✨My cookbook is finally here🥹🤍✨
What a journey it’s been but I could not be more proud of every recipe! I’ve been working on this cookbook for two years, pre-pregnancy, during and postpartum😅Alhamdullilah for this incredible opportunity with @penguinbookssouthafrica .
✨I started my gluten-free journey about 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with IBS. This meant I had to change my lifestyle and pivot into a new direction. This book has been years in the making while I was trying to figure out my new lifestyle. Every recipe is different, unique and catered to anyone who enjoys baking, those who are gluten-free and even those who are not.
✨PRE-ORDER IS NOW OPEN AT: @exclusivebooks@wordsworthbookssa@lootcoza I will add all the links to my stories and to my bio.
✨I truly, truly hope you love this book as much as I do🤍🤍🤍
✨All about my book✨Here are a few things I learned while baking gluten-free for a year:
• The type of flour you use is so important to having a successful GF dessert.
•Cassava flour is amazing for cakes. It doesn’t work for every recipe but it gives cakes a great rise.
•Xanthan gum is required in almost every gluten-free recipe. It binds everything together just as gluten would. Flours that contain it are ideal so you don’t have to measure out something extra.
•Gluten-free isn’t just for those with Celiac disease or for those with an intolerance. If you suffer from inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis it will decrease the inflammation in your joints.
•Less gluten in your diet will reduce bloating around your mid-section.
✨This cookbook is for everyone to enjoy not just those who are GF. I hope you love it!
✨PRE-ORDER IS LINKED IN MY BIO🤍🤍

✨Gluten-Free Oreos✨I wanted to see if I could get them to taste as good as regular home baked Oreos and mission accomplished! You’ll want to save this recipe because something very exciting is coming this Sunday and this post is a little hint👀Recipe below.
•Recipe:
•1 cup GF flour (with xanthan gum)
•1/2 cup cocoa powder
•3 tbsp. Corn flour

•1/3 cup butter, softened
•1 cup icing sugar, sifted
•1 tbsp. Milk

Method:
Whisk to mix dry ingredients, then add in the butter, egg and vanilla. The cookie mixture will be crumbly, so make sure to knead it to come together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 40min. Roll the dough between baking paper to make it easier.
For the icing combine everything together and mix well.

✨I’m sure many of us are feeling very helpless with regards to what Palestinians are enduring at the moment. I process a lot through baking and sharing recipes. I decided to start a series where I share some classic Palestinian dishes, where we can appreciate, and understand their culture and everything they are going through😓May Allah (SWT) make it easy for them IA. I have linked a family to evacuate in my stories. Any donation will do🖤❤️💚🤍

•1/4 cup Tastywheat/semolina
•1 tsp. Baking powder
•1/2 tsp. Instant yeast
•1/2 tsp. Sugar
1 + 3/4 cups milk
•Whisk dry ingredients together. Pour in the milk and whisk until the mixture is very smooth. Similar to crêpe batter. Set aside to rest for 10min. Butter a pan and make sure it’s medium-hot. Add 1 and 1/3 tbsp. To the pan and fry until you see many bubbles forming. Once done and the bottom is browned remove from the heat. Do not flip, only one side should be browned.

✨Gulab Jamun✨This Indian mithai or sweetmeat is something I grew up having and it was my favourite out of all of them (there are a lot!). If you’re keen for something different to the usual donut, definitely give these a try!
•Recipe:
•150ml condensed milk
•2 tbsp butter, melted
•1/2 tsp elachi powder/cardamom
•1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
•1/3 cup milk
•1 and 1/3 cup self raising flour
•2 cups vegetable oil in a small pot for frying. Fry on low until golden brown so the gulab jamun cooks through.
•For the simple syrup- make it as you usually would and add in 1 tsp. Of rose water. Toss it inside so it’s coated well and slightly absorbs it and then toss in desiccated coconut and enjoy. If the dough seems too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until you reach a pliable consistency. Roll into long oval shape.
