This fall I did two brunch classes at Haven’s Kitchen back to back. Twelve students is always a lot to juggle, so for brunch I felt it was even more important to choose stress-free recipes that I would ordinarily recommend for large groups. You don’t ...

Passover
Putting together your seder table is one of the only times it actually pays to be gluten-free! I have tons of unleavened favorites for you to serve your family and enjoy all week long. This collection of Passover recipes is sure to delight!
For the celebration, this passover brisket recipe has been in my family for generations and is truly the best. For the non-red meat eaters this harissa sheet pan salmon is a stunner and super easy, as is kalamata olive chicken. You’ll also find lots of gluten-free desserts that fit the bit, including these flourless peanut butter cookies which are always a winner!
Swiss Chard Gratin

Mashed Turnips Recipe with Miso Butter
Turnips are not my favorite vegetable. They’re a little bit too watery and bitter for my palette. But every year when Food Network Fall Fest turnip week rolls around, I try to find ways to love them.

Gluten-Free Cheesecake Recipe with Fresh Figs and Honey

Kale and Avocado Salad with Cranberries, and Pepitas
When people ask me what I do for a living, sometimes I’ll say: oh, you know, just saving the world, one kale salad recipe at a time. I’m only half kidding. Kale has become such a trendy vegetable. It’s one of those things I know will almost always ... Continue Reading about Kale and Avocado Salad with Cranberries, and Pepitas
Grilled Eggplant Recipe with Sumac, Capers, and Mint
When I got back from Spain last week, all I wanted to eat were vegetables. Now, don’t get me wrong - I couldn’t get enough of Basque cooking. And for the most part, it was fairly healthy.

Gluten-Free Strawberry Cookies with Coconut
When I got diagnosed with my gluten-allergy over two years ago, I don’t know what I would have done without the blogosphere. I’m not much of a baker to begin with.

Sweet Pea and Green Onion Soup
There’s no better sign that you’re getting older, or that you’ve hit the crack pipe one too many times, than when you start to lose your teeth. I’m referring to my parents, of course. And the jury is still out on whether both of those criteria ... Continue Reading about Sweet Pea and Green Onion Soup
Chicken Paillard with Chopped Salad Nicoise
When I was around 4 years old, my parents moved us to Paris. We weren’t there long, but if I’m connecting the dots, Steve Jobs-style, I would be remiss to discount the experience as anything less than an essential stepping stone in my food journey. I ...

White Wine Braised Artichokes with Thyme
I grew up eating whole artichokes with homemade mayo for dipping. These were a treat, something my mother and I would share or, when I was big enough, eat side by side.

Meatless Monday: Savoy Cabbage Slaw with Sumac, Yogurt, and Mint

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Rosemary
It's become well known here that I have a bit of a fry problem. But when I'm cooking for myself, I try to avoid French fries in a way that I never can when faced with them on a restaurant menu.

Roasted Cauliflower and Fennel Salad with Endive and Radicchio
When my mom is away and my dad is working long hours, the apartment tends to delve into a sad state of bachelordom.

Turnip Hash with Basil Vinaigrette

Kale Salad with Bagna Cauda Vinaigrette
