Chutney is the easiest condiment to make, it’s also the most versatile. Spicy Apple Cranberry Chutney pairs perfectly with cheese & charcuterie boards; on a cold meat sandwich or served alongside a roast or chops. Perfect for Thanksgiving or the festive table. If you can boil water, you can throw together a chutney. If you’re asked […]
French Apple Cake with Almonds is simple to make, demure, unpretentious & heavenly – if a cake can be all those things. It’s buttery, rum flavored & reminds me of an old-fashioned tea cake. Serve it for an afternoon tea or as a dessert with some ice cream or cream. Make it ahead & freeze […]
French Onion Slow Cooked Beef has flavors reminiscent of the much-loved French onion soup. This slow cooked beef can be made ahead for a cozy weeknight meal or cooked on the weekend for a night in with family or friends. Chunks of beef are gently cooked for a couple of hours with caramelized onions, fresh […]
Seed & Nut Loaf is dense, a little sweet, gluten-free loaf, packed with fiber and straddles both the sweet and savory worlds as it’s perfect just with butter to enjoy with a cup of tea or serve it up with some sharp cheddar cheese & other accoutrements such as some sharp cheddar or creamy blue […]
Loaded with delicious fiber by way of nuts, seeds, oats & dried fruit these Trail Mix Cookies are infinitely better than their namesake. Whether you’re craving a snack, an on-the-go quick breakfast or something to have with a cup of tea or coffee while you’re lounging with a good read, these cookies are for you. […]
Pear Ricotta Cake is gluten-free but for everyone, especially around the holidays. It looks pretty, tastes festive and keeps well. Use small, ripe but still a little firm, pears. You can use an apple corer and remove the pears’ cores but or leave them intact. The ricotta makes this cake so moist. It’s a beautiful […]
Pear and Prosciutto Salad is so simple & quick to make. This rustic salad makes a perfect side as part of a holiday menu. I’ve baked the prosciutto so it adds a crunch to the salad but it would be just as lovely with it cold and soft. Feta cheese is a good substitute for […]
While Prosciutto Almond Squash Noodles makes a beautiful autumnal side, it also makes a nutritiously different main served with some steamed sugar snap peas or a green salad. Strands of butternut squash take the place of noodles (or spaghetti) in this delicious one pan meal. Throw everything together on a baking sheet, roast for about […]
Flourless Orange, Ricotta & Almond Cake is a very moist cake that relies on air beaten into the butter mixture & the egg white mixture to help it rise. I’ve given a sauce recipe to serve with the cake but this is optional. The sauce is delicious but the cake is equally as good served […]
Don’t let the few ingredients in this recipe fool you – Creamy Lemon Chicken is boldly flavored thanks to the bright acidity from lemons, a touch of heat from chilies and the pungency of garlic. It is ready in but mere moments making it a perfect weeknight meal. Switch it up and use shrimp and […]
Saying that something is “the best” is bandied about to the point it’s hard to be taken seriously. I rarely use the term although it does score better in an online search, so when I state this is The Best Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread, take comfort in the fact it most certainly is the best – […]
Sticky Sage Roasted Butternut Squash can be served as a side for special holiday meals or alongside a weekend family roast. Golden syrup, the lighter, less intense version of molasses has a wonderful, complex flavor and is worth sourcing it to use in this recipe. It’s also perfect for baking. I buy golden syrup on […]
