Gluten free gnocchi is a hard thing to master. Even harder? Gluten free AND vegan gnocchi. Yet here we are, friends, here we are. In all honesty, the vegan aspect of this gluten free gnocchi was an accident. In discovering my new favourite magic ingredient, I discovered a way to make super simple gluten free…

Vegan labne with roasted capsicums and Aleppo chilli oil (FODMAP friendly)
I have officially become a labne fiend after last week’s foray into labne making. Who knew that the elegant, delicious delicacy they sell for $100 at the shops is a cinch to make? For the cost of a tub of yoghurt, no less? I, for one, did not. Now that I do, however, I’m on…
Read MoreCrispy Kipfler potatoes
After my vegan Caesar salad dressing photo last week, I was inundated with requests for a recipe. A recipe for those crispy Kipfler potatoes. This got me thinking: while I have shared my tips for crispy chips, my method for crispy potatoes in general remains undiscussed. Friends, I will take any excuse to chat about potatoes.…
Read MoreLactose free lemon ricotta with summer tomatoes and basil
The other week I posted a very simple recipe for lactose free ricotta. Ricotta isn’t something that generally makes it onto a FODMAP friendly menu, and I wanted to change that. I have very fond memories of the ricotta laden pasta that got me through my University days, and I wasn’t about to let that…
Read MoreDukkah roasted carrots with labne and aleppo chilli oil
I’ve been enjoying playing around with lactose free versions of soft cheeses recently. First there was the mascarpone (as seen in both my Tiramisu and Summer tomato pasta recipes.) Next, there was a cheat’s ricotta (something that features in a number of upcoming recipes.) Finally, today, there’s this labne. These dukkah roasted carrots with labne,…
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 MoreSummer tomato, lemon and mascarpone pasta (lactose free, FODMAP friendly, gluten free)
I have a well documented penchant for buying a frivolous amount of pretty tomatoes at the farmers market. Summer tomatoes, particularly in their rainbow form at my local farmers market, are my achilles heel. Last weekend, as always, I went particularly overboard on the tomato front. When I returned home, I had to ask myself:…
Read MoreGreen haloumi salad with toasted almonds and dairy free pesto
Given my penchant for halloumi, (exhibit A – this honey roasted carrot haloumi salad) this green haloumi salad was destined to happen. The salad combines the deliciousness of halloumi with the ease of a 10 minute throw together job that happens to be packed with FODMAP friendly vegetables. Initially I had no intention of writing…
