My name is Nathan Bailey, a teenager who loves to cook. Being Gluten Free means many everyday recipes that most teens would eat are totally unsuitable for me. As some of you know my mum is Christine Bailey, a well known chef and nutritionist. I was asked to be involved in the judging for the children’s category for the Free From Food Awards this year. I tasted some great products and am looking forward to meeting the companies involved at the Awards ceremony. The following recipes are my creations (well, with my mum’s help). Hope you enjoy them. You may also be intereted in my blog, Teen Cooks Gluten Free. (For more on Nathan's mum's and a selection of her delicious recipes, click here.)

Seared Raspberry Duck
Serves 4 4 duck breasts 150g green beans, trimmed Heat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Heat a frying pan then drain the duck breasts and sear in the pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 minutes. Place the pan in the oven for a further 10 minutes. Blanch the beans in boiling water for a couple of minutes then drain. Place the green leaves on a platter and top with the beans and tomatoes. Slice the duck breasts. Place the marinade in a pan and heat gently. Pour over the duck breasts to serve.
Summer Berry Oat Slice
150g cashew nuts Preheat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5. Process the nuts in a food processor to form fine flour. Add the oats and process again to break them down. Place the dates, vanilla and coconut butter in a food processor and blend to form a paste. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well with your hands to form a crumbly dough. If too dry add a little water or additional melted coconut butter. Place half of the mixture into a greased and lined 20cm / 8inch square shallow baking tin. Press the mixture down well with a back of a metal spoon. Spread the fruit puree over the oat base then top with the remaining oat mixture pressing down lightly. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool then cut into slices.
Lemon Curd Cheesecake
A fabulous gluten and dairy free cheesecake. I used gluten free oat cakes from Nairn’s to make the base. Tofu is a great way of creating a creamy filling without the dairy. Serves 8 150g Nairn’s Gluten Free Oat Cakes Grease a 20cm spring form cake tin. Preheat the oven to 150C, gas mark 3. Place the oat cakes in a food processor and process until fine. Add the raisins and the melted spread and process to combine. Press it into the cake tin firmly. Place the tofu, eggs and lemon curd in a blender and process until smooth. Pour over the base. Bake in the oven for 1 hour. Leave to cool before serving.
