For you sweet fiends, I’ve collated some of my favourite dessert and baking recipes for you too. Scroll down to the “SWEET” section for some delicious gluten free treats, from squidgy brownies to gloriously soft sponge puddings.

SAVOURY

1. Mac n Cheese

Cheese + pasta equal the ultimate comfort food, and nothing is more comforting that a big bowlful of my gluten free mac n cheese. I also have a second mac and cheese with hidden veggies, which is a great one to try for equally comforting food with a big pile of yummy veg.

2. Aubergine Parmigiana with Garlic Bread

We had this vegetarian dish for dinner today and I had forgotten how warming and comforting it is. Soft aubergine, layered with tomato sauce and then baked with cheese on top. Mmmm. For extra oumpf, serve it with homemade gluten free garlic bread.

3. Beef Stew with Dumplings

My mum used to make us beef stew with dumplings when I was growing up and it reminds me of cosy evenings at the family home. I created my own version, rich with red wine and with light, buttery dumplings perched on top.

4. Butternut Squash & Pancetta Risotto

My husbands favourite meal of all time, this risotto is pure comfort food in a bowl. Sweet roasted chunks of butternut squash, crispy bacon and salty parmesan cheese all in one dish yaaaassss.

5. Peanut Butter Tahini Noodles

A fifteen-minute wonder dish, which I always whip up when I am feeling a bit run down or knackered but still wanting a good bellyful of food. It really only takes 15 minutes from start to finish!

6. Spaghetti Carbonara

The ultimate Italian comfort food (with a very English twist).

7. Curried Carrot, Sweet Potato & Red Lentil Soup

“Soup…SOUP?!” I hear you say. This wonderful soup is thick and silky due to the lentils it contains, yet also healthy and both dairy free and vegan. Dish it up in big bowls with slices of gluten free buttered toast.

8. Avocado & Cheddar Quesadillas

There’s something about molten cheese that makes everrrrything better IMO. These super simple quesadillas are a great one to whip up when you are in need of a bit of TLC.

9. Vegetarian Chili

10. Lamb & Butternut Squash Stew

SWEET

1. Pear & Toffee Sponge Pudding

My newest dessert creation is comfort food personified. Succulent pears, soft gluten free sponge, STICKY TOFFEEE SAAAAAUCE. What’s not to love!

2. Squidgy Chocolate Brownies

I promise you, these brownies are life-changing. Mega squidgy and chocolate, they are the one sweet treat I regularly crave. I also have a few other varieties you can try: salted caramel swirl brownies, peanut butter stuffed brownies, PBJ brownies, double chocolate brownies and white chocolate raspberry brownies. Oooo er, how will you ever choose?!

3. Blackberry & Apple Crumble

4. White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

5. Chocolate Lava Pots

Oooooozing chocolate centre, a brownie-life sponge – top one of these pots with a dollop of clotted cream while still warm from the oven. Bliss. They are super speedy to make too, so go awwwwn, treat yourself to a little bit of dessert this evening :).
