Food circus: Easy, fun, delicious
We mostly make our food from gluten free ingredients. I can’t eat anything containing gluten without getting some unpleasant symptoms. Hence you’ve noticed that in the titles of recipes for pasta and pastry dishes words gluten free are always included. Continue reading “Minestrone soup – gluten free”
In the good old times I used to bake doughnuts every First of May. When I started a gluten free diet, I didn’t make them for a long time. To make a perfect gluten free dough you need a couple of tricks in order to succeed. I can do the dough very well nowadays although I used to think that rolling and stretching doughnuts is just mission impossible. Continue reading “Gluten free doughnuts”
On a gluten free diet, the things I’ve missed the most are rye bread and rye crispbreads. Wheat breads and buns can be easily made from gluten free wheat starch, and neither the taste nor texture are much different from the ones made with ordinary wheat flour. Continue reading “Salted nut crispbread”
I quite often make my (or my friends’) day with some cupcakes, because they are so tasty and also so easy to make. Continue reading “Gluten free chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting”
Whenever I have baked buns, baguettes or bread I have wondered about the taste and consistency of all the gluten free breads sold in stores – how can they be so poor and tasteless. The same is also true about sweet pastries, of course you can eat them, but they don’t evoke any kind of desires. Continue reading “Gluten free carrot and oatmeal bread”
This recipe simply tells you how to make the batters and bottoms for layer cakes. Fillings and decorations are left to whatever your heart desires. I’m definitely not a master-decorator of cakes, so there isn’t very much to learn from my efforts. Continue reading “Gluten free layer cakes”
I have for many years now done different kinds of pies and cakes with this recipe. The pastry is easy and quick to make and fits perfectly together for example with blueberries, aroniaberries, rhubarb and apples. When you bake the cake just like that without any toppings on it, you can quite easily make a delicious cake to serve for your quests. Continue reading “Shortcrust cake”
Swiss rolls are quite simple to make, so if you need something to serve your guests with less than an hour to prepare it this might be a good choice. Continue reading “Gluten free swiss rolls with vanilla frosting”
When my daughter and her family built their own house on the other half of our yard a few years ago we decided to mark the boundaries of our properties with a hedgerow. There wasn’t really any need to plant bushes, but we wanted to keep the dogs on our side of the yard, and because of small children it i safer to grow bushes with edible berries (kids eat berries whether those are poisonous or not), so we planted aronia berry bushes. Continue reading “Aronia berry cubcakes”
Lasagne is a traditional Italian food which has been a great favorite in our family for years. I haven’t made it for the past few years since I’ve been a bit suspicious of the tastiness of gluten free lasagne sheets. Most of the gluten free pastas are quite tough even cooked and I have been afraid of making a somewhat “hard” lasagne. Continue reading “Lasagne with meat and boletes – gluten free”
