Recipes by Thank Heavens – The Gluten Free Lifesaver

I’m not a chef nor a baker. I do not pretend to be anything out of the ordinary in terms of food preparation. However, I suspect the same applies to most people most of the time, so chances are you might be looking for the same stuff as I am.

I like to buy fancy foodie magazines with pretty pictures and mouth-watering promises. I also fall for the popular cookbooks of the season, and I browse the cool blogs abundant with fancy creations. When it comes to rolling my sleeves up and putting food on the table however, I rarely seem to pick up that fancy book. Instead I go for flavorful, hearty and manageable. I love to put my own GF twist to old favorites and make up my own recipes, and I usually just reach for my iPad or smartphone if I need a crutch along the way.

I am an absolute expert at trial and error, and my fiancée is an expert at washing pots and pans. We make an awesome team.

I keep a well stocked pantry, and I often get a sudden urge to whip up a treat. More often than not I cook more than we can chew, resulting in numerous dinner parties and edible giveaways. Last night, as our guests left the building, I looked at the leftover pavlova and said to my stuffed partner in crime; in ten years you’ll be too fat for that chair if I keep this up. “Ten?” he said, “I give you three”.

The recipes I blog are ones that I have found to please my tummy, my hubby and my guests. I emphasize on easy and yummy.

If something’s unclear or you’d like a hand, drop me a line. In fact, if you love it, hate it or have come up with a new twist, let me know.

Hope my recipes make your buttons pop too :)

  1. Talking of cookbooks… and I’m sure this is available worldwide (hmmm, prob check Amazon….) but my last Christmas prezzie to myself was “Sustained Energy for Gluten-Free Eaters” by Liesbet Delport RD (SA) and Sharon Alderson. One lady is nutritionist and founder of the Glycemic Index Foundaiton of South Africa and the other lady was an undiagnosed coeliac sufferer… together they figured out what was going on and together they developed recipes and wrote this book! In the book they also explain what Lo-GI is and how to eat it – so no more hi and lo blood sugar levels etc.. hence the ‘sustained energy’ title. Anyway… thought I’d just let ya know :) (There are some yummy traditional SA recipes in there too… ;) And, NO! Not goat! Geez….
