Gluten Free Baking Fairy

Gluten Free Baking Fairy Life in The Lakes and maybe some cooking. Chef

04/08/2026

Our granddaughter came to visit us on our day off.
It was the perfect opportunity to visit .
We’d discovered it quite by chance driving home from a hike around Arnside.

It’s a lovely compact wildlife park with some unusual animals I’d never seen before.
It’s also got a cafe and a gift shop.

A lovely couple of hours spent there.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I was going to show you what my kitchen look’s like, but who wants to see the kitchen when you can see this view.
It might be a dull day today in Bowness on Windermere, but it’s still beautiful.
The perfect temperature for working in the kitchen. 👩‍🍳

It’s time for some home truths 🩶

A lot of you have followed me since this page was Off The Wheaten Track. When it closed, it became Gluten Free Baking Fairy to keep the connection and the recipes going.

Truth is running Dome House alongside actually having a life (why we moved) meant recipe content dropped off the list, and the page lost its identity.

So here’s what’s changing: recipes and GF tips are getting a new home — The Dome House kitchen. Real cooking, real problems, real tips. I’ll even share some of the things Mr H does too 👀

Still gluten free, still me being me, just with more of the kitchen, life outside of work, and what it’s like living in The Lakes.

I hope you’ll stick around.🥰

A simple and tasty lunch or starter for a dinner party.
Grab yourself a gluten free baguette
Slice it diagonally.
Drizzle a little Olive oil across it and grill on each side until lightly toasted.
Finely chop and deseed a vine tomato and half a red onion.
Roughly chop some fresh basil leaves
Pop it all in a bowl and lightly mix together
Season with salt and pepper
If you like garlic add 1 clove of mince garlic and mix.
A a splash of apple wine vinegar.
Spoon onto your toasted baguette slices and drizzle with more olive oil.

Want to elevate it?
Grab a pack of decent quality mozzarella. Pat it dry with some kitchen roll and tear it into pieces and pop on top before adding your olive oil.

Simple and tasty.

I know I say this a lot, but food doesn’t need to be complicated to taste nice. 👌

This recipe also doubles as a nice canapé for a dinner party. Simple cut your baguette into smaller rings to make bite size crostinis.

Mr H & I, living and working our best life at Dome House ✨

Our location may have changed, but Mr H is still greeting every guest with that famous warm welcome and still wearing his cap. 😉

And I’m still exactly where I belong, in the kitchen, cooking the way I always have. Real ingredients, made from scratch, nothing hidden. That philosophy hasn’t changed, and it never will.

You might notice our six-course tasting menus are completely gluten free. (Summer menu available from 1st July)

When you cook from scratch with quality ingredients, removing gluten isn’t a compromise. It’s just the way good food should be made. As someone who knows how much it matters, I want every coeliac guest to feel genuinely looked after and catered for, not an inconvenience.

We’d love to welcome you — and if you’d like to know more, you can follow us at Dome House

A personal favourite creation of mine.
Super easy to make.
It can be a starter or a light lunch. You can even make a large one to share.

Use gluten free jus roll puff pastry. You don’t need the faff on making your own.

Cut a ring of pastry and place on a baking tray.
Pierce several times with a fork and wash with egg for a golden brown finish.
Pop in the oven for 10/15 mins.
Next cut a peach in half (remove stone) and roast for 10 mins.

Whilst it’s cooking mix together
1 tub Ricotta,
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
50g pine nuts crushed
Pinch of salt

Allow the pastry to cool, then spoon the ricotta mix onto pastry.
Slice the peaches and place on top of ricotta mix.
Drizzle with honey.
Enjoy 😉

Still serving up hearty breakfasts and yes, completely gluten free.

Full fat full English or vegetarian, being coeliac doesn’t mean missing out on your favourite scran.

So much food is naturally gluten free.
Stop over complicating what you make and start making dishes with real ingredients.
Most supermarket sausages are now gf as are hash browns.
And let’s be honest gf bread isn’t that bad now, especially if it’s toasted!

I know dining out is a different ball game.
Unless you visit us in the lakes 😘😉

Asparagus.

One of my favourite spring ingredients.
Here’s a different take on how to typically serve asparagus.

Charred spears, fresh chilli and ginger infused balsamic dressing, paprika-dusted orange segments.
Sounds like it shouldn’t work — but it’s a real crowd pleaser on my spring tasting menu.

The challenge is getting the balance of finely chopped fresh ginger and chilli right just right, make sure you deseed the chilli’s, you don’t want the spice overpowering the asparagus which is the star of the show.

✨ Top tip for perfect asparagus —
Blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then straight into ice water to stop the cooking.
Sauté in butter, salt and pepper for 1–2 minutes.

Always use extra virgin olive oil when making a dressing.
Yum 😉

Naturally gluten free, veggie and vegan and dairy free.
