The hot, humid, seemingly unbearable cloud of oppressive summer weather makes us seek simple and light vegetarian dishes that use seasonal produce and minimize effort. Mostly, there are fruits, salads and chilled foods on our table these days but other than grilling, an occasional simple baked dish seems just right. I have a penchant for [...]

Improved Gluten-free Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie
Posted in Gluten-free dairy-free, Pie, Pumpkin, tagged Ginger snap pie crust, Gluten-free dairy-free pumpkin pie on November 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
With a great tip from Mark Bittman of The New York Times, I improved the gluten-free, dairy-free pumpkin pie that I made for Thanksgiving a year ago. Last year, the pat-in crust, made from purchased gluten-free ginger snaps, was really ugly. This year, I added unsweetened coconut to the ginger snaps and it worked much [...]
Pantry Potato Salad with Tomatillo Sauce

A couple of months ago, not long after this blog began, I posted a series on tomatillos. See November. I wish I knew how to link to those stories like other blogs that say “here” and “here,” sending visitors back in time to their own musings or into somebody else’s world. No, here you’ll have [...]
January P.S. — Kumquat Sorbet
Posted in Citrus fruit, Gluten-free dairy-free, Preserving, Sorbet, tagged Citrus, Preserving, Sorbet on February 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At Christmas we typically have a bowlful of kumquats decorated with Satsuma tangerines or other citrus with leaves, as a reminder of sunnier places. Citrus in the early to mid 19th century (not so long ago, really) used to be so rare and precious that getting a gift of a tangerine or orange was like [...]
OK Paris: A Correspondence Course 3 – Pipérade

OK Paris is an ongoing exchange of culinary encounters and yearnings during OK’s half-year relocation to Paris. Here again we have a delicious and versatile dish that is often eaten in France. It’s easy to make and keeps well, so making a batch that’s only partially consumed leaves some for a quick meal another day. [...]
Gluten-free Dairy-free Cornbread Stuffing for a Turkey
Posted in Cornbread, Gluten-free, Gluten-free dairy-free, Thanksgiving, tagged Cornbread, Gluten-free, Thanksgiving on December 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The first year that we decided to be gluten-free and dairy-free for Thanksgiving, I gave up my longstanding tradition of making bread stuffing for the turkey and moved over to a more Southern approach based on cornbread. I had been researching gluten-free baking, so I knew cornbread would be a good option. I used the [...]
Gluten-free Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie, so who said it had to be pretty too
Posted in Gluten-free, Gluten-free dairy-free, Pie, Pumpkin, tagged Gluten-free, Pie, Pumpkin on November 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Figuring out how to make a pumpkin pie dairy-free is not hard, given the possibility of using soymilk or unsweetened coconut milk as a substitute for cream or half-and-half. Figuring out a compatible crust is harder. The piecrust that I made last Thanksgiving emulated a whole-wheat crust but was crumbly to the point where I [...]
