Vegan Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers with Fat Free Fries Recipe

Vegan Gluten Free Chickpea Burgers with Fat Free Fries Recipe

How do you make a burger a fully paid-up member of the healthy diet club?

A barbecue without a burger is hard to imagine. Once you’ve tasted this vegan gluten free chickpea burger you’ll will always include them in your barbecues in future.

I believe the origin on the burger was the German immigrant population to the U.S. They cooked what was basically a fried meatball (In Berlin they call them Bouletten, or Frikadellen in other parts of Germany) which gradually blossomed into the king of the barbecue as we know it today. In the traditional recipes a mix of pork and beef are mixed with an egg, spices, onions and a stale bread roll soaked in water. read more

Why make gluten free Irish Soda Bread without buttermilk?

Many people suffer from food intolerance and find they can’t eat the ready made products for sale in the shops anymore because they contain the things they have a problem with. Bread in particular can a be difficult product to source. If you’ve ever read the content lable of bread you will find that a lot of the breads or bread like products like scones, muffins, rolls, baps etc contain a lot more than just let’s say flour, yeast or some other kind of raising agent and water. Often they contain a bunch of E numbers and other additives and while you think you might be eating a wheat bread these often contain other flours such as soya etc. read more

Bake your own dairy free Irish Soda Bread

Why bake your own Dairy Free Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Why Bake your own Irish Soda Bread?

I love fresh bread, I love fresh soda bread. When I became sensitive to foods containing dairy products I had to cross soda bread off the list of things I could buy or enjoy as a standard to-go-with many foods served in restaurants etc.. “I just have the soup, thank you” was my standard answer. Nearly all the soda bread available here is still off the menu for me because soda bread is made with butter milk in Ireland. And though food sensitivity has become a big thing here and many, many places try to cater for people with gluten or dairy sensitivities the soda bread is still pretty much a no-go or more like a no-can-do. It’s like a holy cow that can’t be touched or more like stubborn mule who won’t budge. It seems to be one of the things that simply can’t be changed. And it surprises me because many restaurants make their own highly creative alterations adding dark stout to the dough and more. They just haven’t figured out how to make it without dairy products. read more

gluten-free egg-free vegan vanilla custard

Vegan Vanilla Custard – a low saturated fat, egg and gluten-free custard

This is a simple, delicious vanilla custard that doesn’t require the traditional egg yolk or cream. It is gluten free and egg free and low in sugar. What’s even better, it can be adjusted to suite people with a soya intolerance by simply switching the soya milk used in this recipe with your dairy milk alternative of your choice. I enjoy this custard with wintery baked fruit desserts as well as with fresh spring and summery fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It is lovely when used as a base for creamy chilled desserts like in the featured ‘peachy fools’ at the end of this post. read more
