My new favorite kitchen gadget: FlicFloc aka The Grain Flaker

January 10, 2016 by Deniz 4 Comments

My New Favorite Kitchen Gadget: FlicFloc The Grain Flaker. It’s never been easier to make oats, quinoa or rice flakes at home / fructopia.de/enMy New Favorite Kitchen Gadget: FlicFloc The Grain Flaker. It’s never been easier to make oats, quinoa or rice flakes at home / fructopia.de/enMy New Favorite Kitchen Gadget: FlicFloc The Grain Flaker. It’s never been easier to make oats, quinoa or rice flakes at home / fructopia.de/enDamn it! One by one my kitchen appliances were starting to bite the dust. I’ve come to ask myself if this is me or some universal force trying to tell me that I should step away from gadgets all together. Two broken blenders were more than enough to push me over the edge. I was convinced that I wouldn’t get myself another blender, ever. Of course, this and other New Year’s resolutions ultimately failed. The homemade pesto, bulletproof coffee and warm soup fanatic in me wouldn’t overcome this loss. Or to put it differently, without a blender I’d need to retire from blogging all together.

I still doubt the necessity of most other gadgets though. Let’s consider the exemplary ice-cream machine. The idea to make our own sugar-free ice cream whenever we want sounds fantastic at first. But then winter kicks in early and the tool disappears somewhere in storage for some 9 months or more. Not the kind of tool I like to spend my money on to be honest.

But what if the object of desire is no ordinary gadget after all? What if it has the potential to be a companion for life? A tool made from elegant wood, with an indestructible stainless-steel roller. A gadget propelled by your own body power rather than nuclear power from the socket. A helper for your everyday needs and beautiful to look at!

“And then she jumps to her feet to dance her little happy dance!” – This is me, everytime I look at this little fellow. It was love at first sight! This buddy here is definitely still an insider’s tip, on it’s way to becoming a mandatory household item everywhere. …

Some of you have been waiting for this recipe as long as, when it first made an appearance as part of this post. Ever since, I have received loads of messages the likes of: “Tell me Deniz, how do I get my hands on your recipe for those fructose-friendly chocolate buns?”

Request after request I kept putting you on hold saying: “The recipe isn’t ready yet. It’s too hot in Istanbul to bake at the moment. We don’t have an oven in our new flat. I don’t have access to the right ingredients right now.”…

Sugar-free Multigrain Pancakes with Chia Jam | wheat-free, low fructose

October 20, 2015 by Deniz 5 Comments

Fructose Friendly Multigrain Pancakes With Chia Jam (sugar free, wheat free, low FODMAP) // fructopia.de/enNow and then I get invited to talk on other blogs by other inspirational bloggers, who also happen to be affected by fructose malabsorption, IBS or allergies of some sort. Before every interview I worry that I won’t have anything new to tell. But I’m always surprised at how much I learn about myself and my own habits, when asked the right questions. Eva (individualisten.at) and Danée (lucyvstheglobe.com) know their craft and I’m particularly proud of being featured on their blogs this month.

With Danée we talked about FODMAPs, FOMO and Berlin. Our interview was the last of its kind, which she conducted for Lucy vs The Globe. But I’m sure there are more exciting things to come! Read the full interview here.

Eva is everything I’m looking for in a modern yet grounded nutritionist. Unfortunately her blog and our interview are in German only. I did translate the recipe I shared with Eva’s readers however. Even though I’d love to translate the full blog entry for you someday! Enjoy! …

Toasted Quinoa Salad With Grilled Halloumi And Herbs (Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Fructose Free)

August 5, 2015 by Deniz 5 Comments

Toasted Quinoa Salad With Grilled Halloumi, Fresh Herbs And Tahini Dressing (low FODMAP, low Fructose, Gluten-Free) // Fructopia.de/enQuinoa-Salat mit gegrilltem Halloumi, Kräutern und Tahini-Dressing (vegetarisch, gluten-frei, fructosearm) // fructopia.de

Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Grilled Halloumi, Herbs And Tahini Dressing (Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Fructose Friendly, Low FODMAP) // fructopia.de/enThe culprits: Black tahini and coconut butter! The victims: Two broken kitchen machines in less than a week, one of which wasn’t even mine.

After destroying two tools in such a short period of time, I had to ask myself whether I

a) own the wrong tools,
b) live in the wrong country or
c) should stay away from ‘fancy recipe’-land for a change?

Why? Because I keep thinking, this “Braun/Magic Bullet”-dilemma wouldn’t have happened with a Vitamix. And would I have been in Germany instead of Istanbul at the time, I most likely would have simply picked up ready-made coconut butter or tahini at the nearest health food store instead of bothering to make it from scratch. Leaving us with c) and the realisation that too much of Pinterest’s rainbow-cake-wonderland-inflow can be destructive at times. …

Gluten Free, Sugar free Strawberry-Raspberry-Tartelettes aka Princess-Tartelettes for Emmi

July 9, 2015 by Deniz 6 Comments

This new recipe is divine: Gluten free and fructose free hemp seed tartelettes with strawberry-raspberry-curd // Dieses neue Rezept ist wahrhaftig königlich: Gluten-freie Hanfsamen Törtchen mit fructosearmer Erdbeer-Himbeer-Creme // fructopia.deThis new recipe is divine: Gluten free and fructose free hemp seed tartelettes with strawberry-raspberry-curd // Dieses neue Rezept ist wahrhaftig königlich: Gluten-freie Hanfsamen Törtchen mit fructosearmer Erdbeer-Himbeer-Creme // fructopia.deIt’s not always easy. People like you and me, are surrounded by endless menus, we run around supermarkets for hours, but in the end we still end up going home hungry and annoyed. “Do we really need to add onions, wheat, tomatoes, sugar, honey and dates to every freaking dish?” According to research, “every third German suffers from fructose malabsorption”, so do I really need to argue with the waiter when all I need to know is exactly what they put in the that dressing? Whoever came up with fructose malabsorption, must have loved complaining. After all, it’s what really comes naturally to us (sarcastic undertone), isn’t it?…

App-Review: “Food Intolerances” + A Giveaway

March 26, 2015 by Deniz 9 Comments

No matter if you are a newbie or a trooper, we all have to deal with tons of contradicting lists and information when faced with fructose malabsorption. With time you learn to trust your own gut instincts instead of blindly following other peoples’ lists. But still, wouldn’t it be nice to have easy access to all the fructose-related knowledge, just in case? Impossible? Not quite!

There is an app for that: “Food Intolerances” by Baliza

I’ve read a lot about the app “Food Intolerances“. It is a handy little guide for people suffering from food intolerances, looking for trustworthy information on whether a food should be avoided or not. The creators of the app evaluated more than 700 foods and rated them in terms of their fructose, lactose, sorbitol, histamine and gluten content. The best thing about it: The creators know exactly what to look for, because they all suffer from different food sensitivities themselves. Let’s jump into the details, shall we? Bonus: If you make it to the end of the review, you get a shot at winning 1 out of 5 copies of this app for free!

Sweet Pumpkin Bread With A Cinnamon Swirl (Low Fructose, Wheat Free)

March 4, 2015 by Deniz 1 Comment

Sugarfree Sweet Pumpkin Spelt Bread with a Cinnamon Swirl // Süßes Kürbis-Dinkelbrot mit Zimtwirbel ohne Zucker // fructopia.deThe word is out: Last week I gave my final approval for my very own cookbook to go into print, but my small chipmunk heart is still pounding like mad. Between writing posts, testing recipes and the usual chaos here in Istanbul, I somehow forgot that the real excitementis only just about to begin. Writing a cookbook on the quiet is one thing. But waking up everyday to your good wishes, knowing that there are people now actually waiting for my cookbook to bet published, that’s pretty absurd.

So bear with me, while I get a bit emotional: I just wanted to say that I am really grateful for each and every one of you! Thanks a million for your lovely words and support! Thank you for every single like and share! Now come here, let me give you a hug and then I’ll bake you all the fructose free cakes in the world. We’ll have loads of low-fructose wineas well, but don’t tell anyone, okay? …

Kitchari: Guts Healing Rice Bowl

December 29, 2014 by Deniz 1 Comment

Heal your guts with this fodmap friendly ayurveda rice bowl // Fructosefreies Heilfasten mit ayurvedischem Kitchari // Fructopia.deThere may have been few signs of it lately on FRUCTOPIA, but don’t be fooled, fructose malabsorption still plays a major role in my life. While I sometimes feel as though the symptoms are not worth mentioning anymore, I can’t help but remember the hell I used to go through before receiving the liberating diagnosis. Who would have thought, I’m actually feeling rather fine these days. True story.

“Well, good for you!“ you might find yourself thinking. When you are new to fructose malabsorption and knee-deep into your elimination phase, you may also be asking yourself how anyone could possibly be feeling fine, when dealing with fructose malabsorption? …

Sweet Parsnip Bread

Fructosefree Christmas bread with parsnips // Pastinaken-Weihnachtsbrot ohne Fructose und ohne Weizen // Fructopia.deFructosefree Christmas bread with parsnips // Pastinaken-Weihnachtsbrot ohne Fructose und ohne Weizen // Fructopia.deSeeing lettuce heads hanging low, mere pale shadows of their former selves, while all the iridescent and plump berries have retired to the freezers emphasizes the writing on the wall: Winter in Turkey has arrived. Not only are the temperatures dropping, so is the availability of fructose free fruits and veggies. But don’t despair, there are still some fructose friendly gems around just waiting to be turned into warming soups and stews, hearty casseroles and fondues. All we need to do, is to switch our focus from green to white: Wake up dear celery roots and parsnips! These days we require more nutrients and energy to keep us warm than during any other time of the year. …

Fructose Free Blueberry Spelt Pie (Sugar Free)

October 1, 2013 by Deniz 5 Comments

Fructose free recipes: Blueberry pie // Fructosearme Rezepte: Heidelbeer-Törtchen // Fructopia.deLast week I was eating myself through several spelt products to test my personal level of tolerance. What can I say? I’ve fallen in love with it. I didn’t experience any side effects no matter what sort of spelt product I was eating. What’s more, spelt or “Dinkel” in German is a very popular grain here in Germany. That is why you can find a gazillion spelt products in almost any supermarket and, even better, freshly baked spelt bread at any bakery that sells quality bread. Wohoo!

Nonetheless, even in Germany it is difficult to come by a spelt dessert that is low in fructose. Time to step up to the oven again. This recipe for blueberry spelt tartlets already landed in my inbox a while ago. I fell in love with this recipe at first sight. It sounded too delicious, too easy, too tolerable for us fructose malabsorptioners. Too good to be true? Without a pack of whole grain spelt flour at hand I was going to have to wait a while before I could have my first go at baking with spelt. As soon as I did, this recipe turned out to be just like I had imagined. Thank you Carole for this wonderful recipe! …
