Notes about this book

  • FJT on June 01, 2012

    I have quite a few gluten-free baking books but this one has given me by the far the best results to date. Every recipe I have tried has come out perfectly and the end products do not taste as if they are gluten-free!! Baking gluten-free had been slightly depressing until now, but I've rediscovered my pleasure in making and eating cakes and biscuits. A lot of my gluten-free baking books measure ingredients by volume which I have never found to be reliable. This measures by weight. I guess this might put some people off, but for me it's a definite plus. I also like the fact that I don't need a huge range of exotic flours for these recipes - there are three basic flour mixes and none of the ingredients for them are hard to find.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Toffee chocolate fudge brownie muffins

    • FJT on December 18, 2016

      Seriously good! I never have 3 different types of chocolate for this, so I always make them with the one that I have to hand. These always disappear really quickly.

  • Coffee cupcakes with mocha fondant icing

    • FJT on December 18, 2016

      I've made these a lot! The cupcake batter isn't overly sweet, which is just as well because the icing is seriously sugary. I often leave some of the cupcakes un-iced; they're very nice on their own.

  • Chocolate brownie torte

    • tekobo on August 14, 2022

      Delicious with fennel ice cream

  • Quick extra moist fruit cake

    • FJT on December 18, 2016

      This is my 'go to' quick cake when I just want something that is quite plain, but satisfying. Never lasts long in my house!

  • Rich fruit Christmas cake

    • etcjm on July 23, 2018

      Works and is like 'normal' Xmas cake. I omit the peel, cherries and whole almonds but that's because some of my family don't like them. My go to birthday cake or substantial cutting cake for visitors. Currently in the oven smelling gorgeous, very odd on a sunny day!
