Before giving up gluten, I was big cookie lover. I used to know where to get the kind of crispy, buttery chocolate chip cookie that I like, in almost every neighborhood in Manhattan. It was a survival mechanism.

Mona’s Gingercake (and a Gluten-Free, Vegan version)
I once made about a dozen gingerbread recipes and invited my friends over to taste all of them. It was an obsessive episode (not unlike my recent situation with cauliflower, only nowhere near as healthy).
Roasted Cauliflower with Gremolata Bread Crumbs (gluten-free)
I have eaten many, many heads of cauliflower in the last month. My husband is out of town, so I ate them all by myself….well, maybe I fed a little bit to my girlfriends who came over for lunch…
Very Simple Sherried Shrimp
I found this recipe on Food52 which the meeting place of excellent home cooks on-line. There are a lot of wonderful recipes to be found here. In fact, the collective wisdom of home cooks on this sight is positively overwhelming.
Cauliflower Kofta in Creamy Tomato Gravy (pan fried instead of deep fried)
I know, I know, enough with the cauliflower recipes already! Sorry, I am not even close to done with cauliflower. I am having a cauliflower moment.
Gingery Cauliflower Soup
Exactly one year ago today, I posted my favourite cauliflower soup recipe. I love that recipe because it is easy and creamy (although it has no cream in it).
Egg Lemon Soup
Whenever I make this soup I wonder why I don’t eat it all the time. It is inexpensive, healthful, delicious and quite elegant!
Magical Macaroons in Two Flavours- Almond, Cardamom and Berry OR Ginger, Lemon and White Pepper (gluten-free)
So, I have been on a big lemon curd kick and this means that I have a lot of leftover egg whites…
Savoury Indian Dumpling Cake in a Tangy Tomato Sauce (Handavo)
For a North American, this is a very odd recipe. It is from the state of Gujarat in India, and it is not the sort of dish that finds its way into Indian restaurant menus here.
How to Make a Hot Toddy
I have some strong opinions on this topic. I consider this the official Orr family cocktail. It is medicinal. If you are sick it will make you feel better.
