Cachi and Molinos Guide - Argentina

Cachi and Molinos Guide – Argentina

During our trip to Chile and Argentina, we travelled from Salta to Molinos, via the small colonial town of Cachi, on our way to Cafayate. We stayed one night in the tiny village of Molinos, where you feel like you have stepped back in time.

Low Fodmap Tuna Fried Rice

Low Fodmap Tuna Fried Rice

I am so happy to share today’s recipe. This Low Fodmap Tuna Fried Rice is on my menu at least once a week. That’s how good it is! I simply love it and it makes for the perfect meatless meal (yet, it’s still packed with proteins and vitamins).

Bowl of perfectly cooked long grain rice served.

How to Cook Long Grain Rice

Light, fluffy, and evenly cooked, this stovetop method shows How to Cook Long Grain Rice perfectly every time using simple ingredients and the traditional absorption technique for soft, separate grains.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

I love fudge, but since going lactose-free, it has been a bit difficult to find a good recipe for it. The one I used to make all the time is amazing, but it’s made with condensed milk, which has become a no-no for me.

Quebrada de Humahuaca Guide – Argentina

During our trip to Chile and Argentina, we stayed 2 nights in the village of Purmamarca, at the entrance of the Quebrada de Humahuaca (quebrada means “canyon” in Spanish), in Argentina’s North West.

Kumquat jam in a jar with toast and fresh kumquats arranged on a wooden board.

Kumquat Jam

Bright, golden, and delicately tangy, Kumquat Jam brings rich citrus flavour with smooth, even sweetness. Soft chunks of candied fruit add texture and make every breakfast taste fresh and inviting.

White Sandwich Bread

White Sandwich Bread

I absolutely adore homemade bread and I try and bake some as often as I can. My go-to bread recipe is this easy to make Ciabatta, as I love bread with a crunchy top. However, I also like homemade sandwich bread. I find it much easier to digest than store-bought ones.

Low Fodmap Calamari Risotto

Low Fodmap Calamari Risotto

I am so happy about sharing the recipe for this Low Fodmap Calamari Risotto with you! As you may know, I was born in Milan which is the place where risotto was first invented.

Salta Guide

Salta Guide – Argentina

During our trip to Chile and Argentina, we stayed 3 separate nights in the city if Salta, in Argentina’s North West. We didn’t stay for 3 consecutive days but used Salta as a “stop-over” in between other destinations during our road trip in the region.

Bowl of purple Malbec ice cream beside a glass of wine on a wooden board.

Malbec Ice Cream

Cool and creamy Malbec Ice Cream brings the freshness of summer to the table. A smooth, refreshing finish made for outdoor gatherings and warm days.

Orange, Blueberry, Passion Fruit Smoothie

Orange, Blueberry, Passion Fruit Smoothie

I love a good smoothie, especially for breakfast or as a mid-morning snack. I find that having a glass of sweet fruity smoothie keeps me full till lunch time. The fact that that glass of goodness is also packed with vitamins is definitely a plus.

Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf

Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf

I love to have something sweet with my afternoon tea. I discovered this Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf a couple of months ago, and I liked it so much, that I made it many times ever since.

Iguazu Falls Guide – Argentina and Brazil

During our recent trip to South America, we also visited Iguazu Falls. This was one of the must-do’s from our bucket list, so I am very happy we could add it to the trip!

Golden scallops topped with fresh parsley and garlic butter inside a skillet.

Garlic Scallops

Buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden, Garlic Scallops take only 15 minutes. A quick sear gives crisp edges and tender flesh, ideal for a light and satisfying meal. After sharing my Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil, I couldn’t resist making another scallop recipe. A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise delivery from Ferguson…

Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil

Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil

Yep. You read that right! Scallops AND Lobster Oil! Intriguing, isn’t it? To tell you the truth, the Lobster Oil was a very pleasant discovery, as I was not familiar with it.

Santiago de Chile Guide – Chile

During our recent trip to Chile and Argentina, we stopped for 3 days in Santiago. Coming from Australia, Santiago is the main hub into South America, so we will likely be back. Like us, many people visit Santiago on their way to other destinations in the area. Some people do not even stop! However, I…

Pisco Sour

Pisco Sour

When we were in Santiago de Chile, we had some delicious Pisco Sour. A Pisco Sour is an alcoholic cocktail of Peruvian origin that is typical of both Chile and Peru. It is considered somewhat of a South American classic.

Maple Peanut Butter Popcorn

Maple Peanut Butter Popcorn

I love popcorn and I often make for the family when we stay home to watch a movie on the weekend. Popcorn makes a great snack, even for people with digestive problems.

Low Fodmap Orange Cakes

Low Fodmap Orange Cakes

When it’s tea time, I often feel the need for a quick snack, better if of the sweet kind. Following the Low Fodmap diet can make things hard, especially since I am having trouble with fructose.

Overhead shot of cooked eggplant rice in a cast iron pan with basil.

Eggplant Rice

Soft eggplant melts into tomato-soaked rice for a warm, reliable bowl of Eggplant Rice that fits busy weeknights and keeps well for easy leftovers.

Low Fodmap Buckwheat Peanut Butter Cookies

Low Fodmap Buckwheat Peanut Butter Cookies

I looooove cookies and the crunchier the better. I have to say that cookies in Italy are usually always crunchy. The Italian name for cookies is biscotti after all, and that means “cooked twice”.

Low Fodmap Salmon Cakes

Low Fodmap Salmon Cakes

I must admit that I am not a huge seafood lover. However, I eat fish at least twice a week. So, I am always looking for different ways to serve it to the family, just to keep things interesting.

Low Fodmap Macadamia Brownies

Low Fodmap Macadamia Brownies

There are times when only a chocolate brownie can satisfy your craving for sweets. As I am much more careful about what I eat since starting the low FODMAP diet, I am not having as many sweets as I used to.

Fakarava

Fakarava

Today I am back with the last post on our recent Tahitian holiday and I am going to take you all the magnificent island of Fakarava, in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Kiwi Ginger Smoothie

Kiwi Ginger Smoothie

Who doesn’t love a refreshing smoothie? I know I do and so do my children. This Kiwi Ginger Smoothie is both dairy-free and low FODMAP, so besides being yummy and healthy, it is also gentle on the tummy.

Traditional Italian orange polenta cake with orange slice and cinnamon on top.

Orange Polenta Cake

A soft, fragrant Orange Polenta Cake made with oranges, almond meal, and a hint of Grand Marnier. Moist, naturally gluten-free, and ideal for afternoon tea or a light celebration dessert.

Salted Caramel Pepitas

Salted Caramel Pepitas

Since starting the Low FODMAP diet, I am always looking for healthy snack ideas and these Salted Caramel Pepitas fit the bill perfectly.
