Chocolate and cream choux puffs

Chocolate and cream choux puffs

I have been wanting to make some chocolate and cream choux puffs for a while now but was a little apprehensive about how they would turn out as I have never made them before. I kept the ingredients really simple for this recipe, and would highly recommend using the Just Free self raising flour from Lidl. I have been using this for many of my cakes and sweet treats for a while now and I have to say it is one of my favourite flours to use. The Just Free range is good, and I use the plain flour too.

Gluten free gems of Shoreditch!

I love finding gluten free gems around London, and last weekend was a chance to explore the gluten free gems of Shoreditch! I spend nearly all of my weekends in London, and love discovering new places to eat out. I usually document all my findings on Instagram, but thought it would be a nice idea to start writing some blogposts about what I get up to on my weekends, if there is anything interesting to write about that is!

Brunching at Côte Brasserie

Cote Brasserie has locations all around the UK, and a few weeks ago, myself and some gluten free buddies enjoyed a lunch at St Katherine’s dock, near Tower Hill, London. I have been a number of times to the Cote Brasserie in Wimbledon, but didn’t realise then that they offered a gluten free menu.

How to avoid cross contamination in your kitchen

How to avoid cross contamination in your kitchen

We have all been there. That voice inside our head that screams ”it’s contaminated!” when your not so helpful friend accidentally puts your bread in the toaster without the toastie bags! Or your boyfriend uses the same knife to dunk into your favourite jam, and then spreads it on his (gasp) non gluten free bread. So many gluten lurking opportunities, it’s an absolute nightmare trying to keep on top of the cross contamination!

Healthy Greek Pitta’s

Greek Pitta breads are not only easy peasy to make, but they can be a great on the go snack, or for lunch or dinner! They are filling too, and you can have lots of fun creating new and exciting fillings! I used the Genius pitta bread with chicken, peppers, greek yoghurt, fried halloumi and salad!

Christmas lunch at The Folly

Christmas lunch at The Folly

For the third time this year, I visited The Folly restaurant in London for brunch. This time, I was meeting my friend Philippa for a much needed Christmas catch up. I had planned this way back in October, and was intrigued to find out what the Christmas menu had to offer. I picked the Folly mainly because of its location as it is near Monument station and in the dark of the night I can easily get back to Fenchurch street in a jiffy!
