Not all gluten-free food is healthy - salt, sugar and fat can fill the gap left by wheat and other gluten-containing grains, but these recipes, as all in the magazine, are checked for their nutritional value. There are plenty of mouth-watering dishes here for those who can't eat gluten as well as those who can - among them eggplant chicken meatballs with tzatziki, spiced lamb with crispy roasted veges and chickpeas, Mediterranean lemon fish, polenta pizza, pumpkin and lentil curry with rice, cauliflower and blue cheese soup, and banana bread.
I was intrigued by her pear and chocolate jam, a rhubarb and apricot jam infused with Earl Grey tea, a marmalade and carrot cake, potato and dandelion salad, and variously flavoured vodkas.
The stylish design, photographs and anecdotes, make this an attractive as well as useful book.
