I have just had two massive slices of Vickery's Apple Pudding Cake with Cider Topping from page 86 of this wonderful book. Being gluten intolerant can be a chore but finally I have recipes for much missed beloved goodies such as flatbread, yorkshire pudding and the five recipes I've tried so far really do work and are wonderful.
I only have two issues. Firstly, Vickery uses a food processor a lot, which is fine for those who can afford it but for those with only at most an electric mixer had mixing alternatives would help.
Secondly I had real problems making the wonderful tasting Bonfire Parkin with Ginger Icing because I, like many that I know of, am intolerant to the gluten in oats, for me it is my most pernicious ingredient. I tried using quinoa to replace the oatmeal but it didn't really work, I may try polenta next time. The book is called 'gluten free' so it should contain only gluten free ingredients.
But in general, this book is great, a little effort and you don't need to rely on the supermarket and health food shop gluten free aisles.
