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…

Herby 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…
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…
Read MoreQuinoa salad with spiced lemon butter and roasted pumpkin
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the lead up to Spring is probably my favourite time of the year. It’s still cold enough that I can (potentially) get away with wearing grey marle unscathed. The days are slowly getting longer. I’m slowly remembering what it’s like not having to photograph my dinner…
