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…

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 did mention back when I did the gluten free brownies and the gluten free vegan brownies that I’d be back. Having gorged myself on various iterations of gluten free choc chip cookies (vegan and regular) recently, I needed a cookie break. Naturally, I turned back to brownies. Gluten free AND nut free brownies. Using…

I’ve done the best ever thing a lot recently. However, A) I always mean it and B) this is the best ever vegan potato salad, in my biased opinion. Unlike a regular potato salad, this version involves flavouring the potatoes while they cook, and again with the punchy, vibrant vegan mayonnaise dressing. The best ever…

Gluten free choc chip cookies. They’ve been a bit of a thing around here recently, I know. Buoyed by the success of the vegan, gluten free choc chip cookies from last week and the somewhat healthier almond butter version, I’m back, baby. This time with a nut and egg free version that utilises the richness of…

A BASIC RUNDOWN OF A GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH STARTER A gluten free sourdough starter is a simple mix of flour and water which is fed daily. Over the course of 6-10 or so days, this mixture, on a regular feeding schedule, grows in size and forms large bubbles which are capable of rising a loaf…

Did I not say I was going to ride this vegan tofu train until the end of time? Last week I made a vegetarian polpette bake. The polpette bake took inspiration from the vegan bolognese recipe, which spawned the vegan lasagne. Although the vegetarian polpette are a delight, I realised they had not followed suite on…

When Val Verde asked me to develop a passata-forward recipe, I thought immediately of vegetarian, FODMAP friendly polpette. After the success of the FODMAP friendly vegan bolognese recently, I developed a real penchant for utilising tofu as a meat substitute. Apparently I have also conflated meatballs with romance after watching Lady And The Tramp as a…

Directly on the back of the green pasta cacio pepe and pesto hybrid, here I am again with a pesto pasta soup. You all know I have a horrible/amazing habit of changing a couple of ingredients in a dish, and calling it new. I did it with the halloumi and honey roasted carrot salad (and subsequently…

Given the amount of coffee I drink, you’d think this would have happened sooner. While I think I was intimidated by making my own savoiardi, a gluten free lactose free tiramisu is not as unattainable as you’d think. With a few nifty tricks (like making your own mascarpone the night before) the coffee centric dessert…
