MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This year has flown by more quickly than ever and we hope 2018 has been one to remember. yum.

PERFECT ROAST PORK WITH MACADAMIA & CRANBERRY STUFFING { INGREDIENTS }
2kg Sherwood Road Organics boneless pork loin, rind on 1 tsp olive oil Good quality sea salt STUFFING: 1/2 cup raw macadamias, chopped 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 small brown onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1/4 cup organic cranberries 1/4 cup sage leaves, chopped 2 cups paleo breadcrumbs* The night before, prep your pork. Drying out the rind the day before will produce the best result for crackling. Remove pork from any packaging and dry well with paper towel. Score rind at 1cm intervals, approx 1cm deep (try not to cut through meat). Place in fridge, uncovered overnight (or for approx 12 hours). On day of cooking, dry pork rind again with paper towel and bring to room temperature. Preheat fan-forced oven to 200’C. To make the stuffing, toast macadamias in a medium frying pan. Remove from pan, set aside. In frying pan add oil, onion and garlic and sautÊ until soft. Set aside. In a mixing bowl combine macadamias, onion, garlic, cranberries, sage and breadcrumbs. Scrunch to combine. Place unrolled pork on a flat surface, rind down. Slice horizontally through the thickest part of pork, be careful not to cut all the way through. Press stuffing along the width of where you cut. 10. Roll pork up tightly and use kitchen string at regular intervals to Rub rind with 1 tsp olive oil and a generous amount of sea salt, rubbing salt into scores. Place pork onto a roasting tray with greased rack. Roast for 1 hour 45 mins or until outside is golden and crisp. Once cooked to liking, allow to rest before slicing. TIPS: You can also use gluten free bread crumbs. Paleo bread is typically moister than gluten free bread, however if using gf bread and mixture appears dry, add 1 lightly whisked egg to the stuffing before adding the pork. + Serves 8 + Prep: 35 min. Cook: 1 hr 45 mins.

GLUTEGUARD
If you follow a gluten free diet you know how hard it can be to manage it during the holiday season. Work events, trips overseas and Christmas celebrations share a common factor - food! In most cases it’s not prepared by yourself, increasing the risk of gluten cross-contamination. But don’t stress, GluteGuard is here to help. This Australian product was created by scientists after decades of research into gluten and its effects on those sensitive to it. GluteGuard is the ideal tool for those who want to follow a truly gluten-free diet. GluteGuard’s natural enzymes are able to breakdown undigested and harmful peptides in gluten before they interact with the intestinal lining. In this way, GluteGuard helps to prevent the symptoms triggered by the inadvertent consumption of gluten allowing you to remain gluten free even if your meal is accidentally contaminated. Take GluteGuard with you this holiday season. GluteGuard is not intended to be used as a substitute for a gluten free diet Receive 15% off + Free Shipping in your next order, simply use the code CHRISTMASWITHGG when placing your order at glutagen.com.

G LU T EN FR EE W E UN DE RSTAN D T HE WEIGHT THIS F ES TIV E S EAS ON CAN CARRY F O R T H O S E W I T H DIE TAR Y RE ST RIC T IONS . HERE ARE OUR TOP TIPS AND S WAPS TO MA KE T H IS C H R IST MAS H OL IDAY ONE F ULL OF (G LUTEN F REE) CHEER!
The holiday season is supposed to be one of joy, unity and feasting. We LOVE the sound of those three things but when you are diagnosed with coeliac disease or have another dietary restriction, joy can be stripped from a lovely occasion. We can experience feelings of isolation instead of unity and let’s not even mention the feasting bit. But no longer! We are here to give you our top tips to make sure this is the most wonderful time of the year, regardless of your dietary needs.
tip 1
HOLIDAY FEASTING WITH FAMILY
• Brief the family on cross contamination. Compare it to a severe food allergy. • Propose a menu and suggest food swaps
We give you simple tips for safe holiday feasting and work or social functions and our favourite classic product swaps. As we make this transition into a gluten free life, it is important to note the mental health component of a dietary restriction. People with coeliac disease tend to have higher rates of anxiety and depression which is why we are so passionate about reducing these areas of stress in your life.
• Offer to make what’s going to keep you the fullest so you know, no matter what you won’t go hungry • If you’re cooking on the BBQ, make sure it’s clean or put your items on foil to keep them separated Setting the table:
Above and beyond all else, remember the reason behind the season. The holidays are a special occasion to spend quality time with those who mean the most to you. This is when we celebrate our family traditions and honour our various religious beliefs. If this season tends to raise your stress levels, take some time for self-care. Try taking a few deeps breaths, use calming essential oils and focus on the small moments with those who mean the most to you. Let those be the memories you take with you forever. Read on for our top tips for a cheerful festive season!
Make sure the GF food is first
Label platters and bowls
Provide a dedicated utensil for each item
• Serve yourself first and LOAD UP so you won’t have to stress about cross contamination as everyone serves themselves • Take a digestive enzyme like GluteGuard. Whilst this doesn’t replace the extreme precautions mentioned above, it is just one more step you can do to protect yourself against damage caused by incidental cross contamination. • Smile! It will help reduce stress so you can enjoy the day.

TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all were asleep, The kids behaved sweetly, dreaming of GF treats. The kitchen was clean, not a cup out of place, Prepared for the big day of cooking they’d face. Prawns, salad and mash all prepped in advance, Risk of cross contamination? No, not a chance. Every label was checked, in-person or by text. Thanks to my phone, mum’s no longer perplexed! When Aunties aren’t confident in their GF abilities, Their mince pies and puddings come from safe facilities. Christmas has come! Let’s go set the table. GF foods first with their own spoon and label. So cross contamination won’t ruin your day, Fill your plate first, yes even the parfait! When first diagnosed the holidays felt stripped. Now, these simple steps keep me joyfully equipped. So relax and smile, knowing you’re safe as can be. Enjoy this precious time with friends, God and family! - Olivia Jackson Battye

tip2
WORK AND SOCIAL PARTIES • Contact a few venues and suggest locations you know you can serve you • Ask to place the food order or give your boss a “script” • Make sure your food is on a separate plate or platter • See if you can bring your own plate (Grab some meats, cheese and GF crackers from the shops or even sushi with GF soy sauce) • DRINKS: With the exception of beer, all alcohol is gluten free according to Coeliac Australia, However, be careful of flavours, mixers and soft drinks! To be safe, stick with wine, champagne and have a list of safe ciders. If you love a cocktail, just be sure to speak to the bartender about mixer ingredients.

SCALLOPS, WITH HONEY LIME (AND VODKA) DRESSING { INGREDIENTS }
FOR THE DRESSING: 1 lime, cut into quarters 2 teaspoons honey 5 tablespoons vodka, optional FOR THE SCALLOPS: 12 scallops, roe off (+12 shells for serving) freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon olive oil TO SERVE: finely sliced long red chilli 12 coriander or baby basil leaves Muddle (squeeze and mash) whole lime wedges with honey in a cocktail shaker or clean jar. Add vodka, if using, cover with a lid and shake. Stand for a couple of minutes for the flavours to infuse. Using a small sieve, strain the dressing into a small pouring jug. Pat dry scallops with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides with freshly ground pepper. Heat oil in a small frying pan set over medium high heat - you need to sear the scallops so the pan should be very hot. Sear scallops on each side for about 30 seconds. Remove scallops from pan and place one on every shell. Drizzle with the honey lime (and vodka) dressing. Garnish with a slice of chilli and a herb leaf each. These can be served with a cocktail fork, or eaten like oysters. Don't forget to slurp the dressing! + Serves 12 + Prep: 10 min. Cook: 4 min.

LINZER COOKIES { INGREDIENTS }
2 cups gluten free all purpose flour 1/4 cup icing sugar 185g salted butter, chilled and cubed 1 medium-large egg yolk 1-2 Tbsp chilled water 1/4 - 1/2 cup store-bought raspberry or strawberry jam 2-3 Tbsp icing sugar, for dusting EQUIPMENT Snowflake cookie cutter or your choice of cookie cutter and small round piping nozzle
In a high-speed food processor, add flour and icing sugar. Pulse a couple of times to blend together. Add chilled cubed butter. Pulse for 15 seconds until mixture resembles coarse crumb. With processor running, add egg yolk through the shoot and pulse until just combined. Through the feed shoot, drizzle a little chilled water while pulsing the mixture, until it begins to come together but not a ball of dough. If the dough is still too dry, add a little more water. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Bring together and gently knead until it forms a smooth dough ball. Divide dough in 2 equal halves and flatten each into a round disc. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, set aside. Remove dough from fridge. On a lightly floured work surface or on a sheet of baking paper, roll one dough half out to 2-3mm in thickness. Add more flour to the surface if dough begins to stick. Take the snowflake cookie cutter (or cutter of choice) and cut out the bases. Place each on lined tray. Re-rolling excess dough until used up. Roll out remaining half of dough to 2-3mm in thickness. Add more flour to the surface if dough begins to stick. Take the snowflake cookie cutter (or cutter of choice) and cut out enough tops to match the bottoms. Take the round nozzle and carefully cut out a small hole in the middle of each top. Place each on lined tray. Re-rolling excess dough until used up. Return to the refrigerator to chill for a further 15 minutes. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until pale and very lightly golden around the edges. Ensuring not to over-cook. Remove from oven and cool on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread approx. 1 - 2 teaspoons of raspberry jam onto the middle of the bases. Dust icing sugar over the tops. Gently place the tops over the bases, slightly sandwiching them together. Serve and enjoy! NOTE: Store in an airtight container, in the pantry or refrigerated, for 4-5 days. + Serves 10-12 cookies + Prep: 30 min. Chill: 45 min. Cook: 10 min.
