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,…

They’re grain free, FODMAP friendly, and contain basic pantry staples (of a vegan, gluten free household.) No psyllium husk eggs, no random gums or ingredients that take 6-8…

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,…

When it transpired that the tree on my balcony was full of cherries (and not ‘baby nectarine buds’ as I had believed) I knew pavlova was the order of the day. I’ve wanted to make a festive berry pavlova in time for Christmas for about 5 years in a row now. Turns out I’m as…

Living in Australia, I have a significant amount of Thanksgiving envy. While I have never actually had a Thanksgiving, I love how it seems to embrace the season and the cosy autumnal vibe. With that in mind, I’m publishing this FODMAP-friendly vegetarian Thanksgiving roundup. I believe they call this ‘living vicariously.’ Catering for vegetarians can…

It has taken me 29 years to realise that simple really is best. I’ve neglected developing salad recipes for years, too enticed by the challenge of the baked good or the intricate lasagne. This year that changes, and the change starts with this radicchio salad. The salad is studded with hunks of blue cheese and…

If you watch my Instagram stories, you might be aware that I’ve been following the SIBO bi-phasic diet after a round of elemental food. While I intend to write further about this, today I have something more important to share: grain free almond crackers that are SIBO bi-phasic friendly. For those who have done the…

I’ve been on a real involtini bender the last few weeks. As a result of my current adherence to an elimination diet, grains are off the menu and eggplant is their stand in. First, I made the involtini from my cookbook using tofu in place of ricotta. Second, I made an involtini version of my…

There are a few Everests in the gluten free baking world – bread, sourdough, cookies and pastry. Today we’re tackling pastry – specifically, easy gluten-free butter pastry. It uses an easy to find combination of flours to create a foolproof, flaky and all round delicious gluten free experience. In other words: it’s not so much…

If you’ve been watching my Instagram stories, you’ll probably know that I’ve been on an elemental diet of late. An elemental diet, for the uninitiated, is basically a hospital style pre-digested formula that you sip instead of ingest through a tube. Being unable to eat has meant I’m unable to work, and while Netflix and…

You all know by now that I am a total pesto fiend. If there’s a way to incorporate pesto into food, I will do it. When there’s an opportunity to work on a new pesto recipe, consider me there. So, today I would like to extol the virtues of my new favourite: FODMAP friendly kale…
