Gluten free spicy prawn curry
What haven’t I done before? I made this from scratch and pretty much guessed what would and wouldn’t work in terms of flavours – it worked! I also haven’t used fenugreek before which is used in lots of Indian recipes, is used for culinary and medicinal purposes and, apparently, has estrogen-like properties known to increase…

Gluten free curried carrot and sweet pepper soup
What haven’t I done before? This is a completely new recipe using bits and bobs I had left in my fridge. I wanted to make the soup really flavoursome with spices and added crispy croutons to give it texture. My big tip is to add milled linseed as it really makes any soup hearty. Ingredients…

What haven’t I done before? I haven’t made a cacciatore which, according to Wikipedia, means “hunter” in Italian. It’s prepared “hunter-style” with onions, herbs, tomatoes, peppers and wine.
