A Meg Rivers Mother's Day
Mother’s Day can be complicated.
For some, it is full of flowers, cards and roast dinners. For others, it comes with mixed emotions – absence, grief, or relationships that don’t fit the usual picture.

Recipe : Wheat Free Fruit Cake - Great for Christmas
Perfect for chilly autumn afternoons, or as a wheat free Christmas cake, this is one of our oldest and most popular cakes, this version is wheat free, which makes it a little more crumbly when sliced than our wheat version, having said that, it tastes every bit as good.
Shortbread
Crisp and buttery, these simple-to-make biscuits have long been a favourite. Meg's recipe uses cornflour/cornstarch for a creamier texture and rice flour to give a crisper bite. You don't mess with the classics - it took us 10 years to decide to add a pinch of salt!
Recipe : Madeleines
These lovely little cakes, shaped like scallop shells, are believed to have originated in the Lorraine region of France. Since Marcel Proust gave them a mention in his novel ‘Remembrance of Things Past’, generations of French children have come home to a plate of these to dip in their ‘chocolat chaud’. They work equally well with a nice cup of tea or coffee. Happy baking!
