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.

Double Chocolate Orange Pots

It's the husband's birthday on Monday, but we are having a sort of birthday weekend. Tonight we are off to his parent's for dinner (Italian Chicken), Friday we are having friends round for dinner (Italian Buffet), Saturday we are going out to Livebait (fish!), Sunday dinner at my parents house (Yellow Chicken - a curry dish). The eating is going to be great! I just need to make the Italian buffet and the dessert for tonight and Friday.

I have decided to make some Double Chocolate Orange Pots when my Sainsburys order comes, four for tonight and four for Friday, the husband will happy eat them two nights in a row. The recipe is for a tart really, and you can bung it all in a tart case if you eat gluten. But who wants to eat the pastry really? The filling is the good stuff.

This recipe makes eight ramekins full, don't be tempted to squeeze the mixture into less larger pots, its very rich and will just go to waste. You can also make it in little coffee cups, that looks nice. This does use raw eggs, but the warm chocolate cooks them a bit, similar to a custard and it ends up like a thick chocolate mouse. Make sure you use nice fresh free range organic eggs with the lion mark if you can.

eggs 2
egg yolks 3
unsalted butter 300g
caster sugar 50g
quick set orange jelly 1 packet
oranges 3, finely grated zest of 1 and juice of 3
Green & Blacks dark chocolate 300g

Heat the orange juice and dissolve the jelly in it, add the zest when it has cooled a bit, this will make thick jelly, pour into your ramekins while warm and leave to set. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water, stir in the butter and melt that too, remove from the heat. Using an electric whisk beat the sugar with the whole eggs and egg yolks till it goes all thick and pale, then slowly pour in half the warm chocolate mixture and gently mix in. Pour this on top of the jelly. Chill till set, then re-melt the remaining chocolate mixture and pour this on the top. Chill till set, and then take out of the fridge about 30 mins before you serve them to soften up a bit.

I will post a picture after I have made them later!
