  • Cheese, leek, and potato pudding

    After many years, I am finally able to source leeks at local stores at a reasonable price. (At one point they were $10 each….) To celebrate, I decided to make a nice leek pudding.   Wait, isn’t pudding sweet? No, not necessarily. The word it ultimately derives from is a Latin word meaning “sausage”! Ingredients…

  • Gooey Yuck

    Yes, this is a silly title for a very silly treat! 1 pint bran cereal, the type that looks like twigs 1 pint raisins 1 pint brown sugar 1 pint milk Add all these to a bowl and refrigerate overnight. 1 pint self raising flour Mix the SR flour into the gooey mix the next…

  • Sweet Rice Flour baking blend

    There is a very good book called Simply Gluten Free Desserts by Carol Kicinski. It hits all the notes you’d expect in a GF desserts recipe book, such as pie crust, cookies, cakes, and the likes. This blend makes the best cookies… amongst other things! Also… go buy Carol’s book. So many good recipes. 4.5…

  • Fruited buns

    Fruited buns are a delicious brunch treat. Here’s a successful GF version. I hope that you will try it, and feel free to substitute for other requirements such as diary free or vegan.

  • Vegan brownies that don’t suck

  • Keto friendly British sponge pudding

    What I’m writing here is an incomplete recipe. This is because the sheer diversity of British sponge puddings is ridiculous, so I’d rather give you the basic recipe that you can tweak with any of the eleventy zillion different options. Chocolate sponge, jam sponge, chocolate, and did I mention chocolate? Yum yum. All tweaks from…

  • 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 /…

  • 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.…
