Low Fodmap Tzatziki

Low Fodmap Tzatziki

I simply adore Greek food and this Low Fodmap Tzatziki is an absolute keeper. Being born in Italy and having spent all my childhood summer holidays in Sicily, Mediterranean food tastes like home to me. It’s simple, with few ingredients and straightforward flavours, just the way I like it. Pin It

CHEESE TWISTS AND PILLOWS

These are great both for parties and for appetizers.  I made these for Georgia’s birthday party but have also served them with a chilled glass of white wine before a more formal dinner.  At first I wanted to make only the basic cheese twists, but then decided to spice them up a bit and make…
