Here is another dish that I plan to make for Thanksgiving. It is a spoonbread, which is basically a cross between a custard and a cornbread. If you have gluten-free eaters to feed on Thanksgiving this is a very good starch to serve. It is an old fashioned American dish that is traditionally made without…

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Kim Chee Sauce
I am planning on making these Brussel sprouts for Thanksgiving. They are unconventional, but delicious. I ate this dish at Star Noodle in Lahaina when I went home to visit my mother on Maui last spring. Star Noodle is an AMAZING restaurant, and if you have the pleasure of visiting Maui you should go eat there. Ironically,…
Mystery Squash Gratin/ Nolichuckey Bluffs B and B
I mentioned in the Succotash post, that my husband and I visited family and went camping in Eastern Tennessee recently. Well, we also stayed at a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. Our camping trip was followed directly by a visit to my husband’s Uncle in Johnson City. I feel comfortable with my in-laws, but not comfortable…
Chilled Avocado Soup/ Last Minute Cold Soup Roundup
The weather has been a weirdly beautiful this August in NYC. We only had a few weeks of unbearable heat and humidity (back in July). August has been sunny and not too hot and only occasionally a little bit muggy. It has not been the kind of weather that demands cold soup I…
Salmon Marinated in Spiced Yogurt (grilled or baked) with Rhubarb Chutney
I’ve been having a big craving for spicy, hot food. We’ve been eating lots of spicy chickpea pancakes and bhel puri with very spicy green chutney. This salmon dish does not have to be super hot, but if you use both green chilies with all the seeds it is nice and spicy! The recipe was…
Feeding the Masses of Miniature Spectacle Makers!
Lately, I have been very focused on helping with the 10th International Toy Theater Festival. This festival inspired me to begin making my own puppet shows in the 90s, and it is still my favourite festival in the wide world. It is produced by Great Small Works, a group of theater makers whom I admire…
Bengal Red Lentil Dal (to defeat seasonal allergies)
It’s spring time! It’s BBQ time! It’s allergy time! Today we will be addressing the third and least glamourous aspect of the current season. I will not go into the horrific details of my seasonal allergies. Those of you who share this problem know all to well what it is like. Last year, I posted…
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…
Cauliflower Gratin with Horseradish and Poppy Seeds
I just got off the phone with my best college girl friend, Rebecca. We lived together when she was a Sophomore and I was a Junior. We rented the furnished apartment of an old lady in Yonkers. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a great kitchen which flowed in a dining area and then…
Better Layered Blini Mushroom Casserole (gluten-free or not)
Last winter I made a Layered Wild Mushroom and Blini Casserole in an attempt to recreate a gluten free version of my favourite dish from the long ago closed House of Blini on East 86th street in Manhattan. For the full story about the inspirations click here. The version last year used wild mushrooms and…
