Greek Spinach and Quinoa
Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, yeast, soy and corn
When I was growing up one of my favorite comfort foods was Spanakoriso — Greek spinach and rice. It wasn’t fancy and in fact my mother used frozen spinach. Simply saute a chopped onion in a healthy douse of olive oil, add […]
Greek-style Baked Fish with Feta
Free from: Gluten, cow’s dairy, eggs, soy and yeast
I’ve been making this dish for years because it’s easy to do, healthy and the ingredients are basic, flavorful Mediterranean staples.
Typically I don’t measure anything, I just chop and spread the ingredients over the fish until it looks about right. The […]
Gluten-friendly Osteria Basilico, near Portobello Market
Will cook your gluten-free pasta if you bring it.
Osteria Basilico is one of our favorite restaurants in all of London. It’s probably not on a top ten list; it isn’t very big; and it doesn’t try to be more than it is. What it is, is a deliciously […]
Roast Pumpkin with Rosemary and Toasted Walnuts
Free from: Gluten, soy, eggs, dairy, corn and yeast. Vegan.
Yikes, I just noticed this is another squash recipe. Maybe my body is craving vitamin A.

Fuyu Persimmon and Avocado Salad
Free from: gluten, eggs, soy, dairy, corn and yeast
Recently several of my dearest and oldest friends got together for our annual Scorpio shindig. We have been gathering around food, and wine, for more than 30 years.
We met at Atari where we created packaging in multiple languages for the likes […]
Tequila-spiked Cranberry Sauce with Hot Chili
Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, corn, nuts and yeast. Vegan.
I originally posted this recipe after Thanksgiving, but it’s a new year and if you’ve found this recipe it may still be in time for Turkey Day. If not, Christmas and New Year’s are not far off and all these […]
Garlicky Green Beans with Sesame and Ginger
Vegan. Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, soy and yeast
Green beans, haricots, French beans — choose your name — are all descendants of the ayacot from Mexico where at least 30 varieties exist according to Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat in A History of Food. So like potatoes and maize this delectable bean found its […]
Gluten, dairy, egg and soy-free Apple Tart
Gluten dairy, egg and soy-free. Vegan. contains nuts.
Thanksgiving is coming and I am committed to making gluten, dairy, soy and egg-free desserts. I made a quince tart when I arrived in California last week totally jet-lagged. It was delicious but the amount of dough relative to the tart pan I had […]
