Have a ‘free-from’
fifth of November
Bonfire Night’s the perfect excuse to organise a get together
with close friends and family, drink a tipple or two and share
some tasty snacks while enjoying the fun of an open fire. With
more people than ever opting for veggie, vegan, or gluten-free
diets, today’s guests have all sorts of different needs, which
is where Isabel’s ‘free-from’ range steps in - a wide range of
vegetarian, gluten-free mixes, they can be used to create all
sorts of easy sweet and savoury snacks. Try these moreish
bonfire night snacks out for size.

Italian mini loaves (8)
The ideal gluten-free option for topping with all sorts of delicious ingredients,
smothering in cheese and eating on their own, or for dunking into steaming
bowls of chilli or soup around the bonfire.
For the loaves:

• 125g batter mix
• 1tsp garlic powder
• 1tsp oregano
• 65ml olive oil or melted butter
• 2 free-range eggs
• 65ml milk

Toppings:

Whatever you like! From olives and onions, to
peppers, tomatoes, chorizo and cheese, make
the loaves your own and sprinkle all ingredients
on generously before baking.

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C and grease an
8-hole mini loaf tin.
2. Measure the batter mix flour, garlic powder
and oregano into a large bowl and mix well.
3. Make a well in the middle and add the eggs,
olive oil/melted butter and milk. Whisk all the
ingredients together well until you have a
smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Pour the batter into each loaf tin case. Top
with ingredients of your choice.
5. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes,
or until top is golden and a skewer can be
inserted into the middle and is clean when
removed. Remove from oven and eat!

Naughty, but addictively nice…
For the waffles:

• A waffle stick maker
• 100g Isabel’s Yorkshire pudding mix
• 2 large free-range eggs
• 160g milk
• 50ml vegetable oil

Method:

according to the packet instructions. Add

and turn on. Add the batter to each waffle

For dipping:

Whatever you please! A cheese fondue is a
great savoury shout, or go sweet with melted
chocolate and toffee sauce.
