Sharing gluten free, pescetarian and FODMAP friendly recipes from Melbourne, Australia
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,…

Whenever I’m feeling sorry for my FODMAP self, I think of the low FODMAP vegans. As a general rule, vegans (or the vegans I see on Instagram, please forgive me) seem to eat a lot of fruit, and a lot of legumes – both heavily restricted on the FODMAP diet. If I couldn’t rely on…

Confession: I sometimes forget that not everybody has all day to cook their dinner when I develop recipes. My frozen tofu bolognese trick, as delicious as it is, does require a little foresight. The vegan ‘ricotta’ herb and zucchini tart is probably not something to whip up after the gym. FODMAP friendly pesto pasta, however, is…

These banana muffins – they look somewhat similar to my recent brown butter banana bread, right? You are an astute lot. They are, in fact, exactly the same. Some may call it unnecessary content milking, others may call it a helpful hint. I made these banana muffins after eating my weight in the original banana…

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I seem to be reading about it with alarming regularity on Instagram. As someone who is perenially single, Valentine’s Day has rarely been more than a Galentine’s Day event, or my Dad getting his mates to send an anonymous text message as a morale booster. Truly. My Valentine highlight…

When I was young, I was elated at the prospect of being in charge of my own meals. I used to be aghast when Mum had the audacity to feed me the same meal TWICE IN A ROW. Now, as a (supposedly) fully fledged adult, I have realised that adult dinners are often dip platters…

It’s a mouthful (figuratively and literally) but today we’re talking dark chocolate and blueberry studded brown butter banana bread. Although there are millions of banana bread recipes floating around (including one in my own cookbook) the limit does not exist, as far as I’m concerned. There are so many variations and so many different diets…

Can we quickly address the fact that the word sticky suddenly becomes desirable when discussing (buckwheat) noodles? Great, thanks. I needed that. Because of my sensitivity to grains, I have not provided you with many noodle recipes. Now that I’ve (re)discovered 100% buckwheat noodles, however, that’s all about to change. I recently bought some 100% buckwheat ramen…

We’ve done FODMAP friendly vegan bolognese. We’ve done FODMAP friendly vegan mac and cheese. It’s about time we put them together, and made a FODMAP friendly lasagne that is also vegan and gluten free. ABOUT DAMN TIME. As a single person who cooks for a living, I generally don’t ponder too much about what constitutes…

I’ve already done a vegan Caprese galette, so I figured it would be rude not follow up with a sweet variety. Given that it’s summer here in Australia, a vegan strawberry galette was the natural choice. Vegan pastry is surprisingly easy to make. Because pastry generally doesn’t contain eggs, all that needs substituting is the…
