Will the book have dairy-free recipes in it?

Yes – tons actually! Throughout the book, I’ve clearly labelled whenever a recipe is dairy-free. Whenever a recipe isn’t dairy-free, I’ve listed exactly how to make it dairy-free (if possible) for each recipe. This took *a lot* of work and recipe testing, but it’s always worth it for you lovely people! 90% of the recipes in the book are either dairy-free, or can be adapted to be dairy-free using a few simple swaps.

Will the book have vegan/veggie recipes in it?

Yes! I’ve clearly labelled whenever a recipe is suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If it isn’t veggie/vegan to start with, I’ve also included instructions on how to adapt it, if possible. We’ve been eating a lot more meat-free meals at home, so tons of the savoury recipes (especially) are a doddle to adapt using plant-based alternatives.

Will the book have low FODMAP recipes in it? What about lactose-free?

Yes! Whilst not all recipes are suitable for the elimination phase, I’ve clearly labelled the ones which are. You might also (hopefully) be a little mind-blown to find out that I haven’t used ANY onion or garlic throughout the entire recipe book. But shh… nobody would even notice! Oh and also, all recipes are all clearly indicated if they’re lactose-free, low in lactose, or how to adapt them, if they aren’t already.

And a massive thank you to everyone who made this book possible!

There is no way that some random girl who bakes gluten-free cakes in Essex would ever get an opportunity like this without the support of a lot of amazing humans (yes, that’s you!)

So here’s the soppy bit: thank you everyone who follows me, visits the blog, tries a recipe, sends me photos of the result (good or bad) and anyone who has generally supported me over the last 7 years of my blogging journey. It’s an absolute fact that this wouldn’t have happened without all of you behind me.

So thank you multiplied by a billion! I’d also like to thank the AMAZING team at Quadrille who believed in me and my idea enough to actually publish it. Honestly, this book looks absolutely beautiful throughout and it’s only thanks to their magic and expertise!
