Compared to the bready banana bread recipe elsewhere on Growing Up and Liking It, this is a a light, cake-like and extremely moorish version. As you can tell by the featured image, even though this banana bread is certainly satisfying by itself, I couldn’t help but top it with cream cheese and a hazelnut-chocolate spread…

Granola
I’ve got to be honest with you: Breakfast is not my favourite meal of the day. Although I’m sufficiently hungry – especially now that I’m nursing at night, I don’t have an appetite for anything. I much prefer lunch. With a hungry baby relying on his food coming from me, there’s no way I can…
Maple almond ice cream
We would have walked down the aisle yesterday if it wasn’t for a squishy little someone making an appearance. So instead of nursing a hangover from the wild bohemian wedding party we would have thrown, the Northerner is having a lie-in on his very first Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day, daddies, it’s going to be…
Rumkugeln
As my diet has become more and more restrictive, I had to sit myself down and talk shop: what do I enjoy eating (rather than what can I have) and what does it need to make them Low FODMAP? Right at the top of the list: Rumkugeln. A bakery in my mother’s hometown, Schneverdingen, made the…
Green smoothie with chia
If you are a breakfast lover or loather, if you like to take your time in the morning to enjoy an elaborate meal or rush out of the door, a smoothie is a great way to get your daily vitamin boost – even on the go. I’m pretty frugal, so for me, a smoothie is…
Cheesecake
I had just given birth and my body was awash with adrenaline. I didn’t sleep… Why waste time sleeping when I could lovingly gaze at this little bundle of flesh and bones instead?! My mind and hormones were all over the place, so it didn’t come as a surprise to me that my mind…
Bready banana bread
Banana breads are a great way to use up brown bananas left over in your fruit bowl. Frugal much?! Some recipes get you a rather cake-like banana bread that goes well with a cup of coffee as a sweet treat in the afternoon. Nothing wrong about that. But not this guy. This guy is the…
Mayonnaise (low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free)
I’m really picky when it comes to mayonnaise. Sure, that’s a pretty unusual thing to say, but I am. In fact, eventually, I’d rather not have any shop-bought mayonnaise if it wasn’t for Tesco’s organic brand. But why buy mayonnaise, if it’s so bleeding easy to make your own?! Ingredients 1 large organic egg 1-2…
Pancakes
Happy Pancake Day, one and all. While the normal eating world is digging into piles of pancakes, the Low FODMAPers don’t need to feel left out. Ingredients 90 g rice flour 35g cornflour 75g brown sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 30g butter (if tolerated), melted 185ml almond milk Instructions Whisk eggs and…
Low FODMAP Chinese-style Pork
Happy Chinese New Year! London is submerged in the celebrations of the Year of the Monkey and Chinatown is overflowing with foodies. During my first month in the UK, the campus was deserted. All British and European students spent the summer at home, so only PhD students and international students. And then there was me….
