A slightly different version of this cake has appeared in these pages before, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to redo it with these pretty pictures. This is a gluten-free and veganized ver...
I used to envy people who weren’t allergic to nuts for being able to eat almond butter. It seemed so satisfying. Then, in Toronto, I discovered that I need not pine for almond butter – I ...
So I am making up for months without blogging by making a bunch of things at once. We’ve been doing some work to our kitchen, but mostly I have just been busy and uninspired, and light is so ba...
For dinner today I made this fabulous warm salad from Epicurious, with roasted potatoes and garlic and kale, and a tahini lemon sauce. I didn’t use cheese, as I am off dairy lately, bit I did s...
I saw a food intolerance doctor this past week, and for the time being, I am eating gluten- and dairy free. Given that several important people in my life already do, the adjustments I am having to m...
Pear parsnip soup I can’t take credit for this soup – the recipe comes from Ricki over at Diet, Dessert and Dogs, and I barely made any changes to it. I halved the recipe, since I am just...
There is nothing particularly groundbreaking about this soup. I make variations over this kind of red lentil soup quite a bit in the winter, with carrots or whatever veg I have lying around. It quick...
I had various left-overs in my fridge, but what I really wanted today was mac and cheese.. And, as I mentioned, I have decided to cut out lactose. Thankfully there are options.. Mac and cheese, step ...
This past week was just grueling. So this weekend I am making up for it by taking it very easy and hanging out with friends. Yesterday, the co-op where I live (maybe that’s not the right term) ...
Living in a country where groceries are really quite expensive, and temporarily living with a friend who now works for the Ministry of Environmental Protection, I have been thinking about some small ...
So it’s been a little dead around here lately. There are a few explanations for that. I moved continents and started a new job. I (by which I mean my husband..) broke the lens on the DSLR camer...
This Thursday, I made a feast for some good friends. With no meat or fish, to cater to the vegetarian (except for some cured ham which she could skip). And without gluten (except for a gifted baguett...
Last week I went on a solo vacation to Nice for 4 days. I’ve been in the library all summer, and I am about to start a new job, so I needed to relax a little. An exciting fact about Nice is tha...
Two weeks ago, I was saying my goodbyes to Toronto, a city where I have spent four of the past six years and where I have largely been incredibly happy and always felt very much at home. It is also a...
Black bean brownies, you say? Might not sound very appetizing, but I swear they taste nothing like black beans! I have posted a recipe for really good gluten-free, vegan brownies here before, and the...
Two things have been on my mind lately. One, I feel sluggish and unhealthy after a hot summer of eating out too often. The kitchen has been so unappealing in 30+ degrees and I have eaten way too much...
I have had this terrible craving for brownies lately. And I am out of many of the ingredients for my killer vegan coconut brownies. And I am feeling sinful. I have been eating some foods lately with ...
I’ve made pear chocolate muffins before, but here is a different and somewhat healthier version with less fat and sugar. It is mainly sweetened with fruit. 3/4 cup teff flour 1 1/4 cup brown ri...
It’s been too hot to cook much so my lunchboxes have been fairly basic lately except when I have had leftovers available. Here are a couple of recent ones with the millet salmon patties I made ...
What to cook when it is too hot to cook? Toronto is scorching this week. And tomorrow will get worse – it looks like we might possibly set a July heat record with 38C. Plus humidity – the...
This morning I took most of the left over millet from this weekend’s salad and made patties.They go into today’s lunch box, along with a strawberry agar agar dessert, some store bought mi...
The title says it all! I brought this bento box to lunch today, with a millet black bean salad, a strawberry agar agar dessert and a mini pita bread with raisins, cinnamon and apple (the pita was sto...
Cappuccino at Sam James on a Saturday morning. I’ll miss that.
This recipe has several things going for it: it’s simple it’s quite healthy – all whole-grain it doesn’t require a lot of strange ingredients, like many gluten-free recipes Ye...
A few weeks back, I made this very strange cake in its original form for the husband and neighbors. I made it despite the fact that I couldn’t actually eat it – because the recipe was so ...
I just came home from the Atlantic on Dundas – my third visit since it opened last spring, and everything was just as amazing as the previous two. I have yet to be disappointed by chef Nathan I...
One of the most convenient things to put in a bento are frozen mini burgers, so I try every now and again to make a batch to have on hand. I don’t really have a recipe, so much, but they usuall...
The light was a bit weird, so struggled to get a good picture, but anyway. The main compartment has a gluten-free muffin (teff with coconut and apricot, OK but not quite successful enough to blog abo...
I have been terrible at updating the blog lately, and terrible at making bentos. But I should really get better at making bento ready foods, especially given that I won’t be making that much mo...
Today’s lunch will be some leftovers from last night’s dinner. I made a dish inspired by Mark Bittman’s Autumn Millet bake. I mixed millet with onion sauted with some curry powder a...
