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

Polenta, Tomato and Mozzarella “Sandwiches”
Lunch always seems to be the mystery meal of the day; I usually don’t know what I’m going to have until I see something in the fridge that catches my eye. Today I spied some packaged polenta, so I thought slices of crispy fried polenta topped with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella would be tasty, sort

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

Cashew Pulp Crackers {gluten-free}
I hate to throw anything useful away, and every time I make nut milk, I always think there must be something that could be made with the pulp that’s leftover, besides just drying it out and saving it as flour. As luck would have it, I recently came across a recipe for Rosemary Raisin Almond

Mediterranean-Style Potato Stew
I wanted something with Mediterranean flavours the other night, something with salty Kalamata olives, so I made this fast and easy veggie stew (sorry the photo isn’t the greatest, I almost forgot to take one). I started with a base of tomatoes and potatoes, seasoned with dill, and then added zucchini, because that’s what I had

Individual Mini Spelt Pizzas
These little pizzas are crispy, chewy and easy to whip up for a weekend lunch. The whole grain spelt flour makes them a bit healthier, and they can be made on any cookie sheet (or pizza stone, if you have one). I used my own tomato sauce recipe on the crust, and simple sliced tomatoes,

Asian-Style Noodles with Veggies
I was craving something with fresh, crunchy veggies and a salty broth for supper, so I thought an Asian style noodle bowl would hit the spot. I happened to have some miso paste in the fridge, so I made my broth base with that, and used some fresh, crunchy veggies: snap peas, zucchini and red

English Muffins
English muffins, toasted crispy with lots of butter… Besides just being delicious, another thing I like about muffins is their versatility of being an anytime food: for breakfast with jam, for brunch, lunch or supper as Eggs Benedict, and also as a night-time snack. Definitely a handy thing to have ready in the freezer.

Old-Fashioned Stew
The cooler days and scent of fall in the air has me craving warm, comforting dishes, like stew. I was curious about the origins of what we think of as “stew”, as I’m sure this differs from place to place and family to family. While researching the origins of the usual ingredients of stews, typically
