I’ve made gingerbread enough times to know that it normally ends in a mess of sticky flour on the bench and a sworn oath not to bother next year. For whatever reason, gluten free gingerbread is truly an absolute faff – more so than practically any other baked good. This year however, I decided to…

Vegetarian mince stuffed capsicums (FODMAP friendly)
Provided you’re not new around these parts, you’ll be well accustomed to me claiming that this vegan mince has changed my life. Truly, I am obsessed. And truly, I will put it with absolutely everything and anything. Prior to going vegetarian, mince meat (for tacos) was the only meat I tolerated. It makes sense then…
Read MoreCrispy smashed potatoes in a rocket and almond ‘pesto’ (vegan, FODMAP friendly)
Crispy smashed potatoes. In my eyes, there is probably no more beautiful sentence in the English language. Top them with pesto? Even better. Belinda Carlisle was correct, heaven is a place on earth. Over the years, I’ve learnt a couple of tricks to achieving a super crispy potato. Namely, choosing the right variety. There are…
Read MoreVegan, gluten free banana bread (FODMAP friendly, refined sugar free)
We all know the universal symbol of banana bread: a freezer entirely overrun with darkened, overripe bananas. I counted at least 9 in my freezer the other day, so I decided it was well and truly time to bake, and to bake vegan, gluten free banana bread. I’ve previously shared a recipe for a brown…
Read MoreChewy peanut butter bars with a chocolate coating (vegan, gluten free, FODMAP friendly, refined sugar free)

So why not fuel my own addiction, I figured, by making chewy peanut butter bars slathered in dark chocolate? Kind of like a nougat-less Snickers (because I watched Gourmet…
Read MoreBest ever vegan potato salad with radicchio, olives, fresh herbs and a zingy mayo dressing
I’ve done the best ever thing a lot recently. However, A) I always mean it and B) this is the best ever vegan potato salad, in my biased opinion. Unlike a regular potato salad, this version involves flavouring the potatoes while they cook, and again with the punchy, vibrant vegan mayonnaise dressing. The best ever…
Read MoreVegan chocolate chip cookies that are gluten free and FODMAP friendly (using vegan butter)
After realising that my favourite version of the recent brownie was in fact the vegan variety, I have had a vegan baking epiphany. There’s something so triumphant about creating cookies that seemingly shouldn’t be able to exist. AKA: vegan chocolate chip cookies, that are also gluten free, nut free and FODMAP friendly. No egg substitutes,…
Read MoreVegan, FODMAP friendly ‘meatballs’
Did I not say I was going to ride this vegan tofu train until the end of time? Last week I made a vegetarian polpette bake. The polpette bake took inspiration from the vegan bolognese recipe, which spawned the vegan lasagne. Although the vegetarian polpette are a delight, I realised they had not followed suite on…
