My cookbook collection is formidable. After a decade long moratorium on purchasing new cookbooks I have fallen off the wagon in the most spectacular fashion.

An Excellent Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
In October, I baked gluten-free pies for my husband’s second cousin’s beautiful wedding in Tennessee. Being so specific makes it sound like the bride is a very distant relative. She’s not. Chris’ family is close and connected and I love them. The Bride let me choose one flavor (I made Pear Sambuca Pie) and she…

Maui Foods That I WIll Miss
This winter, my mother retired and after 31 years of living on Maui, moved back to Canada. Over Christmas and New Year’s I went to home to help her pack up her house, touch all of my favourite rocks and trees and bodies of water and eat my childhood foods one last time. If you…
Adaptable Fresh Fruit and Mascarpone Tart (gluten-free or not)- Farmshare Cooking
I’ve been very busy. I worked 12-16 hour days all last week. So, I have not had a whole lot of time to cook. The craziness is over now. I have this weekend off, and next week I go back to a normal work week. Today, I slept in and figured out what I was…
Father’s Day! / Key Lime Pie with an Oreo Crust (Gluten-Free or not)
When I was nine years old, my mother and I moved from Canada to Maui, so that she could marry my fun, sweet, adventurous step dad. In a few years, I would hit puberty and develop all of the normal feelings of irritation and frustration toward my new father, but there were a few golden…
Happy Mother’s Day! Rhubarb Rose Tarts with a Cardamom Shortbread Crust (Gluten-Free)
I do not live near my family. If I did, I would want to throw a mother’s day tea today and serve this tart to my mum, my mother-in law, my sister’s mother and my aunties. Since this is my personal fantasy I’m going to invite my grandmothers as well. I am serving all of these…
Happy Lunar New Year!/ Gluten-Free Shrimp and Pork Dumplings (inspired by travels in Taiwan)
Happy Lunar New Year! I always feel a little bit more excited about the beginning of the Lunar new year than the I do about January 1st. Maybe I just need another month to get excited about the idea of a new year…or maybe it is easier to get excited about a new year if…
Light Hazelnut Cake with Flecks of Bittersweet Chocolate (gluten-free or not)
First of all, I am aware that my blog gives the impression that I am eating nothing but cakes and cookies with the occasional serving of Indian food lately. Not true! I have just been making a lot of food that I have already blogged about. I’ve been eating… Red Thai Vegetable Curry Pork Chops…
Little Almond Cakes with Fresh Raspberries (Gluten-Free)
Hmmmm. It is really not baking weather anymore here in NYC, but maybe this recipe will be just the thing for someone who lives far, far away from here. Clafoutis and Financiers are pretty much my two favourite kinds of cake. Clafouti is a rich and not too sweet baked fruit custard. Financiers are…
