Pippa Kendrick - Collins
In the past when inviting friends and particularly new acquaintances to dinner, you would always check if your guests were susceptible to roast turnip or had an utter hatred of fried mushrooms or such like, not forgetting whether they preferred being ‘on the beer’ to sipping a pleasant Chablis.
Nowadays, you’re much more likely to be checking for intolerances and allergies. And that’s where this engaging little timesaver comes in handy, with recipes that are free of even a breath of wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, yeast, or gluten - making this as much a curiosity as a cookery book. Set out over the four seasons, recipes that catch the eye for spring include prawn noodle rolls with Thai dipping sauce; chicken, watercress, and Quinoa salad; lamb korma, gluten-free spaghetti with asparagus and lemon pesto; honey-baked leg of lamb; and rhubarb streusel tart. Overall, the sort of book that will enable you to make delicious dishes that everyone will enjoy safely without having to worry about allergies or intolerances or, indeed, having an ambulance on standby.
