Gary's baking page

 

Welcome to my baking page. I have cooked for some time but recently I decided I wanted to bake as well

 

Most of my recipes do not contain gluten and very few have added salt. Some are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

 

Cooking In Thailand One of the things you may notice is that when I cook I will not use low fat, low sugar etc as I feel that if you want to cook with a product you should use the 'real' ingredients.

 

The other rule that I normally use is that I if I cook vegan or vegetarian I will not use 'meat substitutes' as part of the fun of cooking is discovering new ingredients.

 

If you want to see some of my other receipes see my cooking page for recipes. I want to start baking my own gluten free breads as the ones on the market are dreadful; ditto flatbreads.
