GF Baguettes!

Gluten free bread can be hit and miss, Sainsburys part baked GF baguettes are definite hit. Bung em in the oven for 8 minutes (6 in my fan oven) and eat them warm, ripped up, dipped in some lovely oilve oil and balsamic vinegar, with some tasty cheese and sliced tomatoes. Heaven. On the subject of olive oil, I bought Sainsbury's Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Taste The Difference 500ml this week, its very nice, save it for dipping and dressing vegetables and salads with, its too good and too expensive to cook with or waste when you wont be able to taste it. I have some cheaper organic oil in a big tin for cooking with, from Farmaround North.







The cheeses shown here are an organic cheddar from Sainsburys and some Comte from Borough Market in London. Comte is graded by some cheese scientists, and if yours doesn't make the grade then you cant name your cheese Comte, you have to call it Gruyere. It's hard, but bendy, and very nutty and moreish. If you get the chance then go to Borough market, go on a Friday after 12, or a Saturday for the full market. Unfortunately for the GF eater on the go, most of the freshly cooked meat products are sold in buns, but chicken burger people will skip the bun and just hand you the meat if you like! Fish do some lovely chips, but they are cooked with the battered fish, so slightly contaminated with flour. I would advice getting a lump of Comte, some parma ham or spec, and some salad and Spanish tortilla from the stall by the wheatgrass smoothie stand, maybe some olives too. Sit by the water and stuff your face. At Christmas Konditor and Cook make some wheat free (not GF) gingerbread stars that are nice, and there is a Wagamamas and Nando's nearby if you must. Go under the bridge towards the globe and you will come across 'Eat' that does a wheat free (not GF) sandwich of the day. Go the other way towards the Golden Hind and you will find Amano Cafe that make some very lovely salads, and the best panacotta ever! Take some panacotta with you to eat on the train home, yumyum. Borough Market is true foodie heaven.
