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

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,…

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…

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…

This recipe initially started as a winter caprese salad, so excuse me if you find any references to such a thing. I’m trying to do as little work as possible and not delete this huge chunk of text I’ve written, you see. I’m very busy, I have a bowl of pasta to eat. Topped with,…

You might have noticed my cacio pepe bender is still going strong. You might have been distracted, however, by just how green this green pasta is. This pasta is somewhat of a hybrid between cacio pepe and pesto pasta. As the pasta is cooked, the greens, lemon juice and pasta water are blended to create…

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…
