Flourless chocolate cake has been on heavy rotation ever since I went gluten free 5 years ago. Not only is it densely, richly chocolate-y in flavour, but it’s flourless nature means that it is a foolproof addition to any dinner or birthday (unless your friends are allergic to nuts and gluten, then we’re back to…

Cashew pulp banana bread (plus an easy formula for nut milk)
I’ve always assumed that the people who make their own nut milk are the sort of people who have their lives together. They get up early for yoga and come home to a pre-prepared chia pudding, they own a steam press iron, they fold their underwear. Having the time to make something as basic as…
Read MoreSeasonal apple, parsnip, hazelnut and goat’s cheese tart
The older I get, the more I realise that the aspect of a globalised world I previously enjoyed (that is, being able to purchase figs and raspberries in the dead of winter) is not really all that worthy of celebration, particularly when it’s mainly for a ‘gram shot. Not only are there the carbon miles…
Read MoreBalsamic brown sugar roasted strawberry caprese salad
Instagram is a purveyor of many things: The skinny tea model, the destination you’d never heard of but must immediately travel to, the rainbow salad and/or smoothie bowl with a hundred different superfood powders and star shaped fruit cuts. On a more subtle level, but equally as able to induce jealousy, I’d say, is the…

Preserved lemon: is there anything it can’t do? Since becoming increasingly intolerant to everything under the sun, I’ve had to try and get a bit more creative with how I flavour things. Garlic and onion, the pinnacles of flavour, remain out of the question. So today I figured I’d detail my heavy reliance on preserved…
Read MoreChocolate zucchini sheet cake with chocolate avocado icing
Yes, a chocolate zucchini sheet cake. What is a zucchini doing in a chocolate cake, you might be asking? I’m glad you are, because I am about to tell you. The humble zucchini is somewhat of a FODMAP friendly superfood – it is filling, mostly liquid, rather bland (no offence, zucchini, I’m bland too) and…
Read MoreGluten free broccoli and parmesan pizza bases
I used to eye roll at people who claimed that such and such a food was an integral part of their weekly routine. As someone who used to be thoroughly shook if Mum told me we were having the same thing for dinner two nights in a row, I couldn’t fathom how people could be…
