How to Dye Fondant Icing

Fondant already comes in a rainbow of delicious-looking colours, but unless you're a profesh baker or have a project coming up where you can justify purchasing 500 grams of the stuff in every colour known to man, you may find yourself wasting it and tossing what you don't use in the rubbish bin. Or, you could just buy the plain white stuff, break off a hunk of it as needed and dye it then and there, saving you loads of money and ensuring you aren't too wasteful.

 I've been sitting on this post since last year, when I made those triple chocolate eclairs. Those little red and pink fondant hearts were so easy to make and so cheap, too! Instead of spending money on a pack of pink fondant and a pack of red, I just bought white, cut off two bits, dyed them and then made hearts. Easy!

These gluten-free, additive-free fruit crisps are ideal snacks on the go.!

Emily Fruit Crisps Review

Being gluten free, lunch and snack times are some of the worst time for not eating gluten. Gluten dominates lunch times: it's in the bread for sandwiches, wraps and pasta. Most snacks are filled with gluten, too, so when you stumble across a delicious snack that's good for you and free of gluten, it's a goldmine!

Frittata muffins with tangy fried halloumi and fresh spinach, kale and smoked bacon. They're the perfect gluten free brunch item!

Yield: 10 frittatas
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Gluten Free Halloumi & Bacon Frittatas with Spinach & Kale

These little frittata muffins are full of flavour and perfect when you need a good gluten free brunch option! This recipe is special to me because it combines most of my favourite foods: Cypriot halloumi cheese, spinach, kale and smoked bacon with extra smokey flavour! One Sunday morning, I woke up and wanted something a bit different for breakfast and decided to try making my own frittatas.

Frittatas are an Italian dish, the word means fried and it's a favourite way to use up leftovers and it's also a quick and easy way to make a meal. Just about anything can go into a frittata and it can be served for breakfast, brunch, dinner or a late night snack. If you'll be serving your frittata for lunch or dinner, consider tossing in some pasta or rice, too.

Some of the ingredients for these frittatas were provided by Spanish fruit and veg exporters, 3P Fruits for the purpose of developing a recipe showcasing their exceptional produce. Thank you to the team at 3P for sending such a lovely selection across.

Ingredients:

For the frittatas
1/2 onion, diced
10 large eggs
40 grams baby kale
80grams baby spinach
100 grams halloumi, sliced
smoked paprika
sea salt
white pepper
olive oil

Gluten Free Cheese & Bacon Frittatas

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200c/400f.
2. Soften the onions in a large saucepan.
3. Add the bacon and fry until beginning to brown.
4. Sprinkle in some smoked paprika and continue to cook the onions and bacon.
5. Wilt the spinach and kale together in a dry saucepan.
6. Add the onions t& bacon to the wilted greens and allow to rest.
7. Scramble the eggs and divide the kale and spinach into the muffin tray.
8. Pour over the eggs, coming a little less than halfway up each muffin cup.
9. Place a slice of Halloumi on top of each frittata.
10. Bake in the oven for about 9 minutes  or until cooked through.

Shower your love with perfectly plump French eclairs this Valentine's Day!

2 Ways with French Eclairs for Valentine's Day

All my life, Valentine's days had been characterised by a string of bad, cheap candy. As a child it was those chalky-textured candy love hearts in ghastly pastel colours with barely visible and mostly indistinct love phrases printed on them. As I got older, Valentine's were marked with heart shaped boxes of foil wrapped "chocolates". I don't know what it is about February 14, but we seem hellbent on celebrating Love Day with cheap quality, poor tasting treats. Personally, I'm over it.
