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…

Seasonal 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 MoreHerby vegan avocado pasta (FODMAP friendly and gluten free)
I haven’t always been super enthused by the concept of avocado pasta (isn’t that what pesto is for?) but I decided to give it a try after seeing so many glorious Instagram renditions of the dish. As much as I absolutely love a good pesto (and more importantly, Parmesan) it’s always handy to have a…
Read MorePreserved lemon roasted pumpkin, Greek Yoghurt and chilli
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.

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…
Read MoreGrain free zucchini, ricotta and herb tart
There are some things that seem meant for 2020, and this grain free zucchini tart is one of those things. It’s fiddly and involved, but it’s also a form of kitchen meditation. Carefully folding thinly sliced zucchini around one another is a time consuming but worthy endeavour. In addition to being grain free, this tart is…
Read MoreGluten free roasted grape, sage and cheese tart with hazelnut crust
New year, new me, new gluten free tart, new website. This (website, not so much tart) has been a long time coming, considering I’m often referred to, particularly by tenacious young PR assistants, as a full time ‘blogger.’ Being as tech illiterate and impatient as I am, I have been putting off having my own…
