This isn't going to be hard.Take one whole sea trout. Roast it at 200C/400F until just cooked at the shoulder. (you can tell by prying the flesh apart with the tip of a knife and looking). Don't overcook it. Rest for 5 minutes. Eat it.You don't need to season it, herb it, or otherwise mess around with it. Reason being, sea trout was created by angels and raised by gods. Therefore it is perfect.

Years ago, when we were travelling in New Zealand, we visited a cafe in Little River on the Banks Peninsular near Christchurch. Filled with local arts and crafts, the cafe also did a deep-filled sweet potato tortilla, which Gluten Free Wifie enjoyed several times (on different visits ;-)This tortilla has become part of legend, until recently, when ducks eggs became accepted to my insides again,

I'm always really chuffed when website visitors take the time to help others by sending in their stories of travelling as coeliacs. Getting gluten free food when you're on vacation or holidaying abroad is one thing that can make or break your trip.Yesterday, I got an email from Ed Fisher who spent a year in South Korea with his coeliac girlfriend, and as you can imagine, they gathered quite a bit

After my recent successful trip to Glasgow, I was rather pleased to have survived 8 meals without being poisoned.When making my selection, I didn't just go for the first restaurant that said "Yes, no problem", I looked at the menus, sent emails and generally did some serious groundwork. I really didn't want to have our weekend away spoiled by being glutened.So I thought I would make an article

This is kind of niche. If you don't live near Glasgow, Scotland you probably won't care.But then again, the approach I took to finding gluten free hotels and restaurants applies anywhere you're thinking of travelling to. I've even made it easy for you by providing the text of an email I used to get the truth on the gluten-free-ness of the places I was looking into.So here it is if you're

Almond milk is nice. Hazlenut (filbert) milk is even nicer, especially in a latte. But the trouble is, when you buy them in cartons they come laced with corn maltodextrin and other nasties that I don't want to be ingesting. They may be gluten free, but who knows just 'how' gluten free? So I thought I'd have a go at making some myself.Making your own nut milkRight, this is complicated. Not.1 cup

I'm always on the lookout for new gluten free flours to use in baking, but have never been able to track down sorghum flour in the UK (also known as juwar or jowar flour).I was somewhat elated therefore, to find TRS Juwar flour, the only ingredient of which is sorghum.Now because this isn't marked 'gluten free', I ran a Haven gluten test on it, and I'm glad I did.
