The UK’s leading gluten-free food manufacturer, Genius Foods, has launched an extremely tasty Gluten Free Mince Pie in time for Christmas. This is aimed to help people who have to cut down on gluten enjoy the festive season too!
Genius Foods, which already makes bread, bakery products and pies, has blended the delicious taste of a traditional mince pie filling and encased it in a light but crisp gluten-free pastry. The end result is a mouth watering scrumptious mince pie which could well be the best mince pie you have ever tasted!
Coming in a pack of 4, these mince pies are wrapped in a delicious shortcrust pastry, and are filled with juicy sultanas, currants and raisins. All you have to do is simply remove the packaging, place in the oven to heat through for 8-10 minutes, and enjoy! You may have to purchase a few boxes though, as there might not be any left for Christmas guests after you eat them all!

Gurpareet Bains created and produced the ‘Worlds Healthiest Meal’ in 2009, and immediately hit the international spotlight. This was a simple Chicken Curry with Blueberries and Goji Berry Pilau, all of which contained the antioxidant-equivalent of 23 bunches of grapes – this is definitely one to try! And now, just in time for Christmas, he has published his debut recipe book - Indian Superfood. Already a no.1 bestseller, this recipe book is guaranteed to make a fantastic gift for all foodie enthusiasts.
He has used information, researched from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), finding that nearly ¼ of the top antioxidant-rich foods available to us are, in fact, spices. He combines these spices in abundance with nutrient-dense vegetables, fruits, low-fat proteins and nuts – widely known as superfoods – to create Indian Superfood, a collection of the world’s most antioxidising recipes.
It’s no surprising that Gurpareet has a hug celebrity fan base, including Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Goldie Hawn, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Chris Evans and many more. His food is delicious, beautiful, has an incredible flare and makes you feel good!
With 216 pages in this recipe book Indian Superfood, there are plenty of recipes to tantalise your taste buds. There are 7 sections in total, giving you ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, side dishes, light bites, cocktails and refreshments and of course sweets. The recipes are fairly easy to follow and you honestly don’t have to be a master chef to accomplish the perfect dish.
If I was to use Gurpareet’s recipes throughout the day, here would be a menu of my choice:-
Breakfast – Ginger-infused yogurt with honey and pomegranate.
Lunch – Salmon and sweet potato fishcakes.
Dinner – Best ever chicken tikka masala, with a side of foolproof pilau and naan.
Dessert – Indian spotted dick with goji berries and toasted almonds.
Mmmmmm, I’m hungry after just writing that! His work is astounding, and knowing that you get nothing but good from eating Indian Food is amazing! As Gurpareet Bain says – “Superfood + Superspices = Indian Superfood”!
You can purchase this wonderful book from Amazon for only £9.09 – click HERE for more details.

I would like to introduce you to the AirFryer from Philips…It’s time to ditch your deep fat fryer for good.
A new healthy way to ‘fry’ food, the Philips AirFryer has become the most useful tool for Slimming World users. You could eat a bucket load of home made chips and still remain syn free.
The AirFryer uses patented Rapid Air technology to ‘fry’ food without adding extra oil but achieving the same crunchy result.
For Syn Free Slimming World chips, just slice potatoes and add to AirFryer. Use a cooking oil spray like frylite and wait for perfectly cooked, HEALTHY chips!
For Slimming World users and for anyone who wants to eat healthy, this is a revolutionary product. In our society which is trending to the obese, this is possibly the most important new product for the kitchen in recent times.
As well as being high performing, The AirFryer is a good looking gadget too. Sleek and subtle, this will fit right into your kitchen and right into your lives.
In addition to cooking great tasting syn free chips, the AirFryer is capable of cooking lots of different food, even things like tempura prawns. Of course, all the food is cooked a lot more healthier than any other possible form.
I have to say that sausages also work really well too! No flipping, just throw them in and turn on the timer.
The Philips AirFryer is available from electrical retailers including Argos, Amazon and Ideal World.
I have reviewed ProCook before, and have been astounded at the unbelievable bargain that you can get. They offer incredible discounts on accessories for the kitchen at a fraction of high street prices. Gifts for the home this Christmas could well and truly be completed with ProCook, making your shopping easier and very much so cheaper! Oh, I do like a bargain!
Procook’s graduated red salt pig, could be a simple and practical Christmas gift for many food lovers! It’s very cute and would sit wonderful on any kitchen top.
With a creamy interior and graduated red glaze, this salt pig will grace your kitchen whilst holding a generous quantity of salt at the ready. It is finished with an integral knob on the top making it easy to transport to where needed. On receiving the Salt Pig (which I must say is a fantastic name!), I was pleasantly surprised at the size of it! It is much bigger than I thought it would be, making it easy for ‘chunky’ fingers to grab whatever amount of salt needed. There is also range of oven to tableware and kitchen accessories which all match.
This lovely Salt Pig is available for £6 (saving you an amazing £6 of high street prices) from http://www.procook.co.uk.
