Wicklewood’s Individual Cheese and Leek Tartlets (Gluten F

"This recipe can quite easily be made using ordinary short crust pastry, but if you decide to follow the recipe and make gluten free pastry,,,firstly,, well done you,,,and secondly gluten free pastry is notoriously short and crumbly. Rather than rolling out the dough and trying to mould it into the flan tins you can easily line the tins using a patchwork effect with the pastry, as long as there are no gaps for the filling to seep through, no one will know. Most prepared English Mustards contain gluten, however, English mustard powder doesn’t. So if you have difficulty finding a gluten free mustard the powder is fine, just make up to required amount following manufacturer’s instructions… Failing that Dijon is just as delicious in this dish and gluten free."

However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.</p> <p><span><span><strong>The other man in my life</strong></span></span></p> <p><img title=The src=http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5314/file4226.jpg alt=width=320 height=213 /></p>
