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,…

I have wanted to make a FODMAP friendly vegetarian moussaka for about as long as I’ve been making tofu mince. Finding more ways to use that simple tofu ‘mince’ a la my bolognese and lasagne is my part time job, after all. So when Val Verde asked me to develop a recipe using their passata,…

Given how much I enjoy them, I don’t develop nearly enough dip recipes. With crudites, on roast vegetables, inhaled from the container; there’s not much dip cannot do. This FODMAP-friendly spring onion dip is no exception. In fact, it might just be my favourite homemade dip to date. Whip it up the night before to…

I’ve never spent much time trying to develop a FODMAP friendly vegetable stir-fry. All of my attempts have generally come out rather bland and soggy. Initially I was quick to blame the lack of ferocious heat from my gas stove, but it was more than that. The sauce was always dull, overly salty and generally…

I often talk about ‘not playing recipe favourites’ and then proceed to do the opposite in these introductions. This is generally because I have nothing original to say and I’m writing the post on a time crunch. That said, I would never lie about my favourites and this post is no exception. Because today, we’re…

This three ingredient mini cheesecake came about by accident. I was attempting to make cream cheese danishes when I realised that I had an excessive amount of cream cheese filling. Not keen to waste some perfectly good cream cheese, I threw it in the oven, Basque cheesecake style. The result? An adorable, delicious cheesecake for…

I am so excited to share this recipe for gluten-free hot cross buns with you! A good gluten free HCB has vexed me for as long as I’ve been working with alternative flours and spending too much time on the ‘gram. Although I shared a sourdough hot cross bun last year, I had to pack…

Not only have been working on a FODMAP friendly pizza sauce, but also on these gluten-free sourdough pizza bases. This is simpler adaptation of a recipe I have finished and am already very happy with (saving it…

I got a lot of requests for recipe when I posted some crispy smashed potatoes on Instagram stories last week. And by a lot, I mean like 2. I just wanted an excuse to keep making and consuming potatoes, and here we are! You all know I like my crispy potatoes – these salt and vinny…
