Why

The most important single product in low-FODMAP cooking. Fructans are water-soluble and do not migrate into oil, so infusing separates the flavour from the trigger almost perfectly. Buy it rather than making it — storing raw garlic in oil creates a low-oxygen environment that can support Clostridium botulinum, which is a genuine risk rather than a cautious footnote.

Proof that pasta night survives the elimination phase. Twenty minutes, one pan of sauce, and nobody at the table can tell it is a restricted recipe.

Elimination breakfasts collapse into oats within a fortnight. This is the savoury one that holds up, and the oven does almost all of it.
