Super Easy Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chocolate Easter Cupcakes
Cupcakes really are EASY to make. What’s more, they cook very quickly and the frosting doesn’t need to chill in the fridge – so they’re ready very quickly. (Something that Zoë appreciates hugely!) I’ve made these with cocoa powder in both the cupcakes and the frosting, instead of melting chocolate. And I’ve used a mixture…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Carrot Cake
Here we are in the midst of root veg season. Parsnips, swede, celeriac and, of course, the humble carrot – all impart deliciously sweet, earthy tastes to stews, casseroles, soups, gratins, and roasted veggie dishes. But you don’t have to always think of these veggies as only for savoury dishes. Forget dark winter nights in…

I think you have to be careful when you use ground almonds in baking – that you don’t use…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Christmas Cake
I’m so excited about Christmas this year! Zoe is 2 years old, so I think she’ll understand it this year. She was only a couple of months’ old for her first Christmas, 2 years ago – and she slept through most of it, including the very loud Mama Mia karaoke my sister had organized! And…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Carrot & Beetroot Cupcakes
Zoë is now 2 years old! We had a birthday party in the park at the weekend to celebrate with her friends, including Ivy pictured here – and it was wonderful! For the tea I cooked chicken nuggets, squash nuggets, sweet potato wedges, gluten-free sausages and dips with vegetable sticks. And then I made Carrot…
