A day out doing gluten free things in Cheshire.
 |
| The bunting was out for the Coeliacs of Cheshire |
I attended the Cheshire Coeliac Group Meeting in Middlewich yesterday and had a nice afternoon buying cakes, chatting to fellow coeliacs and watching the cooking demonstrations.
 |
| I bought a fair few gluten free cakes to see me through the week |
 |
| Chris from the Cheshire Coeliac Group and Cakes by Noah getting to grips with Genius Puff Pastry for his gluten free sausage rolls |
 |
| Here's some Chris made earlier |
 |
| I bought a couple of the doughnuts from Lottie's Bakehouse - one sugar coated and one cinnamon flavour. They were both quickly scoffed |
 |
| I also had a couple of wins on the raffle! |
As I'd bought a lot of delicious cakes from
Lottie's Bakehouse the cooking demonstration by group organiser
Chris was perfect, as it gave me inspiration to do some savoury baking myself. Something I haven't done in many years. Partly because my view of food and cooking changed when I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, but also because
Emily is such a superb cook.
 |
| Before cooking here are the rather rustic looking sausage rolls. I used Jus-Rol gluten free puff pastry and Morrisons gluten free pork chipolatas |
 |
| After baking! |
 |
| In his cooking demo Chris had suggested putting other ingredients in with the sausage meat. The three on the right are plain sausage rolls, while the one on the far left is filled with Tewkesbury Hot Mustard, the next one was Cheddar Cheese and the next one was pork and Bramley apple flavour in a nod to a Bedfordshire Clanger |
 |
| They were all delicious. Even Emily said so! |
