Savory Sauteéd Oat Cakes

Makes : 4 servings (16 oat cakes) | Appetizers/Snacks , Main Dishes Vegetarian

I love oats. Their flavor conveys a mild earthy sweetness with a chewy, satisfying texture, versatile enough to star in both sweet and savory dishes. Oats are naturally gluten free, yet more often than not they’re cross-contaminated during processing or storage. I kind of thought this was bunk; I mean how cross-contaminated could they possibly be? But as it turns out, I always react poorly when I eat regular oats, showing the exact same symptoms I have when I ingest gluten. Since I’m so sensitive, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to tolerate certified gluten-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 […]

Shaved Fennel and Parsley Salad

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

I’m having trouble getting back to work this week. After two weeks of holiday cheer, not to mention a month filled with parties and events, it’s hard to saddle up back at the desk. Staying gluten free over the holidays wasn’t much of a problem, but I always feel a bit off my game after so many heavy meals and a little more meat (and sugar) than usual. I welcome the new year with a tinge of excitement over getting healthier foods back on our table. One easy way to do this is by pulling […]

Chocolate Espresso Chewies

Makes : about 36 cookies | Desserts Dairy Free , Vegetarian

For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite holiday activities has always been the “cookie exchange”. There’s something so festive about leaving the house armed with a batch of cookies and returning with a dozen different types. (Not to mention the benefit to a self-admitted non-baker such as myself: bake one kind, enjoy many!) My daughter (then 5), an avid cookie lover, thought this idea was genius, so a few years ago we started hosting an annual cookie exchange for all the girls in her class and their moms. The girls decorate […]

Roasted Mushroom Salad with Lemon-Chive Vinaigrette

Makes : 4 to 6 servings | Salads/Sides Vegetarian

In the scheme of things, I realize a recipe for “salad” isn’t akin to discovering a new star. Personally, I’ve never been overly enthused by salad since it’s so frequently an afterthought. There’s something so not special about dumping one of those bags of wilted, sopping wet greens into a bowl and topping it with a bottled mix of stale herbs and rancid oil. But this salad–delicate greens tossed with roasted mushrooms, shavings of cheese, and a simple lemon-chive vinaigrette–is special. It’s also easy to make. My original inspiration came from a mound of gorgeous […]

Harvest Granola

Makes : about 6 cups | Appetizers/Snacks , Breakfast/Brunch Dairy Free , Vegetarian

I’m a big fan of eating savory foods for breakfast. And by savory I mean “this could be dinner” more than “how about some bacon and eggs”. It probably started around the time I went gluten free and realized I needed to stop munching on scones, bagels, muffins, pancakes, waffles and other sweet treats for breakfast. (I’ve since discovered fabulous gluten-free recipes for these things, of course.) My replacement for the sweets often revolved around eating dinner leftovers. Breakfast became a plate full of reheated vegetables, maybe some chicken or rice, a few slices of […]
