I'd recommend the book "Vegetarian Cooking Without" by Barbara Cousins
if you can get it. I've tried quite a few recipes from it now and they
have all worked perfectly.

Thw "Without bit refers to the fact that they are vegetarian recipes
free from Added Gluten, Sugar, Yeast, Dairy Products, Meat, Fish,
Saturated Fat . And very tasty they are too!

I've just cheked and Amazon has is from 5.75 UKP for a second hand one.

I find that a sticky liquid helps too. In sweet dishes, pureed apple can
be good. I'm thinking of trying a pureed courgette (zuchinni) to see if
that helps stick it all together.

Definately. My husband doesn't like commercial GF bread, so I don't buy
it often, but occassionally make bread at home. It's usually eaten fresh
from the oven the first day, toasted the second and then made into
breadcrumbs for the freezer.
