Ah ricotta. We have a mostly love but a little bit of hate relationship, don’t we? While my somewhat severe lactose intolerance seems to have mostly disappeared with age, my disagreement with an excess of especially milky foods remains. Which is why I have developed this super simple, speedy and cheaty lactose free ricotta recipe…
Read MoreVegan Caesar salad dressing (that’s also FODMAP friendly)
Last week I posted a recipe for a vegetarian Caesar salad with salt and pepper tofu ‘croutons.’ Given that the original recipe is easily made vegan, a vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe was the logical next step. So, here we are. This vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe uses pre-made vegan mayonnaise as it’s base. Because…
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.

When Liddell’s lactose free dairy asked me to develop some recipes, I knew a frittata needed to be involved.

With that in mind, may I introduce the honey balsamic roasted vegetable…

So tonight, as I launch it properly, I wanted to give you a bit of sneak peek. My childhood was spent near bushland, meaning…

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.
