Sample Recipes
Chicken with mustard sauce (lactose-free)
Terribly easy. Can be frozen and reheated.
Ingredients (Serves any number)
Any amount of chicken thighs or drumsticks including skin
Dijon mustard
Wine or grape juice
Dash of mild runny honey or tsp. set honey (optional)
Method
Brown the chicken on each side in a frying pan with a very small amount of olive oil (or without any if using a non-stick pan). Pour off excess fat. While still in the pan, roughly coat one side of the chicken pieces with Dijon mustard. Turn and coat the other side.

Pour over the wine or grape juice to barely cover the chicken. Cook over low heat, partially covered (place a lid on the pan but lift it at one end so that steam escapes). During the cooking, turn the pieces and coat with a little more mustard. Reduce the wine/mustard sauce until thick - this may mean cooking uncovered at times, but the sauce thickens very quickly when uncovered. Add more liquid if it becomes too thick.

When the chicken is tender, taste the sauce and add the honey, if desired.
Amaretti biscuits (lactose-free)
Ingredients
125g (4oz) coarse ground almonds
175g (6oz) caster sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon almond essence
1/2 teaspoon salt
blanched almonds for decorating
Method
Separate the egg whites, beat with the sugar and salt until stiff. Fold in ground almonds and essences. Place dessertspoonfuls on baking trays which have been covered with baking paper and put one whole blanched almond on top of each. Bake in a slow to moderate oven (140oC-160oC, 290oF-325oF, gas mark 2-3) for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned. If they seem to be browning too quickly, cover with baking paper. Leave on the tray for a few minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
