So, for those people following the low FODMAP UK method kidney beans are now allowed and I would advise you to use tinned and rinse them well prior to using them. Beans are an excellent source of iron and fibre for vegans. Plus I was very surprised at how well these pancakes turned out with
We are nearly in Veganuary and what could me more perfect than a vegan nut roast? Some people miss meaty flavours when they venture into meat free eating and this roast is stuffed full of umami flavours meaning you won’t miss meat flavour at all! The dish also contains low FODMAP fibre and this is
Ok, so why do we need a marzipan based on pecans? Well, marzipan is based on almonds and these are limited on the low fodmap diet, it also contains honey – it would be very difficult to know how much FODMAP sugars are ingested with most Christmas marzipan containing dishes – so I thought I

This is the reason I decided to develop a nut based pie instead and chestnut was just
Watercress soup is sublime and tradition in our household means that we have it as a starter every Christmas. I have considered the fact that we can’t use onion – the complete taste profile onion gives to the dish – including the slight amount of sweetness it provides and I have replaced the onion with
The low FODMAP diet is a process used to find what foods are causing IBS symptoms. The process starts with a diet which is low in FODMAPs (fermentable carbohydrates). It is then followed by a structured reintroduction period to pin-point and diagnose food intolerances. In this article, I will be discussing the top 10 mistakes
Broccoli is a newer addition to the low fodmap family – although particular attention needs to be made concerning which parts are low fodmap.
