One-pot meals can save loads of time on cooking and washing up. Make sure to change the garlic bread to wheat and dairy free substitute if necessary.

An old fashioned tea party tradition in many parts of England. Delicious with clotted cream and jam. Unfortunately not so great for those with intolerances.
Orange Drizzle Fairy Cakes*
Make a simple batch of fairy cakes using the all-in-one method with 8oz (225g). Add the rind of 3 clementines. Cook as usual. Once cooked, remove to a cooling rack. When cooled ice with icing made with the zest of clementines. Decorate with orange zest or delights. Simple. Use the normal wheat and dairy free ingredients to make these for your special guests!
Oriental Chicken*
Simple, quick, delicious, asian. What more could you ask for? I first made this when I was about 10 from a recipe book I received as a gift so I’m not joking when I say this is easy to make. Prepare in advance to allow for marination and the extra flavour!
It may just look dark and saucy but this is absolutely delicious and a dish you will never forget
Macaroons*
These macaroons are simply devine. They make perfect presents or gifts for a dinner party. Enjoy many different flavour and colour combinations – the brighter the better! Normally made with whipped cream, sandwich instead with a simple buttercream, coloured if desired, to make the dairy free!
Pancakes (Crepes)*
Shrove Tuesday is here! What are you giving up for lent?
With Shrove Tuesday almost upon us once again it is definitely time to get the old favourite recipe out for French-style pancakes. The old tradition includes leaving the batter to rest for half an hour but this isn’t necessary. Make with wheat free flour and almond milk for an alternative.

Sometimes the simplest things are by far the best! Chocolate covered strawberries are a must for Valentine’s Day and these recipes show you how to make them extra special. Use dairy free chocolate for the same results.
Valentines Cheesecake Brownies
Valentines day is not far away and what could be better than to surprise your loved one on Valentine’s day with this clever little recipe and a brownie straight from the heart!
Rich, indulgent dairylicious chocolate brownies….
An eternal favourite. Perfect recipe if you do not have to cater for dairy free individuals. If you do, either swap the chocolate for a darker chocolate with no butter in it or use this other recipe here.
Cherry Bakewell Pudding*
Use a cherry brandy for added ‘berryness’. Easily adapted for a wheat and dairy free alternative. Serve with some vanilla ice cream.
Chocolate, almond and pear cake*
This is delicious and no-one would know that it’s wheat and dairy free if you didn’t let them in on the secret. As always use the normal alternatives, pure butter and doves flour. Serve with chocolate ice cream for that added WOW!
Sausagemeat Meatballs*
This recipe could be made with a packet of normal sausagemeat. However, for those with a wheat intolerance, use Musks Sausages instead. A quick and easy weekday dinner.
Meatballs with Rice
Salmon with Pistachio Crust*
This crust is quick to make, gets smothered over the side of salmon and is baked like normal. A lovely addition to an everyday dinner. Takes it to a whole new level. Yum!
Blend 1/2 basil plant and 100g pistachio nuts in a food processor, add 4 oz pure butter. Season well. Using a palette knife smooth over the side of salmon (or cod works well) before cooking, uncovered, in an oven like normal.
Tender Beef Stew*
Bung this in a crock pot (slow cooker) when you get up and serve in the evening. No hassle. Delicious. Easy. Wheat and dairy free. Done.
Chocolate Cheesecake*
This can easily be made wheat free with wheat free biscuits instead of digestives but cannot be dairy free yet unfortunately. Try lemon cheesecake instead by substituting the chocolate with the zest and juice of a lemon.
Scallops with Bacon Jam*
A quick starter or a light dinner. Buy the bacon jam from my uncle’s business here.

Rack of Lamb with a herb crust*
Another easy-to-turn wheat and dairy free meal. Simple change the normal breadcrumbs to WDF breadcrumbs! Be careful not to overcook the lamb, better under-done than over 🙂 Another good idea for a dinner party.
Rack of Lamb
INGREDIENTS
2 x Rack of lamb, french trimmed (all meat and fat trimmed off the bone)
2 oz breadcrumbs
2 oz parsely
4-5 walnuts, chopped finely
1 tbsp walnut oil (or something similar)
1 zest of lemon
salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
METHOD
- Pre-heat the oven to 190C
- Chop all ingredients finely
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or mix together well with a spoon
- Stand each rack on end in a deep roasting dish, entwine each bone with the opposite to ensure they stand up
- Brush with beaten egg
- Bind the breadcrumb, herb crust with the remaining egg
- Spread this over the racks evenly with a palatte knife
- Bake for 25 minutes for medium rare. Better less time than more!

- Slice in between the bones to serve
PREP: 15 minutes
COOK: 25 minutes
DIFFICULTY: easy
Lemon Tart*
The soft, sharp filling contrasts beautifully with the crisp, sweet pastry case. This is another tasty dish to take to a friends for dinner or cook for a dessert for those dairy free alternatives. The recipe is slightly unusual in that it uses a sweet shortcrust pastry so add 3oz caster sugar and 2 extra egg yolks to a normal WDF shortcrust pastry as made here. It may need some extra wheat-free flour to soak the additional liquid to get it to rolling consistency. Chilling in the fridge for 30 minutes before working with the pastry will help the process.
Chocolate Profiteroles
Choux Pastry is needed for profiteroles, not yet got a wheat or dairy free version of this but these are delicious anyway. Try with a baileys cream in the middle for that added surprise.
Profiteroles
Mocha Pots*
My mum and I made these for a New Years Eve dinner party. No-one guessed they were dairy free (and wheat free!!!!)… Chocolate! Absolutely delicious, could easily be a restaurant or shop dessert. Simple to make, needs a little time to set however.
