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…

Quinoa, Fennel and Pomegranate Salad
I found a recipe that I am super inspired by. It’s by Yotam Ottolenghi, published in this month’s issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Yotam is an Israeli-born chef who is renowned for his treatment of vegetables.
Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza…or a Gluten-Free Squash and Sage Gratin
I’m going to state this up front. This pizza is fancy, and it deserves a better pizza crust than what I have to offer. I have made gluten-free pizza crust from scratch and it was not much better than the gluten-free mix, so I just use the mix when I want a pizza. The mix…
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…
Moroccan Carrot Salad
At this time of year I can get my favourite carrots. They’re grown in Lillooet and are amazingly sweet and delicious. The only carrots I’ve had with more flavour were from my own garden. When I worked in a produce department we used to sell out of them constantly, so I know that I’m not…
Sweet Herb Stew
Typically when improvising I play with a lot of hot flavours. I love Chinese and Indian cooking and draw liberally from their spice palette. But the other day I felt like making something not spicy. Go figure. Cuisine wise, I generalize more when I’m thinking about European cooking. For instance, I think of the herbs…
Ethiopian Bread (Gluten-Free and Blini-Like!!!!!)
Ethiopian food is served on a big flat, spongy, crepe-like bread made from a fermented batter called Injera. It is delicious and it is traditionally made with Teff flour, which is gluten-free. Yay! However, most restaurants in North America cut the Teff flour with Wheat flour (cheaper and not gluten-free). Boo! I tried the simplest…
Yam, Swiss Chard and Chipotle Gratin
I recently made a very, very good yam and swiss chard gratin from Smitten Kitchen. I also recently made a pork loin with fruit stuffing and a chipotle sherry cream sauce from a restaurant cookbook. The fruit stuffing was delicious and the sauce was amazing but altogether the pork loin dish managed to be simultaneously…
Sweet and Sour Honey Pickled Beets
I think of pickled beets as being very Canadian. I moved to the States when I was 9 years old, and I can remember being REALLY excited about eating home-made pickled beets when we came back to Canada to visit family. In my family, if you are having guests or extended family for dinner…
Simple Swiss Chard
I have posted this recipe before. The first time, it was buried in a very long rant about home-made mayonnaise and it occurs to me that not everyone who might like this excellent, simple recipe is as interested in home-made mayonnaise as I am. Also, this is probably my favourite food. It is definitely the…
