Spicy Fried Chickpeas from Moro Restaurant in London
Gluten, dairy, egg, soy, yeast and nut free.
The first time I went to Moro Restaurant was last September when Tess was moving to London for graduate school. Moro was on my restaurant radar since 2010 when Ernie and I first moved to London. Sam and Sam (Samantha) Clark […]
Fresh Roasted Tomato Salsa
Gluten, dairy, egg, soy and yeast-free. Vegan.
I really like good salsa with crisp, corny, tortilla chips. Mostly I like salsa because it usually means there’s fresh guacamole and an icy Margarita in my future. For years I bought salsa — all different kinds of salsa. Some delicious and some ordinary; some […]
Dock Kitchen, London
Just north of Notting Hill on the Grand Union Canal in Ladbroke Grove, West London sits the experimental restaurant Dock Kitchen. The converted Victorian Wharf building retains original red brick walls and arches that complement the restaurant interior designed by furniture designer Tom Dixon […]
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 […]

Primavera Breakfast at San Francisco Ferry Building Farmers Market
Jet-lagged and hungry for food I can’t get in London, we headed to the San Francisco Ferry building to meet Bonni for breakfast at the Farmer’s Market. It was glorious. A brilliantly blue sky flecked with white. The air was brisk but when the wind fell off […]
Why I Love Tapas Brindisa and their Shop at Borough Market
The first time we went to Brindisa we were on a food high as it was also our first foray to “London’s Larder”— the Borough Market. Situated on the south bank of the Thames, under graceful Victorian railway viaducts, this vibrant food haven offers locals […]
Mercada de Triana, Seville
I’m sitting here trying to remember all the details of day four the Natural Light-Natural Food photography workshop. It’s taken far longer than I ever anticipated organizing images, picking ones I thought might be interesting and trying to put together a cohesive story. In the end I think I’ll deal […]
The Miracle of Shirataki Noodles
Free from: gluten, soy, eggs, dairy, yeast. Vegan.
A few months ago my comrade in all things food and dieting, Julieta, told me about Miracle Noodles, a virtually calorie and carb-free pasta made from konjac root, sometimes called konnyaku. The noodles, Shirataki in […]
