Christmas
If you’re looking for gluten-free holiday recipes for your Christmas table, I have some cozy main courses that are perfect for a celebration. You can keep things simple and elegant with chicken with kalamata olives or for a smaller gathering go with a comforting dairy-free fish pie. For vegetarians, I love making a big batch of wild mushroom risotto.
Finally, if like me, you celebrate “Jewish Christmas” try these gluten-free Chinese recipes: Gluten-free mongolian beef, vegetarian hot and sour soup or gluten-free sesame chicken.

Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein with Shitakes and Bok Choy (Gluten-Free)
It’s fairly well documented that I have a serious Thai takeout addiction.

Chinese Stir Fry Green Beans with Pork, Ginger and Chiles
The irony of being a private chef is that the cooking I do for others is often the biggest thing that gets in the way of the cooking I do for myself.
