Sharing gluten free, pescetarian and FODMAP friendly recipes from Melbourne, Australia
Confession: I sometimes forget that not everybody has all day to cook their dinner when I develop recipes. My frozen tofu bolognese trick, as delicious as it is, does require a little foresight. The vegan ‘ricotta’ herb and zucchini tart is probably not something to whip up after the gym. FODMAP friendly pesto pasta, however, is…

When I was young, I was elated at the prospect of being in charge of my own meals. I used to be aghast when Mum had the audacity to feed me the same meal TWICE IN A ROW. Now, as a (supposedly) fully fledged adult, I have realised that adult dinners are often dip platters…

It takes a little draining time (as the fried variety does) but makes up for that with it’s relative ease and general deliciousness. Before we begin, it should be noted that…

If you have any experience with digestive illness, you might be familiar with the euphoric moment when you eat out and don’t feel terrible. For me, the clearest memory of that euphoria was after eating a vegan Vietnamese coleslaw at a local Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne. While going out for dinner is generally viewed as…

In my pre-vegetarian, pre-FODMAP days, I was particularly partial to a good mince bolognese. So much so that I was always willing to be the person to painstakingly crush the mince into little pieces. I couldn’t allow someone else to cook/ruin my beloved mince, the only form of meat I would eat. These days, however,…
