Italian Roasted Red Peppers
Free from: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast, and nuts. Vegan.
The first time Ernie fed me at his home, he served these rustic roast peppers steeped in peppery olive oil with a touch of sweet balsamic. Roasted over a fire, redolent with garlic, and accented with freshly chopped basil, these silky, […]
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 […]
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.
This cozy dish comes together lickety split. The sweetness of the pumpkin combines nicely with the piney, sweet taste of the rosemary. The final crunch […]
Quinoa, Kale, Squash and Pumpkin Seeds
Free from: gluten, eggs, soy, dairy, yeast and corn. Vegan.
I must admit, we’re still in the throes of holiday eating while relaxing for a few days in Seville. That said, the countdown to the New Year has started and like every January for at least the last 30 years […]
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 […]
Lentils with Carrots and Cumin
Free from: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast.
We’re expecting a heat wave in London tomorrow, but judging by the grey sky and chilly temperature, I think a warm bowl of lentils sounds more cozy.
Inspired by my friend Julieta who sent me a similar recipe using split peas, but I used lentils […]
Quinoa with Butternut Squash and Prosciutto
Free from: gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, corn and yeast. Vegan option.
We just got back from the States and there wasn’t much to eat in the house. I bought a hunk of butternut squash on my way home from my morning walk and then looked around for what might go with it. […]
Fresh Fennel Slaw with Chili and Mint
Free-from: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, yeast
I love cole slaw. When I was a kid my Mom got a Ronco Chop-O-Matic that made chopping cabbage, onions and carrots for coleslaw a snap. We had coleslaw at least once a week. In fact, I took the Chop-O-Matic to college and wowed my roommates […]
