Most of us can knock up a custard but I had to go back in time to rediscover this particular pudding accompaniment. Now Liliane assures us that she is currently well on the way to having a proper working kitchen, but at that time the only 'work surface' was the top of the washing machine.
Though Brits are familiar with the starchy thickener we call cornflour (an invaluable gluten-free flour itself), I've been mixing things up with the golden variety. So when challenged to perk up a gluten-free baguette at the Allergy & Free From Show, I turned again to this faithful retainer. Katie was clearly touched when onstage I finally revealed what I was making. Picking up some wonderful cheeses along the way, including a vintage 3-year-old called Knuckleduster, I also discovered a delicious wild garlic pesto. So Northampton's first Winter Food Festival saw the debut of this little robin, perched wistfully on a chocolate, chestnut and cherry Swiss roll.
"Of course I'll bag them and tie ribbons on. Turning to classic recipes for a fatless sponge, I discovered that many already include cornflour, which is gluten-free, so I started with this and set about tweaking. And then a couple of weeks ago she kindly reminded me that I had yet to deliver. What it brought was a damp, shapeless mound, unable to conform to its castellated casing.

So this week's culinary offering was a black carrot and Knuckleduster tartlet with wild garlic pesto (there, I've said it again), which is now in the recipes section.

My second recipe, for Rose-scented raspberry biscuits, makes use of another floral discovery - rose extract. And then you present it to these experts.’.
