The other day I was contacted by the publisher Modern Books and asked if I’d like to review a copy of Calm Belly Cookbook by the Norwegian low FODMAP writer Cecilie Hauge Ågotnes who runs the website Low FODMAP Blog. I jumped at the chance to have a read of Cecilie’s book and got my copy a few days later. Now, hand on heart, I promise I’m going to write an honest, fair and balanced review of the book. Yes, I have included Amazon affiliate links to the book, but it’s entirely up to you as to whether or not you’d like to use them.

Giant Jaffa Cake (serves 6-8)
At New Year my eldest stepson decided he wanted to make a giant jaffa cake for dessert on New Year’s Day and I was so impressed with it that I decided to have a bash at making one myself. It feels a bit naughty to put this up on the website because it’s so utterly easy to make, especially when you just buy a ready-made gluten-free sponge to use, but I can completely justify it because it’s delicious and that’s all that matters.

This recipe for chocolate fudge cake kind of came about by accident because I was on autopilot making a coffee and walnut cake the other day and as I was pouring my cake batter into my two cake tins I realised that I’d added cocoa powder into the mix without even realising. I clearly enjoy chocolate cake far too much! However, this turned out to be a fortunate mistake because after I’d baked the chocolate cakes I realised that I could turn them into a rich chocolate fudge cake instead.

It’s Christmas Eve and I think that because it’s an evening that’s inherently filled with a sense of magic and wonder it’s a perfect evening for gathering around the dinner table and sharing a relaxing, warming meal with our loved ones. However, as much as I love making a good dinner on Christmas Eve I also think that it’s always nice to make something really special for dessert, such as this festive meringue wreath.
