Many moons ago I published a recipe for a FODMAP friendly hummus made from zucchini. I still love that recipe, but I wanted to better emulate the filling, protein packed delight that is hummus.

Easy gluten-free funfetti cake
I have wanted to post an easy gluten-free funfetti cake recipe for a long time now. What has thwarted me, though, is how hard it is to develop a recipe that successfully suspends sprinkles in the batter. My first 124983 attempts lead me to the same place: a pale yellow cake up top, a dense…

Read MoreFODMAP Friendly vegetarian moussaka (vegan option)
I have wanted to make a FODMAP friendly vegetarian moussaka for about as long as I’ve been making tofu mince. Finding more ways to use that simple tofu ‘mince’ a la my bolognese and lasagne is my part time job, after all. So when Val Verde asked me to develop a recipe using their passata,…
