I started making these muffins when I was a teenager, newly vegetarian and searching for sources of iron. Molasses is high in iron, I read, as are dried apricots and dark green leafy vegetables. Alright.

Roasted Cauliflower and Caramelized Onion Tart (Gluten-Free)
This is ANOTHER excellent recipe from Smitten Kitchen. I made a gluten-free version for New Year’s Day and it was well loved and totally devoured. I was attracted to this recipe because I am addicted to caramelized onions…
Quarante Quatre Home-made Liqueur
I can’t remember how this conversation started. I suspect it was October when Rachel told us about the Quarante Quatre. It looks funny to type those words. When you say it as an Anglophone it sounds more like “Care Aunt Cat,” where aunt is pronounced in that British sort of way that sounds like you’re…
Friday Afternoon Pear and Hazelnut Pudding Cake (gluten-free)
Sometimes, usually on a Friday, our friend Bethany drops in. She has keys to our place, so she could just come over un announced, but usually she calls to say that she’s going to drop by after school. She is in Medical school at SUNY downstate which is right around the corner from our house….
Guava Cream Cheese Tarts (Gluten-Free )… the charmingly imperfect result of a five year obsession
I have been thinking about trying to make this for a very, very long time. In 2007 Chris and both spent a lot of time working in Los Angeles on the opening of the amazing Noah’s Ark at the Skirball. Chris designed and built kinetic sculptures and puppets of 46 of the animals on…
Fennel-Scented Sweet Flaky Bread (Meetha Paratha)
I first tried making this delicious flat bread at my friend Meta’s house. At the last moment we realized that her brown wheat flour was no good, so we gave it a go using a mixture of buckwheat and pea flour. They turned out yummy, but this bread is much easier to make with wheat…
Layered Wild Mushroom Blini Casserole (Gluten-Free)
I moved to New York from Maui when I was 18 years old. I had never even been to the East coast to visit. I had a scholarship to attend college at a school just outside of the city, so I just moved here. For the first many years that you live in New…
Red Snapper Hash
During college, and for a few years after, I worked for a fashion designer. In general I did not fit in well in the fashion world, partly because I talked to much about food and upset my dieting co-workers.
Savory Sweet Corn Pudding
When I first moved to Brooklyn there was only one fancy restaurant in my immediate neighborhood. It was called The New Prospect Cafe and it was on Flatbush, across the street from where the Jamaican Patty place used to be. With its small seasonal menu, it was a harbinger of Brooklyn’s culinary future. When I…
Corn Fritters with Poblano Peppers and Goat Cheese (Gluten-Free)
The day after our wedding we made a huge lunch out of leftovers for the 50 or so guests who were able to stay the whole weekend. Making food from leftovers is one of my favourite activities. I despise having to throw food or ingredients out so finding a way to use up several random…
