More gluten/soy/dairy free successes

[sqbr]

Almond roulade. I made this hazelnut roulade recipe using almond meal and Orgran chocolate mousse and it was tasty. I intend on making it with hazelnuts when my family comes over this weekend. This recipe uses the egg yolk too which could be interesting.

And again, that's a soy and dairy and egg free chocolate mousse mix from Orgran. It's basically cocoa, sugar, and vegetable gum and tasted kind of funny by itself, but made a nice cake filling. Obviously it's not vegan once you put it inside meringue but there's other options :) I could only find this is health food stores.

The soy&dairy free almond dark chocolate from the Woolworths health food section, it has a name like "Artisan". One of the nicer dark chocolates I've eaten.

Corn tortillas from Coles. They're small and dry and crack fairly easily so don't suit burritos, but make a nice toasted sandwich with chicken and avocado. Searching online they're often used in a kind of mexican lasagna which could be interesting. Would probably be much tastier with cheese :/

The gluten free muesli from "Food for health life foods", bought from coles. A bit over sweet, but nice mixed with more plain cereals like Amaranth, and unlike a lot of mueslis doesn't have coconut.

Also I just encountered the idea of tamales and am intrigued.

Hot tamale? :)

Actually, very bland chili-and-cheese-free tamale :) It's funny how mexican food has gone from "Too much stuff I can't eat" to "Has more stuff I can eat than most other cuisines"...

you know, that really does sound delicious, I feel so terrible going out to restaurants, and picking the least painful meal...if we can find a way to have the flavours without the things that hurt, then I'm all ears.

Let me know how it goes please??

Don't hold your breath, the ingredients may be hard to track down.

For a dodgy simpler version there's always polenta :)

"Hot tamale" is a phrase that is misinterpreted. It means temperature hot.

Ahhhh. Well then, yes, hot tamales :)
