It’s no secret that I’m lacking in Asian cooking skills. I love Asian food – especially because so much of it can be made gluten-free – but I just don’t have the right touch in the kitchen.

Gluten-free Recipe – Chicken Vegetable and Noodle Soup
Hi there! It’s autumn Down Under at the moment, although we’re still experiencing summer weather. It was really something for the family to go body surfing at the beach over Easter.

Gluten-free Recipe: Cinnamon Tea Cake
Gluten-free baking: Cinnamon Tea Cake Hello! Sorry it’s been so long between drinks. These days, I have so many recipes in my head but so little time to develop them. C’est la vie, as the French say. Life is hurtling along, but it’s nice to be able to get back to blogging. I’ve been laid […]

GFL’s Best Gluten-free Christmas Recipes
Ah, Christmas. Gluten-free Christmas. It got me thinking about curated content. No kidding. Have you ever heard the term “curated content”? It’s a fancy-pants digital marketing phrase that basically means that you’ve cruised the internet and created a “best of” list. For example, just recently my blog made it onto Feedspot’s Best 100 Gluten Free […]
Gluten-free Christmas Feast
Hello! Sorry for the break between posts. There’s been a little bit going on of late – I needed to take some time out to recover from some minor surgery. No biggie, but the anaesthetic took a little while to work its way out of my system. Since then, I’ve also been tied up with […]

No need to adjust your screen. You read it right: Lunchbox Nachos. Yes, it is indeed possible to send your kids to school with nachos in their lunchboxes. But be warned, you may find this recipe a little controversial for a couple of reasons. First, the salt content of the corn chips. Yes, okay, most […]
Egg-free Meringues. That’s right!
No need to adjust your screen. You read that correctly. EGG-FREE MERINGUES! “How is that possible?” I hear you ask. Well, it goes a little something like this. A few months ago, I noticed a bit of hype on the airwaves about the magic of chickpea brine and how it behaved like eggs in baked […]
Gluten-free Rice Rounds
At the end of this week, school finishes for the year and we commence the 6-week summer break. So, honest to goodness, I’m not all that interested in developing new lunchbox recipes over the next few weeks.
