Toasted Corn Tortillas Ingredients: (makes 32 triangles)

• 2 x Corn Wraps
• 1 egg yolk
• Savoury topping of your choice – I used sea salt. Seeds e.g. sesame, poppy, linseed, flaxseeds would work well.

Toasted Corn Tortillas Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

Cut the Corn Wraps into triangles. Spread a thin layer of egg yolk to each triangle. Sprinkle with your chosen topping.

Place on a baking tray at the top of the preheated oven for 3 minutes (watch them closely to avoid burning!).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Enjoy as an afternoon snack or with a choice of tapas, dips or as an accompaniement to Dairy Free Guacamole and chilli.

Gluten free cornflakes ingredients: Maize*, Rice Malt*, Salt 

NB. Rice malt is a thick syrup made by the traditional malting of cereal grains. Traditional malting produces a rich and delicious flavour and provides a balance of maltose and complex sugars. This is however said to be friendly for those on an anti candida diet. 

They are thicker and more crunchy than normal cornflakes and I love them. I tend to normally have oats for my breakfast and buy these gluten free cornflakes as a treat; I like to have only a small amount of products such as rice malt as when trying to avoid all sugars, anything with a sweet taste can feed a sweet tooth.

Corn Cake Ingredients: Corn (99.7%), sea salt.

I like my corn cakes with some, sugar free peanut butter, dairy free spread, maybe a few prawns or just plain with a bowl of soup. So how do you eat yours?

They are high in fibre with no added sugar, corn thins are made with all natural ingredients and have no artificial flavours, no artificial colours and no preservatives – so a winner all round.

Corn thins low down:

They might look like a rice cake but corn thins are much lighter, crispier and I think tastier too, give them a try and let us know you favourite topping. Corn Thins are fairly widely avalibale now so you can find them in most larger supermarkets in the crackers section.

I could select from vodkas made from potato, wheat, rye and even corn! I felt spoilt for choice, but knew – being a big consumer of all things corn! – that I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to try Rain - corn vodka, distilled in the USA. I ordered it mixed with sparkling water, ice and a wedge of fresh lime – it was so good. None of the shivery after taste you can get from cheaper, main stream vodkas and knowing it was friendly for my system made it even more enjoyable.

Rain - corn vodka

Corn vodka seems to come primarily from the USA where a few different brands are produced. If you’re interested in trying corn vodka it might be worth scouring round to see if you can find a brand retailed in the UK. The one I tried, Rain corn vodka can be purchased direct from their website at http://www.rainvodka.com/ however it will need to be shipped over from the US which will make it a bit more pricey. If you are keen to enjoy a relaxing alcoholic drink and are intolerant to wheat / potato / rye which most mainstream vodkas are made from, then I definitely think it is worth going that extra step and extra few pounds to have some corn vodka available in your cupboard, ready for an occasional tipple. If I find any UK retailers I will let you know.

Cheers to corn vodka and all fellow fussy foodies!
