Butter

Butter

Butter can be an extremely useful item to freeze. Our family have a gluten and dairy intolerance, but it is nice to be able to offer a visitor or guest some butter with their toast in the morning. You may want to freeze your butter to keep it fresh for baking.

Preparation

Freeze as soon after purchase as possible. Freeze in 225 g packs.

Packaging

Leave in packaging but wrap again in foil (to prolong life) and place in a labelled and dated bag or container. You can cut the butter up if you require smaller amounts, but it is best if wrapped back up in original packaging and then foil.

Thawing

Remove from freezer packaging (bag or container) and thaw 4 hours in refrigerator or 2 hours at room temperature.

Frozen butter once defrosted needs to be used up quickly so only take out of the freezer what you require.

Storage Time

Salted - 3 months

Unsalted - 6 months

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
