Lucky Clover Cookies
It may still be March, but the weather today looks perfect for a trip to the beach.
A Class Above Potato Salad
Yet more salads! I’ve always had a fondness of potato salad that I can’t really explain – gloopy cold potatoes anyone? This version can be easily made either dairy and egg free or…
So it’s Easter Weekend…
Easter is a bit different for us, in a household where the children are dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free.
Chocolate Easter Biscuits
So, with the lack of actual Easter Eggs in this house I decided to make some chocolate biscuits in the shape of eggs.
Giraffe Salad
No, not made of Giraffes, just from the restaurant chain! We had an unusual Easter Sunday… A very early morning Easter egg hunt (luckily the Easter Bunny had visited) followed by a day out wi…
Birthday Cakes (always a challenge with no butter and no eggs)
I’ve just downloaded masses of photos from my phone and come across a few birthday cake photos.
Sainsbury’s, this time you did impress (ice lollies part II)
As I’ve mentioned before, Sainsbury’s is normally a complete nightmare to shop in if you are dairy, egg and nut-free, with a complete lack of (or even non existence of) choice in a lot …
Ginger Snaps
Ginger snaps are lovely biscuits, and while McVitie’s Ginger Nuts are a great dairy, egg and nut free standby, sometimes it’s nicer to have homemade.
Home-made Egg-free Pasta
I always wanted to make some home-made pasta – I even gave D a pasta machine a few years ago as a birthday present, but somehow it never saw the light of day until today.

P… P… P… Pick Up a Dairy-free Penguin Bar
In writing this blog I wanted to challenge myself to be able to create any foodstuff (within reason!) that I like (or liked as a child), or my girls would like to try, and make it dairy/egg/nut-fre…
Zingy Lemon Butter(less)cream
The perfect topping for St Clement’s cupcakes, or possibly gingerbread – hmm, going to have to try that combo! Zingy Lemon Buttercream (dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soya-free, sesame…
Old Town Oaties
This is my long-time fall back chunky chocolate chip cookie, enriched with oats and soft brown sugar.
At Last An Egg-Free Frangipane
This is the recipe for the frangipane layer used in the Knockout Pear and Almond Pastries that I posted yesterday.
Knockout Pear and Almond pastries (aka Jalousie aux Poires)
It worked! I am so, so pleased! :-) My second foray into making French patisserie (as taught by the wonderful Claire Clark when she was a teacher at Le Cordon Bleu) but egg and dairy-free, has turn…
Dairy, egg, sesame and nut free products
One of the real challenges of catering for allergies is finding suitable ready made products in the supermarket without spending hours walking up and down aisles, reading virtually every label.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yet more cookies from me! These very chocolaty cookies are quite substantial and would work perfectly with a cup of oat milk to wash them down… Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (dairy-free, egg-…
Spicy Corn Salad
It’s the 4th July and in honour of my American readers I’ve decided to give a Brit’s take on a classic American meal – dairy, egg and nut-free of course.
