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,…

After the wild ride that was your reaction to the fudgy, grain free brownies, this had to happen. Introducing my new favourite child: vegan, gluten free brownies. 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,…

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…

Question? Is there anything better than homemade gluten free ravioli? Answer: yes. Homemade gluten free ravioli with brown butter, sage, and a low lactose spinach ricotta filling. Heaven on a plate. Admittedly, homemade pasta making does take time. Recipes like these are best for an afternoon at home as opposed to a weeknight. That said,…

In my opinion, there are two major victories in the game of gluten free recipe development: bread and pasta. We’ve conquered gluten free sourdough, so today I am very excited to announce my new conquest: easy gluten-free egg pasta. I have tinkered with pasta recipes, on and off, for a couple of years now. In…

Much like every other home baker, I’m slowly cycling through the many phases of social distance baking. First, there was sourdough. Next, there was banana bread. And finally, we’re onto cookies. Specifically, gluten free choc-chip cookies. If you have followed me for a while, you might remember my vegan, gluten free choc-chip cookies. They took…
Read MoreAh, Buenos Aires. For a city that I didn’t know much about before visiting, you sure got me good. Combining South American charm with European-esque architecture and a love of food, Buenos Aires is like no other city you’ve experienced. It’s also not necessarily known for being overtly vegetarian or dietary niche friendly. So let’s…

It has taken me until today to realise that I have never shared a basic, good old fashioned pumpkin soup. I’ve shared a Moroccan inspired pumpkin soup, a Thai style carrot soup and a green pesto soup, but never a straightforward pumpkin soup. So today, with ominous rainclouds outside, I’m sharing this FODMAP-friendly pumpkin soup. …

If you’ve been watching my Instagram stories, you’d already know that this recipe is coming. My passion for developing recipes that suit every diet is only surpassed by my passion for eating a brownie cookie for breakfast. So, after my success in developing a totally flourless brownie cookie, I turned my sights on to vegan brownie cookies. …
