If your child has a gluten allergy or a gluten intolerance, you suddenly realise just how many convenience foods contain gluten: from bread and pasta to things like bottled sauces and even baking powder! 

It’s possible to buy gluten-free bread and biscuits, but it’s usually cheaper to make them at home. And it’s less trouble than you think with delicious family recipes such as these, so easy even the kids can cook them:

• Cherry ripe slice (for afternoon tea or the lunchboxes)
• Gluten free choc chip cupcakes
• Gluten free breakfast apple muffins
• Muesli biscuits, gluten-free
• Pumpkin risotto
