  • Keto friendly chocolate sponge pudding

    Look, America, you are responsible for lots of good stuff. But your understanding of “pudding” is desperately bad. It’s not just yellow flavour or brown flavour. It’s so much more. And here’s an example. It’s rich, decadent, chocolatey goodness. It’s keto friendly, so low carb. And it’s … well, it’s brown. Shut up! 6oz /…

  • Cheese pie

    What kind of filling should you put into your lovely keto friendly pie crust? A keto frendly filling, such as cheese pie. To pre-empt a possible question, “what is the difference between cheese pie and quiche?” Simply the ratio of ingredients and the intention. With quiche the intention is to showcase and enhance the custard.…

  • Keto friendly pie crust

    Low carb, flaky pie crust. Just what you need! This recipe makes one 9 inch pie crust. 1.5 cups / 144 grams almond flour 4 tablespoons / 56 grams butter, cubed 1 oz / 28 g cream cheese 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 large egg 1/4 tsp salt (optional) Add the first 3 ingredients…

  • Paggis – pork haggis

    Shh, don’t tell anyone in Scotland but… I made haggis from pork instead of lamb. I know, it’s probably sacrilege, but pork is a fraction of the price of lamb, and simple economics dictate that if I want delicious haggisness, it needs to be in a reasonable price bracket. So… paggis! (And thank you to…

  • Nougat

    Nougat is something I always associated with a sickly sweet, weirdly papery, somewhat stale confection. Freshly home made nougat is far from that, and well worth making at home. A couple of warnings. You will be handling sugar syrup, also known as culinary napalm. Please handle with extreme care, you don’t want 3rd degree burns.…

  • Jam roly poly recipe

    A new word for a lot of Americans will be “stodge”. It’s a word with many negative connotations, but in the case of Jam Roly Poly that’s what it’s supposed to be – a stodgy comfort food designed to deliver calories straight to your waistline. Enjoy! 300g / 10.5oz / 2 cups AP flour or…

  • Gluten Free cake or pudding flour

    One of the interesting aspects of cooking gluten free is that you don’t have the convenience of only using a couple of flours. You need to use different blends depending on what you’re doing. This flour blend works great for cakes and for puddings, too. While I previously wrote up a pudding flour blend, this…

  • Figgy Pudding Cheesecake

    So, you want a plum pudding cheesecake. I have you covered. Yes, the title says figgy pudding…. this has both figs and plums in it, so I still have you covered! This is a crustless cheesecake. You are welcome to add one if you wish. 3 packs cream cheese (8oz / 225g each) 1 cup…

  • Historically Inspired pumpkin pie – Pompion Pie

    Inspired by this recipe, I came up with my own version. This Pompion Pie version is delicious and will definitely feature in future Thanksgiving dinners! 1 batch pie crust for a 9 inch pie dish (see here for GF crust) 1 sugar, or pie, pumpkin, whole (not puree) 2 medium or 3 small apples half…

  • Baked custard

    Baked custard is another classic British pudding. It’s simple, cheap, and feels way more gluttonous and indulgent than the ingredients would suggest. It’s also inherently gluten free! 600ml / 18 US fl oz heavy whipping cream 3 large eggs 50g / 2oz caster (fine table) sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence (or to taste) 1/4tsp ground…
