What a fantastic Christmas with all the GLUTEN FREE trimmings. I actually cooked a small Christmas Dinner for friends - kangaroo roast (of course), and a chicken cooked with lemon and coriander, baked potatoes, peas and broadbeans from the garden, and a gorgeous herb salad also from the garden tossed with sesame oil and dried shalotts. This was followed by a gluten free lime roulade (from the Providore in New Gisborne), together with fresh picked berries. How is that? I am learning.
I did plan to make gluten free mince pies, but I received some from kind students, so that is yet to be tested. On Christmas night I had dinner with Debbie, Michael and JP. Debbie made the beetroot based christmas cake I gave the recipe for a few blogs back, except she served it hot instead of Christmas Pud. I have to say it was totally delicious served with ice-cream and tipsy cream.
And what is even better, I have not gained one ounce even after a few days of eating and drinking. Champers of course! I am absolutely the same size as I was before all the festivities. Pretty terrific, and the first time that has ever happened for me - it usually takes weeks of effort to recover. Not now I am eating for me...Gluten Free Forever!!!
