ve been meaning to try this idea out for a while, but it’s felt too wintery recently. But as the blossom is now in full bloom on the trees and the weather has turned warmer, I…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Roast Leg of Lamb with a Pine Nut & Herb Stuffing
It’s totally true that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach – well, certainly my husband’s. And if Peter’s reaction to this recipe is anything to go by, then THIS recipe is the way to his heart. I knew Peter would like this – he likes strong, robust flavours and loves red…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Beef & Celeriac Pie
This is comfort food at its very best. Meltingly tender beef, with delicious herbs, covered with a crispy golden crust. I recently got a tip from an amazing chef, Daniel Galmiche – to rub the herbs between your fingers before using them. This releases the aromas and flavours even more and gives you a moment…
