It was my birthday recently, and I went out to my favourite place, Moroccan Soup Bar. The birthday cake needed to be special and gluten-free.

Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free Christmas Menu Planning (and a recipe for James)
This year Christmas will be had at my Mum’s house. My Mum, my sister and I went out for a coffee yesterday to have chat about what will be on the table when December 25th rolls around. In a house full of sweet-tooths with dietary restrictions, this means serious planning. I was gonna post a…
Lemon Cake II: the “healthy” version

Rhubarb crumble cake
