  • Gluten free teff bread

    A very good friend of mine recently gave me a recipe book, filled with delicious gluten free bread recipes.  I’ve been going through them and trying them, adapting them to suit my tastes when necessary.  The book isn’t translated into English, but if you understand French, then I thoroughly recommend it!  It’s available on Amazon…
