FODMAP friendly summer eating with Emma Hatcher

Rhubarb and polenta cake
Taken from The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen by Emma Hatcher. Part of our IBS Awareness Month series. This is a cake to win hearts. Great for a pudding, add some fresh lactose-free cream or a dollop of lactose- or dairy-free yoghurt – which lend themselves well to the slight tartness from the rhubarb. SERVES 8–10 GATHER 120g polenta 70g ground […]
Bacon and spinach quiche
Taken from The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen by Emma Hatcher Spinach and bacon is a classic quiche combination, but I’ve lightened this recipe up, eschewing the normal fillers of cream and cheese for extra eggs and a bit of milk, and changing the typical pastry crust to one made from crispy potatoes. This is still delicious cold for lunch for the […]

Roasted red pepper and Greek basil soup
Taken from The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen by Emma Hatcher This soup tastes like pizza, in a good way. Greek basil has small green, oval, pointed leaves, which pair deliciously well with tomatoes for all the flavour without the FODMAPs. You can use regular basil too, but Greek is more robust and holds up better in the oven […]
Glazed blood orange doughnuts
Taken from The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen by Emma Hatcher. Part of our IBS Awareness Month series. MAKES 6 LARGE OR 12 MINI DOUGHNUTS I’ve reworked this classic so that the words ‘doughnut’ and ‘low FODMAP’ can exist in the same sentence (imagine the hands up ‘ahh’ emoji inserted here). Baking them instead of frying makes them slightly healthier, and […]
