Wheat Free Pancakes

Feb

2007

Galit was put on a wheat free diet for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately this overlapped with Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday), so I was forced to invent a wheat free pancake. These were quite successful, although more fragile than the wheat based version. Makes about 8 pancakes. Wheat Free Pancakes Steven Thomas Print Recipe Ingredients Wet ...

Bread with Antipasti

2006

A friend of mine, Gitit Wainer, did a cooking course and sent through a few recipes. This one is kind of like a pizza pie with antipasti. Bread with Antipasti Gitit Wainer I learnt a real easy bread recipe and upgraded it. Some of it I baked as is but the rest I filled with ...

Cream of Tomato Soup

Oct

2006

I used to make a really thick mixture of tomatoes, onion, and chilli – so chunky it was almost a salsa – called it a soup and ate it with Bread. Galit wasn’t so keen on this, preferring a creamy texture, and the recipe got adapted to cater for her taste. It is a great ...

This is my favourite bread recipe at the moment – a French country style loaf using a sourdough starter. I’ve been making a loaf every Saturday morning for months now.

Fatoush – Vege, Herb and Bread Salad

Aug

2006

Fatoush is an Arab salad which includes stale or toasted pita bread. It is a Syrian and Lebanese speciality. Adding the bread just before serving means it is still crisp when put on the table, although originally the idea was for the bread to soak up the dressing so it was mixed in sooner. Fatoush ...

Savoury Mini-Muffins

Aug

17

2006

We’ve made these a couple of times as a starter. They look and taste great. They also have the advantage that they’re gluten free as they lack wheat. In both recipes the vegetables and eggs provide the bulk. Each recipe makes 12 mini-muffins, which is convenient as mini-muffin trays usually hold 24. If you don’t ...

Conventional and BBQ Menu 2

Aug

2006

My Weber Charcoal Kettle BBQ has seen a bit of action this summer. This menu is a more elaborate buffet which we thought was nicely balanced. Only a small portion was on the BBQ. One of the guests has Celiac, so much of this was gluten free (indicated by *). As it happens the only ...
