These salt and vinegar potatoes (smashed and roasted) started off as various iterations of the final dish. Firstly burnt butter and vinegar, vinegar, dill and basil, basil, dill and burnt butter. Sometimes, it seems, less actually is more, and 4-5 ingredients are all you need to make the crunchiest, most delicious ‘side dish’ that will…

Vegan, FODMAP friendly, cheesy hasselback potato bake
If you hadn’t noticed, this vegan hasselback bake is a riff on the vegan mac’n cheese that I posted recently. I decided to make said riff because some people, (myself included) have issues with grains. I’ve briefly discussed it before, but at the moment my digestive system is doing terribly with grains, regardless of whether…
Read MoreGluten free, vegan, low FODMAP mac n’ cheese
Whenever I’m feeling sorry for my FODMAP self, I think of the low FODMAP vegans. As a general rule, the vegan diet often incorporates a lot of of fruit and legumes – both heavily restricted on the FODMAP diet. If I couldn’t rely on eggs, cheese, and the odd bit of fish, I don’t know…
Read MoreGluten free spiced pumpkin pancakes

Pumpkin, banana, chocolate, plain – there are pancakes for every possible mood and occasion. These ones are gluten free and low FODMAP, all the while still delicious and a…
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…
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. 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…
