My First Wrap
Like probably many on a gluten-free diet, I’ve never eaten a wrap.
Especially, as I’d probably never actually seen one before I was diagnosed in 1998.
These pictures show a gluten-free Piri-Piri Chicken wrap, that I purchased this morning from the Marks and Spencer’s in London Bridge station.
I will certainly be buying another,
A few months ago I pointed out to Marks, that I was disappointed, that they had discontinued the gluten-free ham roll, which was easy to put in a pocket or a small bag, whereas traditional triangular sandwiches are not!
This new product would fit!
There was also a Three Bean wrap, for vegetarians or those who like to have wind!
A Small Cooking Spoon I Can Hang Up
There are two types,. of designers in the world; those like Kenneth Grange, who will never accept second best and then their are all the others.
I strive for perfection and only accept second best, when the best is impossible.
These pictures show my quest for a small cooking spoon that I can hang above my cooker. Where else is there to put the tools, you use to actually cook the food as opposed to prepare it.
My mother had a small wooden spoon, that was always used to stir beans or in a small milk saucepan.
I have been looking for one for myself for about ten years now and I’ve never found one, quite small enough.
I did find the red spoon, shown in the first picture, in John Lewis and I use it a lot. A small one like it, in blue, would be ideal, as it fits the IKEA hooks above my cooker.
So I decided to make it possible to hang the smallest wooden spoon, I’ve got alongside.
I just drilled a hole in it, with my trusty pocket drill and attached a cable clip.
It seems to work.
Three Good Gluten Free Links From The Londonist
I was looking for some gluten-free teryaki sauce and found these pages in The Londonist.
- Where To Buy Gluten Free Food And Ingredients In London
- London’s Best Restaurants For Gluten Free Dining
- London Pubs That Serve Gluten Free Beer
I shall be exploring.
Combined Food And Power
I suppose it sounds too good to be true to produce both food and power from the same industrial process.
But look at this page entitled Combined Food And Power on the Orthios Group web site.
The company might have something.
Serial Cooking – Lemon And Spinach Cod Gratin
This recipe is another from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.
Lindsey called it a speedy gratin, based on an idea from a reader.
I made it as one large one for two helpings for myself.
Serial Cooking – Smoked Haddock And Curried Rice
This recipe is another from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.
Lindsey called this an incredibly lazy twist on kedgeree. I have tried to make it even lazier.
Note.
- I started with a single Marks and Spencer’s smoked haddock. Just two pounds and no bones or skin.
- I hard-boiled an extra egg for the fridge
- I used an onion instead of shallots.
- I didn’t have any fresh chives or coriander
I rather liked it for a New Year’s Eve supper.
Is This Tube Advert Going To Upset Nicola?
I saw this advert on a Metropolitan Line tube train today.

Are some Scots, going to dislike the advert?
A Christmas Gluten-Free Sandwich From M & S
I was looking to buy a sandwich for my lunch tomorrow in Marks and Spencer in Islington and couldn’t see any bright green packets.
The reason was there were only two and several of these Christmasy sandwiches.
A Christmas Gluten-Free Sandwich From M & S
I’ve seen gluten-free Christmas puddings and mince pies, but I’ve never seen a seasonal gluten-free sandwich before!
Perhaps things are getting better!
Serial Cooking Teriyaki Beef And Noodles
This is another based on a recipe from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.
The main ingredients for meal for two, are a decent sirloin steak, an onion, 100 grams of green beans, a small cup of frozen peas, 50g of noodles and some teriyaka and soy sauces.
This recipe has various options and this is my method for two small portions.
It’s certainly more interesting that steak with chips and peas.
Cinty’s Fish Pie With Celia
Cinty’s fish pie is excellent and goes down well with a beer.
Cinty’s Fish Pie With Celia
I made two and the other kept in the fridge for a couple of days.
