Baked Oatmeal with Cinnamon Rhubarb

Makes : 4 servings | Breakfast/Brunch Dairy Free

As we edge closer to the end of the spring rhubarb bumper crop, I invent ways to get my fix before the season fades away. My latest brainstorm hit while flipping through the pages of Heidi Swanson’s fabulous book, Super Natural Every Day, where she layers oats with bananas and blueberries in a unique breakfast casserole. I’ve been bored with my oatmeal lately, so what better way to wake my taste buds than with tart and tangy rhubarb? And so I set out to create a gluten- and dairy-free version. Start off by combining certified […]

Chicha Morada

Makes : about 3 quarts | Beverages Dairy Free , Vegan

Don’t be mad at me. How could I possibly make you mad, you ask? Because I’m going to tempt you with this deeply flavorful, fruity and exotic Peruvian beverage called Chicha Morada. So what’s the problem? Well, Chicha Morada is made from purple corn. The drink gets its gorgeous, rich color (along with a healthy dose of anti-inflammatory anthocyanins) from ears of dried purple corn-on-the-cob. And thus the problem: sourcing dried purple corn. I generally avoid calling for hard-to-find ingredients because I want you to spend your time cooking, not shopping. But in rare instances (such […]

Tropical Rice Salad

Makes : 4 to 6 servings | Salads/Sides Dairy Free , Vegan , Vegetarian

For those who prefer their grains processed and pulverized (think white bread), the mandate to “eat more whole grains” leaves many home cooks at a loss. But incorporating these foods into your daily routine can actually be quite simple — and fun. One of the easiest ways to introduce whole grains (grasses and seeds, too) into your repertoire: salads. Gluten-free salads made from rice, quinoa, buckwheat, wild rice, millet or even lentils and beans prove successful not only as side dishes but often as light main courses as well. In the case of this colorful rice […]

Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry

Makes : 4 servings | Main Dishes Dairy Free

I’m packing my bags for the Gluten & Allergen Free Expo in Chicago, where I’ll be doing a demo featuring gluten-free Asian cooking. (This is the first time I’m traveling with knives. Can’t wait to see how that turns out!) When I teach these types of classes, I generally have two goals in mind: teaching people how to make the foods they really miss (pot stickers) and convincing the audience that cooking Asian food at home is actually fun. I know it can seem intimidating, but if you keep a few pantry staples on-hand (wheat-free […]

Chinese Radish Cake

Makes : about 50 1-inch cubes | Appetizers/Snacks Dairy Free , Vegetarian

In honor of the Chinese New Year, I’ve been at the stove creating several new gluten-free Asian recipes. Since the release of The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen last fall, I backed off developing Asian recipes for a while, mostly to give my kids a break. (Ask any cookbook author what she’s currently working on and you’ll know what her family doesn’t want to see again for a year!) Of all the dishes I’ve been tinkering with, my favorite is this Chinese Radish Cake. Chinese Radish Cake, also known as Turnip Cake or Law Bok Gow, isn’t a […]

Red Curry Soup with Chicken and Rice Noodles

Makes : 4 servings | Soups/Stews Dairy Free , Soups/Stews

The thermostat inside my house currently reads a very chilly 58°. A winter storm knocked out our power last night, and 12 hours later it’s still not back. Sleeping wasn’t so bad; we bundled up with extra blankets and got a little cuddly, but once the sun came up this morning we were at a loss. My daughter and I passed some time with a rousing game of sevens, followed by a few hands of “go fish”. My son had absolutely no idea how to occupy himself without electronics during the two-hour delay before school […]
