No-gluten/17 recipes

This is one of the recipes that started my cooking career. No kidding. I would make this dish and people would swoon. I took it to potlucks, and people would come up to me and say, “What is that dish, it is delicious.” Upon hearing my answer, their eyes would get big and they would respond with, “Wow, I never liked Swiss Chard.” This is wonderful, how did you make it?” And so it began, my relentless task of repeating the recipe over and over again. My sister finally asked, “Would you please write a little cookbook for me.” And, so it began.

A great little salad is perfect to be aside with grilled sausages.

Shakshuka, the Middle-Eastern delight, where eggs are poached in a tomato-based dish, has been taken to the next level in this recipe by the addition of courgetti – which took the world by storm from dieters, low-carbers and those gluten-intolerant folks looking for a healthy alternative to spaghetti. Thankfully, there is no need for a spiralizer, as most supermarkets sell them ready-made these days (which is pretty eggciting), so all you need to do is follow this super-simple, low-calorie recipe and you will be Middle-Feasting on this perfect meat-free Monday supper in no time at all.

Your family will be none the wiser when you offer up this vegetarian creamy “mac and cheese”.

These gluten free slices of zesty lemon goodness really are hard to resist. They’re light, tangy and the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea. To make the lemon topping you’ll need to use a brand of coconut milk that doesn’t contain emulsifiers (guar gum, carrageenan, methyl cellulose, corn starch, sodium or potassium metabisulfate) as these are chemical additives which cause the fatty and watery layers to stop separating from one another, so you won’t be able to achieve the thick creamy consistency required.

This delicious strawberry frappe recipe is healthy, full of nutrition and tastes divine. We’ve used frozen bananas for this recipe as it makes the drink nice and cold, but if you don’t have time to freeze, there’s no need, just refrigerate the smoothie for a short while before serving. This recipe is high in potassium, fibre, vitamin C, vitamin B, magnesium and folate and has only 132 calories per serving – what are you waiting for?

These delicious oatmeal bars are full of nutrition, easy to make and a taste sensation. They make the perfect gluten free and sugar free breakfast or snack.

These mouth-watering quiches make such a delicious snack. We’ve made the base out of almonds and gluten free oats and the filling is eggs, sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion with a dash of nutritional yeast. Traditional quiche is not usually a healthy option as it generally contains quite a lot of cream cheese. For this nutritious alternative we’ve substituted cream cheese for skimmed milk and used nutritional yeast to give the cheesy flavour. We’ve also used a mix of whole eggs and egg whites to help manage cholesterol levels. You can choose any fillings you like instead of the sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion. Hope you enjoy!

These easy to make, no-bake truffle treats are so delicious and full of nutrition. They make the perfect after dinner sweet treat, and the best part about this recipe is they keep in the freezer so you can just take them out as and when you need them. We love the combination of bananas and almonds, we discovered it recently while making my new ice-cream recipe, so this sweet snack has soon become a new favourite of ours. The ingredients in this recipe are all wholesome and all have anti-aging benefits, so if you’re looking to turn back the clock this is a fail safe as it’s full of magnesium (nuts, seeds and banana) probiotics (cacao) and polyphenols (cacao). If you find it difficult to blend the dates in your food processor a good tip is to soak them in hot water for a few minutes first which should soften them.

There is nothing like a well-cooked juicy roast chicken! A couple of ingredients with a no-fuss preparation makes chicken roast the perfect meal to cook when you have unexpected guests over or just want to enjoy a simple dinner after a long day. It’s hard to wrong with super easy, quick & highly loved recipe. Rub the chicken with few flavoursome ingredients, plop it in the oven and voila, a super juicy, crispy-skinned and tender-fleshed roast chicken is ready in to be devoured!

Pumpkin and Tomato Bisque recipe

Pumpkin recipes are blowing up Pinterest this year, more than I remember seeing before. I love the put-pumpkin-in-everything craze as much as anyone, but this year I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. Maybe because it started too early, before I was even thinking about pumpkins. Maybe because I’ve had pumpkins on my porch for almost 2 months and I’ve yet to actually cut one open. Either way, I’m late to this game. If you’re not all pumpkin-ed out yet, you may enjoy this recipe for chocolate pumpkin bread. It’s free of nuts, dairy, gluten and all grains. As far as sweet breads go, this one is as healthy as it gets.
