Sharing gluten free, pescetarian and FODMAP friendly recipes from Melbourne, Australia
I have been on a true Bon Appetit Youtube channel bender these last few weeks. While It’s Alive with Brad Leone is undoubtedly my favourite show (if you know, you know) something else caught my eye, too. Claire’s cherry cobbler. Watching Claire make a cobbler was an enlightening and emboldening experience, to say the…

After realising that my favourite version of the recent brownie was in fact the vegan variety, I have had a vegan baking epiphany. There’s something so triumphant about creating cookies that seemingly shouldn’t be able to exist. AKA: vegan chocolate chip cookies, that are also gluten free, nut free and FODMAP friendly. No egg substitutes,…

I’m learning that brownies, much like cookies, are an unexpected art form. On the surface, it would seem that brownies are fairly straightforward. Mix it up, bake it, slice it, eat it. On closer inspection, however, one realises that there is a world of possibility and a world of proper brownie technique. Today, we’re delving…

In my pre-vegetarian, pre-FODMAP days, I was particularly partial to a good mince bolognese. So much so that I was always willing to be the person to painstakingly crush the mince into little pieces. I couldn’t allow someone else to cook/ruin my beloved mince, the only form of meat I would eat. These days, however,…

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES For something that is so simple, a regular cookie is a hard thing to master. There are so many variables when it comes to a good quality cookie. The flours used, the butter (is it brown? Regular? Vegan? Coconut?) – to name but a few. Regular cookies are subject to the whims…

By now you all know that I love me a galette. Having the patience of a youthful chimpanzee, I loathe crimping pastry into neat little fluted tins or shapes. Particularly gluten free pastry, which is fickle at the best of times. You also probably know of my new affinity for quinoa flour, and quinoa pastry.…

I’ve demonstrated before (on Instagram, in my cookbook) that I love a good dukkah roasted carrot salad. I also tried to demonstrate my love for hummus in my cookbook, but I ended up inadvertently making baba ganoush. So today is a groundbreaking day for my FODMAP self: I’ve made zucchini hummus. Don’t get me wrong,…

I have wanted to post an easy gluten-free funfetti cake recipe for a long time now. What has thwarted me, though, is how hard it is to develop a recipe that successfully suspends sprinkles in the batter. My first 124983 attempts lead me to the same place: a pale yellow cake up top, a dense…

Before we begin chatting about this gluten free spanakopita tart, a caveat: this is not a traditional Greek spanakopita. There’s no gluten free phyllo here, because, try as I might, I have never managed to get phyllo to work in a way that didn’t take HOURS. Speaking from experience: individually rolling little sheets of phyllo…

Larb is a a meat based salad traditional to Laos and Thailand. Although I haven’t been to either Laos or Thailand, I developed a deep love of the South East Asian flavours when I visited Vietnam and Cambodia. Makrut lime, Vietnamese mint, Thai basil, lemongrass and galangal – does it get any better? I also…

Mother’s Day is peak ‘zucchini in dessert’ time at my house. That’s because my mum is a diehard fan of Nigella Lawson’s zucchini cake in How to Be A Domestic Goddess. We’ve experimented with making mum different desserts, but we always come back to the humble zucchini cake. I’ve made a gluten free version of…

I have wanted to make a FODMAP friendly vegetarian moussaka for about as long as I’ve been making tofu mince. Finding more ways to use that simple tofu ‘mince’ a la my bolognese and lasagne is my part time job, after all. So when Val Verde asked me to develop a recipe using their passata,…

Given how much I enjoy them, I don’t develop nearly enough dip recipes. With crudites, on roast vegetables, inhaled from the container; there’s not much dip cannot do. This FODMAP-friendly spring onion dip is no exception. In fact, it might just be my favourite homemade dip to date. Whip it up the night before to…
