The other week I posted a very simple recipe for lactose free ricotta. Ricotta isn’t something that generally makes it onto a FODMAP friendly menu, and I wanted to change that. I have very fond memories of the ricotta laden pasta that got me through my University days, and I wasn’t about to let that…

Dukkah roasted carrots with labne and aleppo chilli oil
I’ve been enjoying playing around with lactose free versions of soft cheeses recently. First there was the mascarpone (as seen in both my Tiramisu and Summer tomato pasta recipes.) Next, there was a cheat’s ricotta (something that features in a number of upcoming recipes.) Finally, today, there’s this labne. These dukkah roasted carrots with labne,…
Read MoreVegetarian Caesar salad with salt and pepper tofu ‘croutons’ (FODMAP friendly, gluten free)
I’ve never truly understood the fuss about caesar salad. That is, until I started making it about a week ago. Ooof! That unctuous, tangy dressing? Those salty crunchy bits? Caesar salad is salad heaven! Naturally, due to my FODMAP constraints and vegetarian, I had to play around a little. So here we are with this…
Read MoreSummer tomato, lemon and mascarpone pasta (lactose free, FODMAP friendly, gluten free)
I have a well documented penchant for buying a frivolous amount of pretty tomatoes at the farmers market. Summer tomatoes, particularly in their rainbow form at my local farmers market, are my achilles heel. Last weekend, as always, I went particularly overboard on the tomato front. When I returned home, I had to ask myself:…
Read MoreGreen haloumi salad with toasted almonds and dairy free pesto
Given my penchant for halloumi, (exhibit A – this honey roasted carrot haloumi salad) this green haloumi salad was destined to happen. The salad combines the deliciousness of halloumi with the ease of a 10 minute throw together job that happens to be packed with FODMAP friendly vegetables. Initially I had no intention of writing…
Read MoreHoney balsamic roasted vegetable frittata with lactose-free cheese and pesto (FODMAP friendly)
When Liddell’s lactose free dairy asked me to develop some recipes, I knew a frittata needed to be involved. As far as I’m concerned, the frittata is Queen of the mid-week dinner, and I have but one frittata recipe; the green Thai frittata. With that in mind, may I introduce the honey balsamic roasted vegetable…
Read MoreBushfire relief recipe e-book
You may have noticed that last night I launched the bushfire relief recipe e-book. A soft launch, due in no small part to my lack of confidence in my own technological skills. So tonight, as I launch it properly, I wanted to give you a bit of sneak peek. My childhood was spent near bushland, meaning…
Read MoreMy ultimate gluten free vegetarian lasagne (FODMAP friendly)
So, Barilla have asked me to create my ultimate gluten free vegetarian lasagne. Let me set the scene: it has a rosemary infused vegetarian bolognese. Roasted vegetables of your choice, and roasted red capsicums for sweetness. Next up is a layer of spinach and basil. Finally, the lasagne is rendered complete with a low lactose,…
