How many ways can you present roasted pumpkin on a food blog? The limit does not exist, as it turns out. Today, we’re talking cinnamon chilli roasted pumpkin, and we’re serving it with FODMAP friendly hummus, honey lemon butter dressing, mint and toasted pine nuts. Phew. I’m making an effort to be a lot more…

Moroccan spiced pumpkin soup with honey toasted pepitas, preserved lemon mint sauce and halloumi dippers
Winter feels like it’s here in Melbourne, and I personally couldn’t be happier. Not only is it the season of me wearing pyjama tops disguised under fancy coats, it is the season of soup. And why not kick of the season of soup with a Moroccan spiced pumpkin soup? Written, conveniently, whist in pyjamas? I…
Read MoreDouble chocolate vegan cookies (gluten free, grain free, vegan)
We’ve done vegan choc chip cookies and we’ve done vegan snickers cookies. Today we’re doing double chocolate vegan cookies. Some might call it ‘desperately clinging on to a good thing’ but I’m branding it as a ‘helpful resource.’ Either way the PR slant goes, this double chocolate vegan cookies are THE GOODS. Like their predecessors,…
Read MoreFODMAP friendly avocado hummus with vegetable and halloumi crudite
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…
Read MoreSweet and sticky ginger buckwheat noodles (vegan, gluten free, FODMAP friendly)
Can we quickly address the fact that the word sticky suddenly becomes desirable when discussing (buckwheat) noodles? Great, thanks. I needed that. Because of my sensitivity to grains, I have not provided you with many noodle recipes. Now that I’ve (re)discovered 100% buckwheat noodles, however, that’s all about to change. I recently bought some 100% buckwheat ramen…
Read MoreFODMAP friendly lasagne (that’s vegan and gluten free)
We’ve done FODMAP friendly vegan bolognese. We’ve done FODMAP friendly vegan mac and cheese. It’s about time we put them together, and made a FODMAP friendly lasagne that is also vegan and gluten free. ABOUT DAMN TIME. As a single person who cooks for a living, I generally don’t ponder too much about what constitutes…
Read MoreVegan strawberry galettes with orange blossom and lemon syrup
I’ve already done a vegan Caprese galette, so I figured it would be rude not follow up with a sweet variety. Given that it’s summer here in Australia, a vegan strawberry galette was the natural choice. Vegan pastry is surprisingly easy to make. Because pastry generally doesn’t contain eggs, all that needs substituting is the…
Read MoreCrispy oven baked tofu (gluten free, vegan, FODMAP friendly)
Let’s chat crispy oven baked tofu. Although somewhat more difficult to achieve than the crispy shallow variety, crispy oven baked tofu is entirely achievable. 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…
