Gluten-Free Blood Orange Cardamom Cake

March 7, 2010

Before I started blogging about food, lemons were lemons and oranges were oranges. Things are different now.
Now, I’m obsessed with Meyer lemons.
And crazy about specialty oranges: blood oranges, in particular. I’m totally and completely in love with them because they are so beautiful…

…and because when they are in season (now!), they taste just like [...]

Okayu with Mushrooms, Edamame and Matcha Salt

February 18, 2010

Okayu is a Japanese porridge renowned for its ability to cure anything from garden-variety stomach ailments to hangovers. Healing properties aside, I just love it as a savory breakfast.

To make okayu, you use a larger volume of liquid than is typically used to make rice and you cook it for a fairly long time: [...]

Holly’s Green Smoothie

January 29, 2010

When my friend Holly Shelowitz posted her favorite green smoothie recipe on Facebook, I wanted to try it immediately. I did…and I loved it.
Holly is holistic nutritionist. We only just met a few months ago, but we have so much in common that it feels like I’ve known her much longer. She and I share [...]

Like many other food bloggers, I’m having a hard time chatting about recipes and sharing pretty pics when there are so many people suffering in Haiti right now. Another earthquake hit this morning.
I’ve been touched by what many bloggers are doing to help, and I’d like to do something too. Read on to see how [...]

Meyer Lemon Pudding (Mostly Raw and Vegan)

January 18, 2010

When I found Meyer lemons at my local Hannaford’s market last week, I did a little happy dance.

I’ve been hoping they’d show up in my area for many weeks now, ever since I saw this Meyer lemon tart recipe over at Food52.
Meyer lemons are said to be a cross between a lemon (the most common [...]

Breakfast Millet with Prunes

January 18, 2010

In know, I know, the title doesn’t sound terribly appetizing, right?

Please bear with me, though, because this recipe for breakfast millet is surprisingly delicious.
Millet has a long history of cultivation, but it’s hardly a popular food here in the United States. Most people probably know it as “bird food” more than anything else. It’s seriously [...]

Spiced Muesli with Raisins and Cashews

January 10, 2010

As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, I am a big fan of Food52. I regularly enter recipe contests over there, and I even won a contest with my turkey pho recipe back in November…
Last week, for their “Best Couscous” contest, I made this couscous recipe and I just loved the combination of the spices [...]

Kumquat Marmalade with Champagne and Figs

January 8, 2010

Kumquats are a citrus fruit available in the winter months. They look like an orange, only they are much smaller and they are oval-shaped. Like other citrus fruits, they are quite high in vitamin C. Kumquats are pretty sour, but their edible peel is sweet.

Kumquats are not easy to find where I live; when I [...]

Gluten-Free Coffee Almond Cookies

January 5, 2010

This recipe for gluten-free coffee almond cookies is ridiculously easy, and the results are ridiculously good.

These are made with no flour at all, so they don’t contain gluten (or empty calories, for that matter). Ground almonds take the place of the flour, so they’ve got lots of nutrients and fiber. They are also quite [...]

New Year’s Resolution Ochazuke

January 1, 2010

Happy New Year! I hope you had as nice and restful a week as I did.

I don’t generally venture into resolution territory, but this year I decided I really need to do something about my “breakfast problem”. For several reasons (the main ones being that I am not generally hungry first thing in the morning [...]
