Poached Eggs with Mushroom Cream Sauce
We have a farmers market about a block away from us that runs all summer long every Thursday. On my visit today I found some perfect little green beans; I wish I could remember the variety, they are slim and tender, like baby beans. I couldn’t think what to have with them (with limited fridge

Socca Pizza {gluten-free}
I have a slight obsession with socca, the flatbread made from chickpea flour. There’s something really satisfying about chickpea flour used in this way – it’s somewhat bread-like, but not in the dry, puffy sort of way. The socca has a unique, and as Shane observed, almost potato chipish flavour; my favourite part is the

Lime Tarts
A couple of weeks ago, I fortuitously discovered the ambrosia that is the Passionfruit Tart from Ken’s Patisserie, here in Portland. Emmy and I were out for a walk, and I thought I would just stop in for a small treat. At the first bite, I said to myself “this is one of the best

Ricotta Gnocchi {with einkorn flour}
For those who love doughy things as much as I do, you must have a good gnocchi recipe to satisfy both the doughy and the pasta cravings all in one go. I have had really good gnocchi in Italian restaurants, and also not-so-good packaged gnocchi from the store. If only I’d realized sooner how easy

Oat Flour Pancakes {gluten-free}
I found this recipe about 15 years ago in a magazine called “American Health”, and it’s been a favourite ever since. This was before the gluten-free diet became well-known, but it was listed as a superfoods recipe in the magazine because it was made with oats, and had an accompanying blueberry sauce recipe, which I’ll

Apple Dutch Baby {gluten-free}
I’ve made regular wheat flour versions of Apple Dutch Baby recipes many times, but now I like to try to use gluten-free flours whenever I can. Experimenting with different gluten-free flours, adding different starches, etc. has led me to the conclusion that with this recipe, almost anything goes.

Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is one of the easiest milks to make, is very inexpensive, and best of all, tastes like the tropics. The coconut meat does not have to be soaked overnight, so making coconut milk doesn’t take as much planning as the other nut milks, which is nice if you’ve forgotten you need milk.

Traditional Rice Pudding {gluten-free, with Vegan option}
Lately I’ve become more and more interested in the history of my favourite foods; where they originated, how long they’ve been around, etc. My mother often used to make a delicious baked rice pudding when I was young, so I’ve wanted to find out more about the origins of this dessert. It appears that it

Organic Freshly Squeezed Lemonade
Homemade lemonade tastes so much better than the pre-made canned or bottled kind, and when you make your own, you can adjust the sweetness to exactly how you like it.
