These days, living a gluten-free lifestyle is extremely well catered for. Supermarkets, restaurants and cafés across the UK have lovingly and creatively remastered gluten-free recipes of every kind, from breads to cakes and all manner of delicious baked goods in between. Home-baking in glutenfree goods has never been easier, with specialised flours and recipe books guiding chefs and weekend-bakers alike.

We’re here to help guide you through the tricky art of gluten-free pastry, breaking down the science behind gluten-free replacements and helping you achieve pastry success time and time again.
