Each birthday, I make my Dad a variation on a cheesecake. One year it was Nigella, one year it was Jamie, one year it was Nigella but with that sour cream top. The past few years, however, things have been getting a little inventive. Last year it was my own recipe for a cheesecake, topped…
Read MorePreserved lemon and herb pasta with haloumi, honey butter roasted carrots and fennel
So you might be thinking that this pasta looks suspiciously like the roasted carrot, halloumi, fennel and maple toasted pepita salad I posted last week. I’d like to be the first to confirm those suspicions. As I said on Instagram (I don’t want my lines to go to waste) I’m an expert in stretching out…
Read MoreHoney and butter roasted carrot salad with halloumi and herb sauce
Honey and butter roasted vegetables. A trick (can we call it a trick?) I’ve discovered when entertaining guests and realising, last minute, that I’m short on things for them to eat. Honey, butter and sea salt are literally all it takes to transform an otherwise side dish, into the main event. I can’t tell you…
Read MoreBrown butter, sea salt and quinoa flour brownie cookies
I mean, is there anything brown butter can’t improve? Because brownie cookies are good, but brown butter brownie cookies are better. I’ve been toying around with these brownie cookies for a while (and promising the recipe on Instagram even longer, soz) and they’re finally here. The delay is due in part to illness, but mostly due…
Read MoreCitrus, haloumi, avocado, dill and radicchio salad with maple toasted pepitas
Have you ever heard of the term ‘recipe not recipe?’ Good, because you’re about to get a recipe not recipe for salad. I posted this salad on Instagram a few days ago and was overwhelmed by requests to post the recipe online. As such, much to your dismay, I’m sure, there is no lengthy spiel…
Read MoreGluten free, FODMAP friendly chocolate cake
I was thinking of naming this ‘the chocolate cake you’d bring to a family lunch with Aunty Sheryl and your dairy intolerant cousin in one room,’ but that’s a little lengthy, and perhaps a bit offensive to Aunty Sheryl. To me, this cake tastes like my memory of Coles cake (fellow ‘strayans, you know) which…
Read MoreFODMAP Friendly oven baked chips with herb gremolata style sauce and coconut yoghurt
In what is seemingly a past life, I would, upon stumbling out of the pub on a Saturday night, walk past a local chip shop called Lord of the Fries. Not just any chip shop, they specialise in a variety of chip boxes, all smothered generously in a variety of vegan sauces. Think vegan mayo,…
Read MoreGluten free cheesy chickpea waffles
Chickpea waffles. In case you hadn’t guessed, this is a recipe that was created in seemingly another life – back when legumes didn’t bother me, and I didn’t live and breathe by the FODMAP acronym. Interestingly, I got a lot of requests on Instagram for this recipe when I changed my website over, so here…
