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…

Vegan Caesar salad dressing (that’s also FODMAP friendly)
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…
Read MoreVegetarian Caesar salad with salt and pepper tofu ‘croutons’ (FODMAP friendly, gluten free)
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…
Read MoreHoney balsamic roasted vegetable frittata with lactose-free cheese and pesto (FODMAP friendly)
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…
Read MoreVegan salted ‘nutella’ truffles (gluten free, FODMAP friendly)
Vegan salted ‘nutella’ truffles. Yes. What started as cream-laden, mezcal and smoked salt truffles has quickly morphed. Morphed into a truffle that’s definitely better than my original. Obviously I plan to share the original variety too, but my zest for this version is unrivalled. I’ve dropped about 4 deadlines in order to press publish on…
Read MoreFODMAP friendly Christmas recipes
I’ve done a roundup for FODMAP friendly Christmas recipes before. Personally, I think I have developed enough festive recipes to warrant an entirely new post, so here we are friends, here we are. A FODMAP friendly, vegetarian Christmas is not a particularly easy feat. Given that the prized dishes are basically either meat, garlic, dried…
Read MoreLemon roasted potatoes (vegan, FODMAP friendly)
Best ever gets thrown around a lot. I know. I myself have thrown it around a few times (I stand by the claim for these brownies and I always will.) Please know that when I say best ever, I mean it. And I really mean it today with these best ever lemon roasted potatoes. The…
Read MoreBlood orange, burrata, and pine-nut salad with Christmas spiced dressing
This blood orange, burrata and pine-nut salad is basically a two for one. Two for one with my previous recipe, spiced roasted pumpkin with radicchio, pine nuts, fetta and Christmas dressing. Toast a couple of extra pine nuts, make double the dressing and boom! You have two salads with about 10 minutes extra work. A Christmas…
