Whipped Feta Dip with Zaatar Roasted Courgettes
By Emma Hatcher

Whipped feta dips have taken the internet by storm for good reason - and you don’t have to miss out if you’re following the low FODMAP diet! When tested, feta only showed trace amounts of FODMAPs making it the perfect base for a creamy, scoopable summer dip recipe (come rain or shine!) If you are able to tolerate lactose well you can sub in regular cream cheese and yogurt here and don’t be put off by the honey - the amount listed is well within recommended limits and adds just a hint of sweetness to the tangy feta.

Sticky Ginger Bundt Cake
By Emma Hatcher

Inspired by Parkin, a syrupy ginger cake traditionally had on Bonfire night in the North of England, this bundt cake is a no less delicious gluten-free and lower FODMAP alternative. Instead of higher FODMAP golden syrup and treacle, I’ve used the sweet syrup from a stem ginger jar to get that unctuous texture, along with ground walnuts, dark brown sugar and olive oil.

To ensure maximum ginger flavour there are four! types of ginger - stem, ground, fresh and crystallised - while cinnamon and garam masala give the cake warmth and a little extra spice.

I love serving this cake topped with a spoonful of yogurt or crème fraiche.

Sweet Potato and Chocolate Loaf Cake
By Matt Williamson

This is a very speedy cake to throw together once the sweet potato is cooked, and it’s low FODMAP friendly, and dairy and gluten free. It can be vegan and egg-fee too if you use an egg substitute such as a flax egg or commercial egg alternative.

You can serve it by itself, or with a spoonful of yogurt or low FODMAP friendly yogurt substitute.

I hope you like it!

Gluten Free Hot Cross Bun Cheesecake
By Emma Hatcher

All the flavours of a hot cross bun, in rich, buttery no-bake cheesecake form. This recipe turned out even better than I could have imagined and I especially love how the tart orange marmalade peeks through the creamy vanilla filling, enticing you to find out what’s below.

In baking, lactose free cream and cream cheese don’t always work in the same way as their regular counterparts. Rather than fighting that fact, I’ve used regular double cream in this cheesecake recipe, within the low FODMAP limit, which is what allows the cheesecake to set without the need for gelatine or something similar. Chilling overnight is really important too and if the filling ever feels like it could do with some extra setting power, a quick freezer stint always works.

Raspberry, Almond & Chocolate Torte
By Matt Williamson

This chocolate torte is Low FODMAP friendly and naturally gluten free, but doesn't compriise on taste! The berries and almonds bring an extra depth of flavour, ensuing this will be a crowd pleaser recipe.

If you like this recipe, you can double to make two batches as it freezes really well.

Brown Rice, Almond and Cocoa Cookies
By Matt Williamson

Field Doctor chef Matt Williamson has created a delicious new cookie recipe that is both gluten-free and low FODMAP. Ground almonds and brown rice flour form the foundation, providing a delightful blend of health-conscious ingredients.

Brown rice flour contains good amounts of vitamin B6, phosphorous, selenium, and magnesium, not to mention a healthy dose of antioxidants that can protect cells against oxidative damage.

Almonds provide fibre and protein, as well as micronutrients such as iron and vitamin E.

Enjoy!
