My List of Useful Ingredients (#ulink_c588b948-ee81-5053-a307-12b8e12bdd46)

My store cupboard positively groans with food and drink so that I never run short of anything wheat free. Here is a short list of the most useful ingredients and foods that you might like to have in your store cupboard, refrigerator or deep-freeze. As well as wheat-free products, I have included some gluten-and dairy-free suggestions, which may be helpful for coeliacs and those on combined diets. If you can buy organic produce and products whenever possible you will notice a great difference in the taste, texture and quality of the finished recipe.
