Here is another way to use the basic bread dough that I use for bread rolls and pizza bases. It rolls out well and any small tears can easily be mended. The fillings you could invent are endless including a typical pizza topping of tomato, ham and cheese. This is a great way to use up leftovers, perhaps a meat sauce from a pasta meal. The dough really is very easy to throw together so this could be a very simple dinner dish that all the family would love.

Savoury Pancake Pinwheels – Low Fodmap & Gluten-free
I saw an Italian lady make this dish on TV the other day. It looked quite stunning, and she made it look simple and quick. You would think that I had learned by now that cooking programs are very deceptive because of all the off-camera help the front person has. This would be suitable to make for guests but perhaps not for the family since it took ages to make. Thank goodness I started early because I was wanting to take photographs. I can say that it was worth it in the end but I can never reconcile taking several hours to make a meal to have it all demolished in 10 minutes. But maybe you are quicker at cooking than me. I served it with a homemade tomato, caper and basil sauce.

Bacon & Spinach Risotto – Low Fodmap & Gluten-Free
Risotto is one of those dishes that I learned to make while I was in Italy. It's all about letting the liquid absorb in between cupfuls. That lets the starch do its work, and the risotto becomes creamy. You can do any number of flavour combinations - they might not be authentically Italian but that should not hold you back. I created a flavourful base of chilli and ginger then made a tomato/stock/wine mixture for the liquid. At the last minute I added cheese, spinach and cooked chopped bacon. It made a very nourishing and warming dish. 5.0 from 3 reviews Bacon & Spinach Risotto - low Fodmap Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Serves: 4 Ingredients 2 cups risotto rice 1 stalk of celery 1 green chilli A knob of ginger 1 carrot ½ cup of red wine 1 cup tomato puree 2 stock cubes (onion and garlic-free) 4 cups of boiling water A bag of spinach 300gms/11 oz of thick cut bacon A handful of grated hard cheese Salt and pepper Method Boil the kettle.

Pesto and Prosciutto Pizza – Low Fodmap and Gluten-Free
You all loved the last low Fodmap pizza I made HERE and it was shared heaps on Facebook so here is another version - same pizza crust, different toppings. Everyone loves pesto, and it goes perfectly with pizza so it makes a great topping instead of tomato. Then you can pile on anything you like. Eggplant instead of zucchini works well too. We are permitted 1/2 a cup of both so don't overindulge. Having lived in Italy for nine years, I have a fondness for prosciutto but it is quite expensive here. Buffalo mozzarella would have worked well too but a reasonably small ball costs about $10 in New Zealand so I only buy them for special occasions. Pizza is a good fallback meal when you don't know what to make or can't be bothered going shopping. The pizza crust is so easy to make, and I always have the ingredients, and anything can go on top.

Nicoise-Style Quinoa Salad – Low Fodmap & Gluten-free
A reader of my blog suggested a nicoise salad made with quinoa could be a good low Fodmap dish and I agreed. I substituted the quinoa for the potatoes just because the quinoa adds more fibre. Then I gave it my own twist with the addition of feta cheese, which I love and my favourite herb, coriander. There is not a lot of rhyme or reason to that except I had feta and coriander in the fridge but I do have to say that it worked well and didn't overwhelm the palate. Nicoise-Style Quinoa Salad - low Fodmap Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Serves: 6 Ingredients 1.5 cups white quinoa 10 anchovies 2 tomatoes 4 hard boiled eggs 1 can of tuna in springwater 1 cup of chopped cooked beans 100 gms feta Baby spinach leaves Black olives For the dressing Olive oil Balsamic vinegar Salt & pepper 1 tsp mustard 1 tbsp chopped coriander/cilantro Method Boil the eggs and green beans.
