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 […]
Gluten-free, Vegan Pumpkin “Pie” with Gingersnap Crust
Ok so I missed getting this up before Thanksgiving but pumpkin is good for you all year long. It’s low calorie, low fat, full of B vitamins, beta carotene (for Vitamin A), potassium and fiber. It’s also smooth and creamy and the perfect foil for ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. Tess […]
Dry-farmed Tomato Confit
Several years ago in early September I discovered Molino Creek Farm tomatoes — my first dry-farmed tomatoes. My Lord! I don’t know if I ever had tomatoes so red; so sweet; so seductively rich with flavor. At first I ate them plain, like fruit bursting with juice that sometimes dribbles down […]
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 […]
Cannellini Bean Soup with Mint and Lemon

A quick and healthy snack with raw vegetables, or, in place of mayonnaise in salads and sandwiches or even cream cheese with smoked salmon, hummus is one of my go-to foods. Beans […]
Raspberry Thumbprint cookies
Free from: gluten, dairy, egg, yeast, corn and soy. Vegan. Contains nuts.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to say “I love you” than these home-baked thumbprint cookies with passionate red raspberry centers. Don’t get me wrong, I love dark chocolate, red wine, truffles (the white […]
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 […]
