Pippa Kendrick is The Intolerant Gourmet. She blogs about delicious allergy-friendly food from a point of understanding, as she is wheat, dairy, soy, egg and yeast free.
She began The Intolerant Gourmet out of necessity for herself, but now creates amazing recipes to inspire anyone diagnosed with a food sensitivity.
Welcome to a whole world of allergy-free cooking! Whether it’s an inventive allergen-free combination, or an allergy-friendly reworking of an old favourite, Pippa will show you that being intolerant to certain (or in some cases, nearly all) foods does not have to restrict your menu in a negative way. In fact, it will open you up to a new way of eating that is delicious, imaginative, uses fresh ingredients and most of all, tastes really, really good.

Rustic Sundried Tomato Bread
This rustic and loosely shaped bread has a lovely golden crust and a rather nice crumb interior, it is so incredibly quick and simple, and makes the perfect off-the-cuff lunch teamed with some creamy hummus and cherry tomatoes. Feel free to play around with the added flavours; the addition of olives or thyme and rosemary would all work well, perhaps some pine nuts too.

Carrot Spiced Rice with Creamy Almond ‘Yogurt’
This dish is a beauty and makes a glorious vegan supper; the almond ‘yogurt’ is a lovely creamy accompaniment with a nice sharp, lemon back note to balance out the spiced carrot. This is a spring time kind of dish, still warming enough to give you energy but full of the bright, zesty notes of sunshine and warmth. Lovely.

Roast Potatoes with Peppers, Garlic and Creamy Tahini Sauce
Both vibrant and comforting; this is the simplest and most glorious of side dishes. Like all good accompaniments it marries well with almost anything: salads, dips and wraps all make wonderful bedfellows with these crisp and luscious, bite-sized roast potatoes, sweet and juicy peppers and mellow, creamy tahini sauce.

Gazpacho
Gazpacho is such a summertime dish. Sweet and slightly sour (that will be the tomatoes, cider vinegar, citrus juices and softened dates), mellow spicing (chilli, cumin, coriander, parsley) and just an overall delicious mix of creamy and crunch. This is one of those dishes that you just feel better for eating.

Carrot and Apple Cake with Lemon Icing
This cake is the winner: grated apple and carrots, caramel syrup and brown sugar and a delicate ripple of mixed spice make it deliciously aromatic and moist – the lemon icing on is just the proverbial cherry on top.
-
Baked Apple Charlotte
This is a wonderful pudding to warm you inside and out. You can have it two ways: bake in the oven and then serve warm with a generous pouring of vegan custard. Or, as here, bake into a tray bake, leave to cool and then drizzle with icing for a tempting and indulgent afternoon treat. Either way is equally delicious.

Apple and Tomato Panzanella
Panzanella is a Tuscan classic, made up of toasted stale bread made into chunky croutons, ripe, sweet tomatoes, fragrant basil, the bite of onion and a generous pouring of excellent olive oil – what’s not to like!

Gooey Chocolate Brownies
A vegan classic. This one uses Aduki beans (also known as adzuki beans), which are traditionally used in Japanese cookery to make a sweet and creamy paste called anko. Here, their creamy density is used to make the base of these delicious and gooey, dark chocolate brownies. Incredibly rich and chocolaty, they make a wonderful warm pudding - serve with vegan ice cream!

Roasted Vegetable Socca
Gluten free, soy free, nut free, yeast free. Socca, or Farinata as it is sometimes known, is a flatbread made simply from a combination of gram flour, water and oil.
