Breakfast is my least favourite meal, mainly just because I find the options that are egg, dairy & gluten free to be boring, and there is a lack of choices. I read that Black Salt, which strangely is pink, is the secret ingredient in making great scrambled tofu. I found some at Herbies (they have […]

Balmain Bugs with Chilli & Tomato Pasta
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I started this blog so that I wouldn’t forget recipes that we enjoyed. I have a terrible memory and tend to make recipes up as I go so it’s difficult to remember a dish. My husband regularly say “write this down, exactly what you did”. I’d write it down and then lose where I wrote […]
Chicken & Chorizo Casserole
posted by thesensitivefoodie
This casserole may not look like much, but boy does it taste good. I was a little curious about the mix of ingredients, they didn’t struck me as going together, mainly because of the curry leaves, but it works. I saw a recipe online and made a mental note of the main ingredients, but then […]
Spicy Chickpea, Chorizo, Tomato, Spinach & Goats Feta Brunch Bake
posted by thesensitivefoodie
This is a breakfast of champions! Chickpeas, chorizo meatballs, spinach, tomatoes & goats feta all baked together. It packs a serious flavour and spice punch! It was one of those “make it up as you go” meals that really worked. In fact it worked so well that I think my husband would hate me if […]
Spinach, Broccoli, Kale & Black Rice Egg Free Frittata
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I had a heap of veggies left over from my produce bag and figured I’d give an egg-free frittata a go. I love the tufo quiche I make, so figured I’d do something similar. I seen a frittata recently that had wild rice in it and it looked great, so went with adding it in, made […]
Fig, Blueberry, Proscuito, Caramalised Onion & Goats Cheese Pizza
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I love fruit on pizza, so much lighter than the heavy cheese toppings you normally have. The fruits and savoury marry together beautifully. The blueberries pop in your mouth, and are lovely and sweet. I have found a few brands of gluten free pizza bases that are also egg free, and they are so […]
Vegetable Shoestring Fries
posted by thesensitivefoodie
A quick & easy way to get some veggies into a “fun” meal. Instead of potato I used a mix of sweet potato, parsnip, zucchini & eggplant to make shoestring fries. My husband is being so good about how many vegetarian meals I’m making, so grilled up some steak, in keeping with my bargain […]
Smoked Trout, Zucchini, Radish, Baby Potato & Herb Salad
posted by thesensitivefoodie
We have had some lovely hot summer days the past week, so we have been enjoying some lighter dinners. This Smoked Trout, Zucchini, Radish, Baby Potato & Herb Salad was nice and quick to make, and tasted amazing. I had gorgeous yellow zucchinis in my produce bag this week, and some radishes left over from […]
Plum & Blackberry Spiced Maple Crumble
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I am not much of a dessert person, but heaps of plums & blackberries in the fridge, I thought I’d see if they would work well in a crumble. The tartness of the fruit, mixed so well with the maple sugar & spices, with a amazing crispy spice crumb topping. This crumble could convert me […]
Heirloom Tomato, Zuchini Flower, Broad Bean & Ricotta Tart
posted by thesensitivefoodie
We are having such a crap summer in Sydney this year. Is has rained most days, and the days it is sunny tend to be roasting hot and muggy and then storms roll in by the afternoon. We bought new outdoor furniture at Christmas and we are yet to be able to enjoy it. […]
Prawn,Corn & Zuchhini Fritters with Beetroot & Kale Coleslaw
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I’m trying to eat as much nutrient rich food as possible at the moment, packing in as much veggies as I can into each meal. In an attempt to reduce my meat consumption, I’m trying to eat mostly vegetarian meals throughout the week, end then have one or two meat/seafood meals over the weekend. […]
Creamy Asparagus, Zucchini & Spinach Soup
posted by thesensitivefoodie
This soup packs in the veggies and is super delicious! The cream makes it nice and rich, you could easily serve this at a dinner party, and wow your guests. It’s a nice comforting bowl of soup, perfect for a rather brisk spring night like tonight, and a great way to get your greens! I needed a […]
Banana & Blueberry Bread
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I generally don’t bake. Baking doesn’t suit my “let’s just add this see how it goes” personality and since I can’t have gluten, eggs or most dairy I just find baking too hard to get right. But there was a banana situation that needed to be dealt with, and I am seriously using any […]
Zucchini, Leek, Bacon & Cherry Tomato Pasta
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Eating healthy doesn’t need to be difficult or time consuming. This absolutely delicious meal has only a few ingredients and was made in the time it took to cook the pasta. My husband has joined my gluten free diet which is making it so much easier, and we have also cut out all sugar. He […]
Jalapeno, Cheddar & Bacon Corn Fritters
posted by thesensitivefoodie
These Jalapeno Corn Fritters were so good that I decided to persevere with trying to photograph them in terrible lighting conditions, during a torrential storm we were having last weekend. I’m not happy with the pics, but the recipe is so good, that I am posting it anyway. I always have to look at my […]
Tomato, Basil & Goat Cheese Zucchini ‘Pasta’
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I am going through a ‘zoodle’ phase at the moment. If you haven’t tried zoodles yet, they are long strands of curly fresh zucchini and they are seriously good! It’s a great way to replace pasta in a recipe and to get lots of veggie goodness into a meal. I can’t resist appliances and gadgets, […]
Coconut Cherry Choc Balls
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Sometimes you just really need a sweet treat, and these Coconut Cherry Choc Balls are the bomb! Enough healthy ingredients to lessen the guilt and all the yumminess! I was craving chocolate today badly! So decided to whip up a healthier version of a cherry bounty bar. I was watching the new show on TV “Bringing […]
Pumpkin, Chickpea & Spinach Curry
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I’m back from our awesome 5 week Italy trip, boy did the time fly! After a slight (ok, major) hiccup at the start, I got the date of our flight out mixed up and had us arriving at the airport a day late….oops! Thankfully we were saved by the most wonderful man on the Emirates […]
My newest obsession…. Overnight Oats!
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Hi there! It’s been so long since I last posted. I’ve sort of gone into winter hibernation I think. Business has been crazy busy and we have been getting ourselves ready for our trip to Italy, which is now only 2 weeks away – YAY!! Super excited, and a bit nervous. I’ve been busily trying […]
Red Wine & Herb Braised Beef Short Ribs
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I have finally found the ‘new’ me; or I like to think it’s the real me, that is no longer fighting against my body. When I first found out about my food sensitivities I was pretty upset, but happy that I finally started feeling better and knew what was wrong with me. Then I was […]
Kale, Broccoli & Spinach Pesto Soup
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I haven’t had a proper holiday in years, and by proper I mean more than a long weekend. I am so excited at the moment, my hubby and I have booked a 5 week holiday to Italy in August!! YAY! A good friend is getting married in Tuscany, and Italy has been on our wish list for […]
Slow Cooked Rogan Josh Curry with Mint Yogurt and Spiced Quinoa
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I found a little slice of heaven last week, a shop in Rozelle in Sydney’s inner west called About Life. It is amazing! It’s like a health food shop, meets organic/healthy supermarket with a cafe. How did I not know this place existed until now? I probably should have listened to my brother, and as […]
Spiced Pear, Walnut & Sultana Cake
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Hi! Hope everyone’s new year has got off to a great start, I can’t believe it’s March already! I need to be honest – I’ve been a bad girl, actually more stupid than bad. For 6 months I wholeheartedly stuck to my allergy/intolerance free diet and couldn’t believe the changes in myself and how amazing […]
Christmas Plum & Ginger Chutney
posted by thesensitivefoodie
For me, this chutney is Christmas in a jar. The flavour and smell is just so Christmassy, and after years of making this, it just wouldn’t be Christmas without it. But this year, in my eagerness to get ahead and make this a month earlier to really develop the flavours, I managed to completely de-rail […]
Tempura Fried Zucchini Flowers filled with Zesty Chive Goats Cheese
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I love Christmas, I love entertaining, catching up with friends and family and enjoying the warmer weather. It is a crazy busy time of year for us, work wise this is the busiest time of the year for our business, which is great in the business sense, but it really cramps my style on the personal […]
Caramelised Onion, Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Tofu Quiche with Olive Oil Pastry
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I had rather naively made the decision that I wouldn’t try to adapted versions of certain dishes that I figured couldn’t possibly be the same as their ‘normal’ counterparts. I saw recipes on vegan blogs and thought ‘they just think it’s good, because they don’t know any better”. Then a couple of weeks ago I […]
Honey & Soy Salmon with Infused Coconut Rice
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Since giving up gluten, cows milk & eggs, I have felt pretty amazing. I find it sad that I spent most of my 20’s and half my 30’s in an exhausted, sick fog, and missed out on a lot of things I would have liked to do. I had no idea how badly it was […]
Beer Can Chicken With Chorizo & Haloumi Salad
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Paul Hogan once made it an Aussie saying to ‘throw another shrimp on the barbie’ even though we don’t even call them shrimp in Australia, they are prawns here. But Beer Can Chicken has slowly been creeping in the past few years, and in my book, it doesn’t get more Aussie than a chicken sitting […]
Indian Spiced Pork Belly with Rice Pilaf
posted by thesensitivefoodie
My family laugh at my “this is the best ever!” statements, I do have a tendency to get a little over enthusiastic about recipes, restaurants, etc, when I like something. I would rather be the person that raves about the great things than be the one that complains about only the bad things…..well that is […]
Dark Chocolate, Honey & Lavender Truffles
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Lavender seems to be one of those flavours that you either love or hate. I decided to have a go at coming up with a truffle recipe, and I like lavender, so I gave it a go. I wanted to test them out to make sure other people liked them, so I took them to […]
