Charred Harvest Vegetables with Spicy Romesco Sauce
At the end of October, I cooked at five course dinner for 12 women who attended the Garden of Alchemy event created by The Muses. Each course of the dinner evoked an element (water, air, fire, earth). I will be sharing the entire menu and photos from the event soon! For the fire course, I…

Crispy Grilled Cheese with Broccoli and Wasabi
I just made something for lunch that was so good that I am sitting down to write about it immediately, even though I do not have time to write food blog posts right now. If I did have time to write this food blog right now, there are a dozen other, already half finished posts…
Apple Lemon Almond Tart (gluten-free)
Happy Boxing day! I encourage you to make a tart for yourself. It’s been a hard year and you deserve a sweet treat. I made this tart to satisfy a personal craving that I was having for European style apple turnovers. I’m not talking about the weirdly puffy danishes doused with icing that appear in…

Corn and Seafood Chowder (Dairy-Free)
Last summer, I created this chowder recipe specifically for my mother, who is allergic to dairy. It uses cashew cream. Of course, now my mother has developed a cashew allergy. Honestly, I’m giving up. The good news is that I truly prefer the cashew cream here to real cream, and people other than…

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…
