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,…

Ah ricotta. We have a mostly love but a little bit of hate relationship, don’t we? While my somewhat severe lactose intolerance seems to have mostly disappeared with age, my disagreement with an excess of especially milky foods remains. Which is why I have developed this super simple, speedy and cheaty lactose free ricotta recipe…

Last week I posted a recipe for a vegetarian Caesar salad with salt and pepper tofu ‘croutons.’ Given that the original recipe is easily made vegan, a vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe was the logical next step. So, here we are. This vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe uses pre-made vegan mayonnaise as it’s base. Because…

I’ve never truly understood the fuss about caesar salad. That is, until I started making it about a week ago. Ooof! That unctuous, tangy dressing? Those salty crunchy bits? Caesar salad is salad heaven! Naturally, due to my FODMAP constraints and vegetarian, I had to play around a little. So here we are with this…

I have a well documented penchant for buying a frivolous amount of pretty tomatoes at the farmers market. Summer tomatoes, particularly in their rainbow form at my local farmers market, are my achilles heel. Last weekend, as always, I went particularly overboard on the tomato front. When I returned home, I had to ask myself:…

Given my penchant for halloumi, (exhibit A – this honey roasted carrot haloumi salad) this green haloumi salad was destined to happen. The salad combines the deliciousness of halloumi with the ease of a 10 minute throw together job that happens to be packed with FODMAP friendly vegetables. Initially I had no intention of writing…

When Liddell’s lactose free dairy asked me to develop some recipes, I knew a frittata needed to be involved. As far as I’m concerned, the frittata is Queen of the mid-week dinner, and I have but one frittata recipe; the green Thai frittata. With that in mind, may I introduce the honey balsamic roasted vegetable…

You may have noticed that last night I launched the bushfire relief recipe e-book. A soft launch, due in no small part to my lack of confidence in my own technological skills. So tonight, as I launch it properly, I wanted to give you a bit of sneak peek. My childhood was spent near bushland, meaning…

So, Barilla have asked me to create my ultimate gluten free vegetarian lasagne. Let me set the scene: it has a rosemary infused vegetarian bolognese. Roasted vegetables of your choice, and roasted red capsicums for sweetness. Next up is a layer of spinach and basil. Finally, the lasagne is rendered complete with a low lactose,…
