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.
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.
This is a delicious summer salad that is low FODMAP and gluten free. If you wanted, you could remove the goats cheese to make it vegan, or alternativly add some grilled chicken to boost the protein content if you like!
Using healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil and nuts, using a proportion of whole meal flour, using berries and keeping the sugar lower (or even replacing with date sugar) makes this cake a bit healthier than standard recipes. If you use only date sugar, add a bit more yogurt as date sugar absorbs liquid.

A simple, vibrant spring salad that's ready in only 10 minutes - perfect for a side salad or light lunch.
Note: this salad is unfortunately not FODMAP friendly.
This is one of those quietly brilliant healthy recipes that earns a permanent place in the winter rotation. Field Doctor chef Matt Williamson calls it a home recipe he makes a lot in winter, and it is easy to see why. Bite sized salmon is seasoned with herbs, lemon zest and olive oil, then wrapped in ribbons of courgette or marrow and roasted until just cooked and lightly golden. The fish stays tender, the veg turns soft and sweet, and the lemon keeps everything fresh and lifted. It looks impressive but it is genuinely straightforward, and it hits that sweet spot when you want a lighter meal that still feels warm, satisfying and properly dinner. Serve with roast or boiled potatoes and a spoon of sour cream or crème fraîche if you fancy.
This roasted carrot soup is one of those simple recipes that quietly overdelivers. Field Doctor chef Matt Williamson roasts the carrots first to bring out their natural sweetness and depth, then blends them into a smooth, gently spiced soup. Finished with crisp quinoa, seeds and fresh herbs, it is inexpensive, genuinely warming and has just enough texture to feel like a complete meal rather than a starter. This healthy soup recipe is perfect for winter days when you want something comforting without heaviness.
