What a great collection, I’m particularly drawn to that red rice, I’ve not come across that before and it’s really interesting.

Gorgeous recipes, these! I don’t have a gluten intolerance but I do like to eat gluten free as often as I can.
Editor
Gluten-free is definitely a healthier way to go. Sometimes I wonder about the amount of chemicals being used in wheat products, especially the cheaper end of the market.
