If at first you don't succeed ... And so that's been the way over the last few months as I've been trying to get the base of this recipe right - something close to a lovely short biscuit base but not quite so crumbly. I was able to roadtest it on my book group last week. There was a unanimous thumbs up so at last it's ready for you as well. This recipe is quite low in sugar. The … [Read more...]
Gluten-free Cold Rolls

Well, this recipe has had me stumped for quite some time. I originally imagined it as some lovely damper mini-loaves made with crushed chickpeas, tahini and garlic salt. They were going to be just fantastic ... except that they didn't actually work. So I tinkered for a while, but got sick of the stockpile of crumbling mini-loaves so I gave it away. But it has niggled at me, because the idea … [Read more...]
