СКАЧАТЬ My List of Useful Ingredients

      My store cupboard positively groans with food and drink so that I never run short of anything wheat free. Here is a short list of the most useful ingredients and foods that you might like to have in your store cupboard, refrigerator or deep-freeze. As well as wheat-free products, I have included some gluten-and dairy-free suggestions, which may be helpful for coeliacs and those on combined diets. If you can buy organic produce and products whenever possible you will notice a great difference in the taste, texture and quality of the finished recipe.

       Introduction to the Recipes

      With this cookbook, I have tried to balance the number of quick and easy recipes with those that are more time consuming. This should appeal not only to working people with very limited time for entertaining, but also to those juggling a demanding family life. Hopefully, even people who don’t like cooking will enjoy the quick and easy recipes, which I have marked with a Q&E symbol.

      I have used various different types or blends of flour in the recipes; some, like Orgran self-raising, are very light, while others, such as rye, are very heavy. This means that if you are using American cup measures and substitute a different flour for that given in the recipe you may need to use your own judgement as to how much to use.
