Apple Cordial
This recipe is NOT FAILSAFE / Elinination Diet suitable. I used Golden and Red delicious apples (moderate salicylates), but as they are cooked with the skins the salicylate level is either high or very high. It may be OK if some salicylates are tolerated, for special occassions or a salicylate challenge. This recipe was adapted… Read more

It’s bun time!
It’s that time of year again! That time when I buy a new tin of instant yeast and start making buns – starting with the hot cross kind. I will be making hot cross buns for Oscar this weekend. We gave him a chance to try some commercial buns last weekend while he was out… Read more

Chicken and Leek Pie
I have made many chicken and leek pies, but this would have to be one of the best. With only minor changes to the original recipe from Kidspot, I poached the chicken in stock first, and gained the added benefit of some yummy chicken stock from my vegetable stock. Use any kind of pastry, or… Read more

Still Enjoying my Ice Cream Maker
Before it gets too cold to enjoy ice cream I thought I had better post these two recipes that we tried over summer – fig and apple pie (not together). The fig ice cream came about because of the abundance of figs on the tree that hangs over the neighbours fence. Last year I made… Read more

A Salicylate Challenge – Apricot or Peach Breakfast Oats
Summer would have to be the best time to do a salicylate challenge – so many delicious fruits that we have had to steer clear of are back on the menu (even if briefly). We have four stone fruit trees in our garden – apricots peaches and nectarines, as well as a mulberry tree that has… Read more

My Nana’s Pumpkin Cake
This is another recipe from my Nana’s hand written recipe book. It’s easy and yummy and tastes great with or without the fruit and nuts. Her recipes are all written with oven temperatures without fan-forced, so I try to cook them with the fan off rather than try and convert the timing (it’s easier this… Read more

Travelling to Japan
We arrived home on the weekend after two weeks holiday in Japan. Japan was a fantastic country to travel in (very easy despite the language difference) and the food was delicious. Our first few days there we stayed with an old friend of mine and got to have home cooked Japanese food – and lots… Read more

Caramel Popcorn
It’s a very long time since I’ve made popcorn, but when we started looking at high salicylate food re-introduction it was one of the first things that came to mind. I thought Oscar and I would have some one night while hubby was out and we were watching movies. I looked up this Perfect Popcorn… Read more

Using Up Leftover Pastry: Custard and Pear Tarts and Fruit and Ricotta Pin Wheels
These are two very easy, quick ideas for dessert or a snack that the kids can help make (see my little helper !). I love fruit and pastry, so these are a variation on my Simple Fruit Tarts recipe that I use when I’ve got enough left over pastry, or just an extra sheet lying around.… Read more

Apple and Pear Pie
I love apple pie, always have. When we started the RPAH Elimination Diet apple pie become pear pie – which was also pretty good. So now we combine both and have delicious apple and pear pie, sometimes with just a little bit of cinnamon (high salicylates). Read more

More Breakfast Ideas – Overnight Oats and Buckwheat Muffins
Some more recipes to put a bit of variety into breakfast. The overnight oats I actually came up with for myself, not Oscar. I love bircher-style muesli, but we consume a lot of dairy in our house, so I’m trying to cut down. I was searching for soaked oats recipes without milk, cream or yogurt and found… Read more

Chicken Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries
Chicken Burgers (or burgers of any kind), are an easy, simple meal that can cater for people with and without a variety of dietary restrictions. Get everything prepared, then let everyone add what they can eat. It’s also a lot of fun for kids to be allowed to serve themselves. We had them with Sweet… Read more

A Few Salads
We’ve finally got some warm weather again, so I thought I’d publish a few of the salad recipes that we’ve tried over the Summer months. Hopefully, we’ll have a bit more warm weather before winter sets in and you’ll have time to try some of them. The addition of pasta or noodles to salads has greatly improved… Read more

Fresh Rice Paper Rolls and Mango Fool
Well Summer is over (I can’t believe it’s March already!), and going by the weather this past week you would think it was Winter already. One of the things I love about Summer is the appearance of mangos, by the boxful, in the stores. Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits and as they are… Read more

No-Tomato Sauce & Nectarine and Sour Cream Cake
Welcome back for 2012. It’s been a busy time in the kitchen at Oscar’s house this summer. We’ve had a breakthrough with vegetables, with Oscar suddenly eating orange ones (carrot and sweet potato) without complaint, and even some greens ones! I’ve been putting them into more meals to keep his interest up – salads, sweet… Read more

The Birthday Party
Oscar’s 3rd Birthday Party was a great success! We had wonderful weather, so the party could go ahead in the park and Oscar and friends had a great time. The food also went down well, although we do have quite a bit left over to take to work tomorrow. The menu included: Schweppes lemonade (no… Read more

The Birthday Party Project #1
Oscar’s birthday is coming up in August and he’s having his first “kids party”. The first 2 birthdays where just with family, but this year we will be inviting friends from day care. If there’s one occasion when no food should be off-limits to Oscar it’s his birthday party, so I have identified some party… Read more

Apricot and Coconut Muffins (High Salicylates, Low Glutamates, Low Amines) Canola oil spray for greasing muffin pans 1 cup plain self-raising flour 1 cup wholemeal… Read more

Pear or Rhubarb Stirabout
This is another very simple dessert based on one from the Failsafe Cookbook (Rhubarb Stirabout), and its a good one for using up pears when they are at the point where they are about to start going brown and floury. The original recipe is for Rhubarb stirabout, so I’ve included that here as well. … Read more
