Erm... hi... my name is Howard and I am a flour addict.

Another delivery arrives and I have to face facts - this is getting out of control. My stash has outgrown the neat confines of my flour drawer and I need to make a choice - either I stop buying flours or I need more storage. This invasive floury creeper moved slowly, but it now only takes someone to innocently say, "Have you ever tried teff flour?" (as they did last week) and I have to have it. So today's arrival of teff has brought my current collection of gluten-free flours to ten. Oh, not including flour blends... or home made 'nut flours', which are basically just ground nuts, so you can't count them really.

I may be in denial but the good news is I've just spotted some space in the sideboard.

Clockwise from top right the collection is sorghum, chestnut, amaranth, teff, potato, hemp, quinoa, rice and tapioca flours. Gram or chickpea flour is in the centre.
