Bonjour from a sunny SW France,

After a week of rain, we finally have lots of lovely sunshine forecast for the next 10 days or so.

Perfect for both us and our guests who are enjoying their time in the Dordogne, visiting vineyards, some of the many chateaux, the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux and all of the other attractions that this fabulous region offers.

For me, this week has been an interesting week as I have learnt a lot about gluten free products and how to make gluten free cakes and biscuits.

Yesterday I even managed to make a batch of gluten free ANZAC biscuits and they taste almost the same as the"normal ones".

Here is the recipe for the gluten free raspberry and lemon muffins that I made earlier in the week...
