Em, I've got someone staying soon who is gluten intolerant. I already use quinoa quite a lot, and my baked chocolate mousse cake is gluten free. Ive thought of maccaroons (coconut and almond) and I've googled gluten-free cooking; but I was wondering if you have any tried and trusted recipes? My other gussets are all serious cake munchers, and I don't want her to feel left out. Any advice and tips much appreciated.  |

You can use cornflour to thicken sauces.Most sausages are gluten free here.

Sorry, haven't got any cake recipes - but a story. My friend James has a gluten allergy, which wasn't diagnosed until he was in his late 30s. When he was a child, and often off school poorly, his mum used to tuck him up on the sofa with a plate of jam butties. Poor sod.

Hi I don't have a gluten allergy I am allergic to all cereals apart from sugar........So any thing I make is totally flour free.
I can give you a chocolate cake that uses mais flour but with this you must check it is free of gluten as some flours are milled in places that mill wheat.
I also have a chocolate cake that uses ground almonds, and a carrot cake the same.
Mais flour can be used to make white sauce etc.
depending on how sensitive your guest is oats maybe off the list and a lot of other cereals. You need to check how bad the allergy is.
Em

I wouldn't want to be cooking cakes in your house that week!
You have a guest with nut allergy, so no nuts in kitchen or you could have a problem.
I have seen a recipe for cake that is made from mash potato and I think polenta or mais flour. I will try find it for you safe for both of them.
Some people that are allergic to nuts are not allergic to coconut so you could possibly make coconut pyramids which is coconut, sugar, and egg. You need to ask, some people are not allergic to all nuts. I am only allergic to pistachio nuts but can eat peanuts which most are allergic to, almonds, hazel nuts, ect.You would be able to use any ground nut in the recipe apart from coconut.
Of course potatoes are very safe that week for all I suggest jackets, tartiflette, roasts, fish chips no batter, and loads of fresh fruit and merangs(I can't spell!!it's those things made of egg white and sugar that just burn in my oven!lol)
