I’m enjoying creamy recipes just now, can you tell? It’s something I miss since discovering that I have a dairy intolerance and since my willpower isn’t all that brilliant, I have devised many alternatives to my favourite dairy based recipes so that life can continue as normal. Dairy, gluten, egg and nut free. Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. It’s just good, wholesome food!
