About Fig & Flax
Simple, tasty home cooking – with wheat-free and dairy-free options marked clearly, and no fuss.
Fig & Flax started with a simple frustration: cooking without wheat and dairy shouldn't mean eating the same three dull meals on repeat, or hunting down expensive specialist ingredients.
So we write the recipes we want to eat every day, built around ordinary ingredients you can find in most supermarkets. Each one is marked wheat-free and/or dairy-free where that's true, with simple swaps where it isn't, and every recipe has an allergen note.
Who we are
Fig & Flax is run by Nicholas Collinson in the UK. We're home cooks – not chefs, doctors, dietitians or nutritionists – and our books haven't been written, checked or approved by one. Nutrition figures in our books are our own estimates from typical ingredient values.
[Optional: a few lines in Nick's own words – why he started Fig & Flax, what he likes to cook. Only real, true details.]
