Xanthan Gum is the magic ingredient that turns food that the lucky ones without intolerances wouldn’t eat, into food that is fit for all the family. When I received my first tub of gum (Thank-you Goodness Direct), I fell on it as the answer to all my baking frustration, and gaily sprinkled it into my cooking. A word of warning here, you really only need a little Xanthan Gum, the memory of my chocolate ice cream attempt that had the consistency of an industrial glue still comes at me in my dreams.

As with most cooking, you need to get to know your Xanthan Gum, and I’m still learning. Take what the tub says as a guide, but you might want more, you might want less, it will all depend on the end result to which you aspire. But do persevere, there will come that day when your child will turn to you with sparkling, excited eyes, and say, ‘Hey Mum, that’s lovely! Can I have some more!’
