I am loving my farm share. I could not really tell in advance if it would work out to be a good deal, but now I am certain that it is an excellent value. I am enjoying the challenge of figuring out what to cook with a variety of vegetables that I don’t usually buy, and…

Strawberry Shortcake For Haters / Farmshare Cooking
FARMSHARE WEEK 3 Here is the report on Week #3 of my farmshare. Last week I got… Garlic Scapes- made into White Bean, Garlic Scape, Lemon dip. I also made some scape pesto, but did not love it. These were eaten with this amazing healthy gluten-free bread made from seeds and nuts from the blog My…
Hakurei Turnip and Spring Onion Pakora with Chat Masala/ Farmshare Cooking
We joined a Flatbush Farmshare this Spring! Vegetables from the Farm at Miller’s Crossing, fruit from Hepworth Farms and eggs from Brookside Farm farm are delivered to an old Church in the middle of our bustling, crowded Brooklyn neighborhood. They also have milk, yogurt and beef, but I did not decide to buy those. I know what your thinking. “How dull….
Strawberry Rhubarb Meringue Pie (gluten-free or not)
I am very proud of this pie. The filling is zingy, a bit tart and has a nice jammy consistency with chunks of fruit. The meringue is fluffy and sweet and very pretty, even if you (like me) have no patience for piping meringue and just slap it on top in a messy way. This recipe…
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…
Radish Snack with Avocado Crema and Spicy Pepita Powder
I love radishes. It is odd that I have not talked about more on this blog. I guess that I don’t actually cook with radishes. I just eat them as a snack with olives, salted nuts or cheese….and add them to every salad I make…and sprinkle them, minced on top of my eggs. Really, I eat…
Four more weird and delicious pestos
In celebration of tender green things and the spring time, I like to make pesto. Also, I tend to be very busy in the Spring and pesto is a fast way to add a homemade touch to quick food. I am not actually a big fan of the classic basil and pine nut pesto. I…
Stracciatella with Ramps and Nettles (to cure seasonal allergies)
I am not the most dependable food blogger. I try to post recipes that might be useful for upcoming holidays and whatnot, but I succeed only half the time. However, every year I do manage to post a recipe to sooth, defeat or cure seasonal allergies. Seasonal Allergies are cruel. The weather finally becomes bearable, and your…
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…
Baked Pistachio Herb Falafel with Two Sauces
I have been pining after a Tomato, Fennel, Yogurt sauce that I used to make. It was called Sauce Afghan and it was from my favourite Indian Cookbook Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking by Julie Saini. To make the sauce you fry onions, fresh tomatoes and yogurt with delicious spices until it separates and thickens…
