Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I don’t normally make desserts as neither Dan nor I have a sweet tooth, but when we have guests over I make the extra effort – and if I’m making a dessert, I might as well make one that I can eat, right? This time …
For me, the Christmas season always feels like it begins when I make the Christmas Cake. You have to make it in advance and ‘feed’ it (see further down for how to do this) with whisky until the big day so it’s best to start …
