Today we're going to be baking Christmas cookies - low FODMAP-style

J: If you don't know, Claudia and I adopted Stevie this summer

why not have a truculent twenty-something American who's obsessed with purple and sleeps 'til midday?

S: How long have you been preparing that? How dare you?

J: Stevie has recently been diagnosed with some connective tissue issues

and as part of that she's maybe gonna start looking at the FODMAP Diet,

which is very good for those of us who don't have great bellies

S: I bought gluten-free bagels and they were the most disgusting thing I've ever tried

J: I will admit that gluten-free bagels aren't a good idea.

S: Yaaay. J: Now, some people do have issues with different nut flours,

J: but this is the one that works for me, so hopefully it will work for you.

J: We're also going to be using...coconut flour!

J: Because coconut flour - boy, it just sucks everything up

J: with a less absorbent flour. S: Oooh, keep it moist.

J: That is what baking is. S: I know, that's why it's terrifying,

S: because there's so much math! J: Cooking is an art; baking is science!

S: I can't bake. I'm so happy you're here to teach me.

J: Because I looked around your kitchen... S: Here's the thing.

J: I couldn't find anything. S: So, American and English weighing systems are very different.

J: Obvious way, because... S: I know, your little scales are so cute!

J: We're gonna start with...! S: Oh, my God, you have to, like, do...conversions.

J: We're gonna start with a dairy-free spread or butter.

J: It's like a coconut-ginger Christmas biscuit, so...

that it's ten ounces, which is 283 grams.

J: ...In grams! C: You could probably Google it.

J: Shall we Google that? Let's Google. S: Yes.

This one I brought with me from England because I wasn't sure what you have here.

J: When you're on a FODMAP Diet, you can't have the sweeteners that end in "--ol,"

but this is sucralose, which they sell as Splenda here.

J: And we're going to mix until light and fluffy!

S: I feel like the sugar would just float away

J: I mean, yeah, it...it will, so. S: But like even slightly.

J: Then we need to add in eggs and…Golden Syrup!

J: Golden Syrup doesn't work for me and Maple Syrup doesn't work for me -

J: Instead, we have organic maple-flavored syrup.

J: Four tablespoons. S: Oh, great! I have the...

S: Yeah, we still measure in tablespoons, but not...? That's so weird.

J: I don't know why that would be different.

S: I don't know, I don't understand why you have—weigh in grams.

S: We only measure in weight when it's like a giant amount,

like, "I'm buying ten pounds of marijuana," you know what I mean?

S: Yeah. J: Oh, tell me again about the disgusting thing you guys do to eggs.

on the top of it; the natural membrane when the hen lays the egg.

S: Um, because we're obsessed with, like, being sanitary.

[Bewildered noise] S: It gets rid of its shelf life, which is usually--Americans love shelf life!

S: So that's why we refrigerate our eggs.

S: The first time I went to England, I saw the eggs just chillin', not in the fridge, and I was like

J: We were like, "we don't bleach our eggs like weirdos."

S: I posted it online and people were like, "Don't Google it."
