I’m sorry that this post is coming so late in rhubarb season. I spent a long time testing different versions of this tart before posting it. In fact, I have made four versions in the same number of weeks. Some versions were ugly, but they were all fabulously good eating. Rhubarb and Raspberry are…

Everyday Brown Sourdough Bread (Gluten-Free)
I know that baking season is over. It has been HOT for a few days in NYC already. However, I feel like I am finally hitting my stride with my sourdough project and so I am going to share one more gluten-free sourdough bread recipe before putting my starter to sleep for the summer in…
Pistachio Financiers with Rhubarb and Sour Cherry Compote (Gluten-Free)
I am very pleased with this dessert. It is a tiny, tender, pale green cake paired with a tart, floral, pink compote. One of the many things that I love about financiers (and compotes actually) is that they taste better after a few days. You might look at this recipe and think that you ought…
Rhubarb Curd Tart with a Buckwheat Almond Crust (Gluten-Free)
Did you know that Buckwheat is related to Rhubarb? I know! Weird right? I was so excited by this fact when I learned it, that I decided to make a rhubarb tart with a buckwheat crust. Then I had to wait until rhubarb season returned. Now the rhubarb is back and this tart is everything…
Sourdough Boule (Gluten-Free)
This recipe is for my mother. She carried some of my gluten-free sourdough starter home in her checked luggage when she last visited me, and is now struggling to stay on top of a pet that demands that you bake every week! Also, she was complaining about the cost of store bought gluten-free bread, so…
Tiny Coconut Chocolate Cakes (Gluten-Free)
My mother is allergic to egg whites. When I visited her recently, I made her quite a few scrambled egg yolks for breakfast. By the end of the visit I had a big vat of egg whites in the fridge. We used some of the egg whites up making a Macadamia Nut and Tropical Fruit…
Finally, a good gluten-free pizza crust
Until recently, I have had a resigned attitude toward making gluten-free pizza crust at home. The only really good gluten-free pizza’s I had eaten had been made in a wood-fire oven or on a grill and I don’t own either of those! But for the last few months I have been on a very involved…
Tropical Fruit and Macadamia Nut Torte- From the backyard in Kula, Maui (Gluten-Free)
For the last three years, my mother has been living in a little cottage in Kula, Maui on a beautiful property planted with mango, loquat, natal plum, macadamia nut, avocado, kukui nut and guava trees. While visiting my mother recently, my husband became excited about cracking open the macadamia nuts from the yard and…
Carrot Cardamom Muffins with Coconut Rosewater Icing (Gluten-Free)
I wanted to make a carrot cake inspired by Indian carrot halva for Easter this year. I wanted it to have coconut instead of walnuts and feature cardamom and rosewater. We are spending Easter with my mum on Maui, where I grew up and she still lives. I knew that my mother likes cardamom and…
Sinister Black Forest Trifle (Gluten-Free)- A birthday treat for the last cruel gasp of winter
I am lucky that I had the help of an award-winning cake decorator and artist (Tony) and also the help of a future surgeon (Bethany) with the decoration of our wedding cake, because if it had been left to me, we would have ended up with wedding trifle. Making pretty cakes is not my forte. I…
