Spiral Vegetable and Pesto Quiche

If you're looking for a more filling appetizer, or need to feed a vegetarian, this beautiful Spiral Vegetable and Pesto Quiche is perfect. It's also large enough to feed a small army, and the added pesto really lifts the dish. This recipe isavailable in the SIBO Holiday eCookbook.

Mouthwatering Mains

When it's time for the main event, you can't go past a perfectly roasted bird and a wide selection of side dishes.

Succulent lemon and thyme roast chicken

If you're looking for something smaller than a turkey, you can't go past my Succulent Lemon and Thyme Roast Chicken. Basting in its own delicious juices, this chicken is the most tender, succulent bird you can eat. Perfect when cooking for 4 people. Cooking for more? Then double the ingredients or swap it for a turkey. Grab the recipe here or get it in the SIBO Family Favorites Cookbook.

Sensational Sides

Pick and choose from your favourite side dishes. I love nothing more than having a little taste of a lot of different things. The hardest part is choosing which sides to cook!

Chestnut and Bacon Stuffing

Chestnuts are low FODMAP and naturally gluten-free, making them the perfect alternative to a bread-based stuffing. The bacon, vegetables and herbs add a wonderful flavour. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Caramelised Butternut Squash Casserole

Caramelised roasted butternut squash is the perfect alternative to baked potatoes on a SIBO diet. Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs for an extra flavour punch. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Buttery bacon Brussels sprouts

I love nothing more than biting into perfectly pan friedBrussels sprouts. Cooked in bacon fat and sprinkled with chopped roasted hazelnuts, they take the humble sprout to the next level.

Green beans with slivered almonds

Healthier than the standard green bean casserole, these beans add a light and healthy element to your Thanksgiving feast. The slivered almonds add a lovely crunch.

Creamy mash

Looking for an alternative to mashed potato? I love whipping up steaming bowls of creamy mashed cauliflower and pumpkin. They are rich, creamy and velvety. Just like good mash should be.

Thyme Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

It took me a long time to be able to tolerate roast potatoes, and I longed for a good alternative. That's when my thyme roasted carrots and parsnips were born. The added thyme adds a lovely depth of flavour to the vegetables and they make an excellent alternative to potatoes. Grab the recipe hereand in theSIBO Holiday eCookbook.

Carrot and Parsnip Gratin

There's nothing more delicious than biting into a creamy, cheesy gratin. This SIBO friendly version uses a surprising ingredient to achievea luscious creamy texture. And for those who can tolerate it,a sprinkling of parmesan cheese is the perfect topping. This recipe is available in the SIBO Holiday eCookbook.

Roasted Pumpkin with a Sage and Walnut Drizzle

I love roasting mypumpkin until it caramelises and has a lovely deep flavour. Drizzling a sage and walnut dressing on it is next level stuff. This recipe is available in the SIBO Holiday eCookbook.

Gravy

Gravy IS possible on a SIBO diet. Using the turkey or chicken drippings, I mix it with extra stock and a pureed vegetable to thicken it. A sprinkling of fresh herbs and seasoning at the end ensures this gravy is thick, silky and absolutely delicious. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Cloud Bread Rolls

I'll be honest. These aren't exactly like bread rolls, but when you have to steer clear of all of the ingredients that make bread, these are a good alternative. Shape them like a roll and you won't be feeling left out with these on your plate. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Delectable Desserts

Make sure to tell your guests to leave room for dessert. If they're like me, they will claim to have a completely separate stomach for sweet treats. Make one or all of them, they are all equally as delicious at the end of a Thanksgiving meal.

Pumpkin Pie

How good is pumpkin pie? I'm completely in love with the creamy filling which is offset with the nutty crunch of the tart base. This version is best served cold, as it helps it set the filling, but it most definitely doesn't detract from the spectacular flavours. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.It is also available in the SIBO Family Favorites Cookbook.

Pecan Pie

Pecans are my all time favourite nut, so I was always going to include a Pecan Pie in my Top 20 SIBO Thanksgiving Recipes. It is dense, moist and very rich, so you only need a small slice. Let the house fill with the sweet pecan smell as this pie bakes. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Berry Crumble

Berries aren't in season in November in the northern hemisphere, but I use good quality frozen berries for this recipe with excellent results. The nutty topping adds a lovely crunch to this dessert. And if you can tolerate it, a scoop of homemade ice cream is perfect. This recipe was shared exclusively with participants of the Thanksgiving Cooking Class. Access the replay here.

Moist Orange Cake

This is a show-stopper of a dessert. I found a pretty bundt tin to give the cake a beautiful design, and the orange drizzle topping makes it look like a professional made it. It keeps well so is perfect with a lovely cup of tea the next day (if there are any leftovers, that is!). Get the recipe here.
