I'm calling bullsh*t on the zoodle. Or, if you want to get technical, bullus sh*ttus maximus. That's right. When the world has gone zoodle crazy, I may be the lone dissenting voice, but I'm saying it anyway. It's just soul destroying sitting down to a bowlful of watery zucchetti bolognese. It is not the same as tucking into some lovely comforting carbs. Honestly, if carbs are off the menu, … [Read more...]
Gluten-free Recipe: Cinnamon Scrolls

That's why I usually use my own mix of flours … [Read more...]
Gluten-free recipe: Hamburgers
We've just had the most glorious summer here in South Australia. It was predicted to be a real stinker, with day after day of 40-plus degree heat (that's 104 degrees Farenheit). While we got a nasty bit of that heat in early December, the rest of summer seemed to be perfect - warm enough to swim and enjoy balmy evenings but not uncomfortably hot.
