Don’t be fooled by the word “fat” when we refer to the good fats in avocados. This superfood is not only good for you; it tastes absolutely delicious and can be used as an alternative for foods high in sugar and saturated fats!

The myriad of health benefits gained from the fats and nutrients in avocados – potassium, vitamins B, C, E and K – include assisting in lowering cholesterol and risk of diabetes. So how can we start introducing these magical little fruits into more of our meals without getting sick of them (not that we would)? Read on the blog for some great tricks and tips!

Gluten-free baking is a tricky business. There is no one simple solution or explanation for substituting gluten-free flours for flours that contain gluten in your baking.
The main thing to remember is that gluten-free flours behave differently than wheat flours (and other gluten flours) so don't expect the results to be the same. Your baked goodies will be different. Often they won't resemble the 'classic' version that is made with a gluten flour, but that's OK and the sooner you let go of any 'expectations' of how your gluten-free baking should 'be' the better.

The following list is simply an introductory guide to four of the main gluten-free wholegrain flours available and when and how they are best incorporated into your baking. These wholegrain flours provide bulk, body and structure when used in baking but are also best used in conjunction with what's known as gluten-free 'white flours' or 'starches' (such as arrowroot, cornflour, sweet rice flour and potato starch just to name a few) - but more on this another time.

Silicone bakeware is still a little mysterious to many home cooks. Many of us regularly use silicone spatulas and other kitchen utensils but when it comes to bakeware made from silicone we are a little less familiar with them.

Silicone bakeware is a lightweight material with rubber-like qualities made from a pure form of very fine sand. Not only is it heat-resistant but you can also use it in the fridge, freezer and microwave, which means that it has great versitility - think moulding frozen desserts among other uses.

My experience with silicone bakeware has shown me that it is particularly suitable for baking small/individual cakes and those that are quite delicate in nature (such as flourless cakes) as the flexibility of the pans allows you to easily 'push' the cake out or peel the silicone away once they are baked. Remember though that you won't get the same golden crust you will with traditional metal bakeware.

There’s nothing better in winter than a soul-warming pudding for dessert. This delicious crumble pairs in season apples and rhubarb with frozen blackberries – a memorable match. This is one dessert you will come back to time and time again. (Leftovers are pretty good for breakfast when topped with natural yoghurt!)
