Thai ingredients work really well with the low FODMAP diet and this curry is full of flavour. A lot of the commonly used foods have been tested and suitable on the diet such as galangal, lemongrass, fish sauce, coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves, they are all strong flavours too so you don’t really notice…
This is a great recipe for summer, and can be cooked on the barbecue or grilled. The flavours are Thai inspired which works really well for low FODMAP cooking as most of the common ingredients are suitable. Lemongrass was included in the updated Monash University Low FODMAP Booklet which is good news as it’s essential…
I’ve created a delicious, fragrant, warming, low FODMAP version of the Malaysian-style laksa noodle soup. The recipe includes some recently tested ingredients that were found to be low FODMAP including tamarind paste (when limited to 1/2 tablespoon per portion) and lemongrass which are listed in the latest Monash University FODMAP booklet. There are so many…
This low FODMAP recipe proves that you can still pack lots of flavour into a stew without using onions or stock. A dark ale or stout works best, for example Newcastle Brown Ale or Guinness. The main difference between a light beer and a dark beer such as an ale or porter is the type…
As part of the KCL low FODMAP training for dietitians we were asked to follow the diet ourselves for one week. I remember thinking at the time that it was going to be a nightmare cooking for the family and making dinners that would be acceptable to everyone (I never make separate meals and I…
There was an article in The Times last weekend about the ultimate shepherd’s pie. It’s that time of year for comfort food. The recipes contained the usual high FODMAP ingredients you would expect – onion, lots of garlic and of course stock. But they also included low FODMAP flavourings such as mustard, herbs, red wine…
Curries are always popular in my house so this blog contains a disproportionally large amount of curry recipes. I’ve adapted this one from a recipe called Sri Lankan Lamb Curry in “The Art of Eating Well” by Hemsley and Hemsley. As well as Lamb it contains extra veg -carrots, courgette and peppers so it feels…
One thing a lot of patients find difficult on the low FODMAP diet is the lack of a suitable ready-made stock. I really can’t be bothered making home-made beef stock, it takes too long so I think it’s best to use alternatives to stock instead. In this dish it’s wine. Almost all of the alcohol…
This is such a simple low FODMAP week night dish, easy to do after work and always popular with the kids. It’s great because you just heat the oven, put all the ingredients onto one large tray and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes, giving it a shake half way through and…
Spaghetti bolognese is a popular dish with so many of my patients so I though it would be really useful to include a low FODMAP version in my recipe collection. I think it’s a shame when people think that they have to cook separate meals from the rest of the family when following a special…
