I have always considered myself quite a nice person. I like food of all shapes, flavours and colours. From every country and continent. I don’t discriminate, I am an equal opportunity eater. It’s only the doctors who say I’m intolerant. And certain foods who refuse to tolerate me. They certainly refuse to recognise and respect my right to eat them without major physical discomfort and distress.


Gluten and lactose are not my friends.


Despite the negative attitudes surrounding me from many of those I love best, (cakes, ice cream, hot toast) I decided to become a chef. Not always easy when you live in a bread and milk filled world. I like to think that this has helped me become a better person as I embrace my differences and refuse to let the gluten get me down. I believe InTolerance. I am the InTolerant Chef.

Food should not be about what you can’t eat, but what you can and what you enjoy eating. This blog is about my journey of cooking and eating and discovery. It’s not a definitive guide to allergy awareness nor do my intolerances make me an expert. Your body is your responsibility, not mine. I only know what works for me.


I can tell you this..... No glutens were harmed in the making of this website.

Peanut Butter Choc Chip Skillet Cookie


This week is our first week of School Holidays

The Winter break is a great time to curl up in woolies all day, watch a few movies, let the immune system get on top the lurking lurgies, relax and be just a little bit lazy

I spied this style of cookie a few weeks ago in a cooking magazine. It was made, cooked and served all in the same dish- sounding good....
Then lovely Tania posted a yummy sounding reminder, and I knew this cookie was meant to be. I fiddled around with my own ingredients and measurements, and part of the whole lazy sentiment with the use of just one measuring cup so brains in holiday mode don't have to think too hard at all


Littlej just loves chocolate and peanut butter together, so as she has worked very hard this semester and produced a pretty impressive report card, this cookie is deicated to her and with her teenage appetite it certainly won't last very long indeed!



Peanut Butter Choc Chip Skillet Cookie

125gm Butter or dairy free alternative
1 1/3 cup gluten free SR Flour
1/3 cup Cocoa
1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1/3 cup Castor Sugar
1 Egg
1 tab Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
1/3 cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup Dark Chocolate pieces (70% or dairy free)
1/3 cup Chopped Peanuts


Melt the butter over a low heat, then allow to cool for a few minutes




Add in the sugars and vanilla and stir together




Mix in the egg until well combined




Add in the cocoa, flour and salt



Stir it all together well until it makes a thick, smooth batter




On top of the batter, drop dobs of peanut butter and little clumps of chocolate chips and nuts




Carefully marble them through the batter but be careful not to mix it all together. Streaks and blobs of extra flavour are all good




Pop the whole skillet into the oven at 180* for about 20 minutes. The cookie will still be a bit soft in the centre




Allow the cookie to cool in the skillet, and either serve it still just a bit warm and gooey, or in crispy wedges as well. Or you could add a few big scoops of lactose free icecream to the top and let everyone just dig in out of the actural skillet!




See, still a bit gooey in the middle- perfect!




So yummy and good- and hardly any washing up!



So Dear Readers, do you like to curl up in front of a fire on your Winter Holidays or prefer to be out and about skiing the slopes?

    I saw this on Tania's blog. Like you say, this is great for the school holidays. I can imagine though that this would disappear very quickly! xx

    If I go back to scholl and do real good, can I come live at your house? That cookie is some reward and sounds incredible. Whom do I call about transferring my credits? :)
