FOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

The opening line of that show, does infact make the episode redundant does it not?
"Im going to show you how to make a lovely home made curry, but you we wont be able to make anything better than what they dish out at restaurants, so im going to order in. That's all folks!"

Get 'the curry secret' book you will never and I repeat never say that again. My OH bough at least 7 of them for friends and family and all cannot believe the results. Got them for 99p from the works. You make a sauce - does get a bit niffy, but the result is just out of this world. Store the sauce and make fantastic dishes. When he says that he fancies a curry I hope he's going to cook it himself.

BUT tonight I made Thai fish cakes fromhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/thais ... akes_90298. I had to coat them with gluten free flour but they were lush. Had some chilli dipping sauce and some ginger and garlic sauce. Will definately be doing these again.

Do you use gluten free stuff often? If so, do you have any good recipes? I've been looking for some that have been tested for a while now.

I have ceoliacs' so have been on a wheat free diet for years. I have flour, bread etc on free perscription, which makes life a bit easier.

What sort of things do you like ?

yeaaa my 400th post.

[brettie]

free prescriptions in Wales anyway isn't it?

[baty]

Yes, there are food things like flour, bread, pizza bases, pasta and some types of buiscit that are on the list. There is a better choice of wheat free things being sold now than when I was first put on the diet.
Made a banana cake last night, for some reason my colleauges in work don't like bananas with a few brown spots on the skin, so they give them to me. I had 3 yesterday, so gave the cake a go.
Very tasty, I left out the nuts as I don't like them. Used gluten free flour and 2tsp of gluten free baking powder as substitutes. I did reduce the amount of sugar at OHs' request.

will be making this again. So quick to mix. Make sure you have a big tin or 2 medium to large. I only had one and kept watching it to see if it would flop over the sides! A cake avalanche.

I'm not a fan of bananas when they start going brown, because I find them too sweet. I prefer them on the greener side, more starchy. I pass them to my mum who makes banana smoothies!

[weliveandbreathewords]

I know sainsburys do a range of wheat and gluten free essentials like bread etc, I always see them when im walking through before work :)

[anakin]

They do a big range. My friend came over from Canada and ought heaps of stuff from Sainsbury because it's not as widely available over there.
