Recipe information

1.This collection of recipes works and tastes good - cooking without so many core ingredients is difficult but definitely possible so I have done the hard work for you!

2.All these recipes are simple and quick. The ingredients used are everyday foods. Specialised ingredients were not used with the exception of the gluten & wheat free flours because these are readily available in all major supermarkets.

3.Use self-raising (SR), plain (P), or breadmaking wheat/gluten free flour mixes which are available in all larger supermarkets.

4.Use either imperial or metric measurements in recipes - not a mixture.

5.If you are nut or seed allergic exclude these from recipes.

6.The recipes in this book are all free from milk, soya, egg, wheat and gluten but if any are tolerated, feel free to use them in these recipes. Oats can be used instead of buckwheat but do not use millet as it is bitter and gritty. If barley is tolerated use cereals containing malt barley as they are easier to find and much more economical.

7.Check the ingredients of baking powder - surprisingly most are suitable.

8.Where recipes use margarine choose a dairy and soya free variety - these are widely available in all supermarkets.

9.Where recipes use milk - use a non dairy milk made from coconut, nuts (eg almond or hazelnut), quinoa, potato, hemp or rice.
