This heat wave has been brutal. In New York, you can’t escape the heat. It’s everywhere! On the train you take to work, in the bodega where you buy your gatorade, even the moment you step outside your apartment, you begin to melt. Summers like these require all sorts of rituals : three cold showers a…
I’m about to make three very bold statements: one, bacon is under-used. Two, apples are the best fruit to cook with. And three, pancakes are underrated. The three of these smashed into each other and made my breakfast-for-dinner last night (and tonight!): gluten-free pancakes studded with crispy bacon and fresh apples, topped with melted Vermont…
Do you know how hard it is to give up cookies? Like, so hard. With an allergy to both nuts (those little buggers will kill me) and a gluten intolerance, it renders any craving for pastries and cookies near impossible. BUT. I’ve had some downtime, and now I bring to you my recipe for nut-free,…
Chinese food that I can actually eat! With allergies to treenuts, soy and gluten, I often find myself watching everyone else devour their General Tso’s while I sip on diet Pepsi. Not anymore, thank God. I made…beef ribs, baked in a home-made barbecue sauce until super-tender, paired with egg-drop & rice noodle soup.

This photo does not do this dish any justice! Brown rice spaghetti, tossed with a most perfect red sauce, blended with my favorite mix of herbs and spices. Joining the team are spinach, fresh garlic, caramelized onions, cannellini beans and grilled balsamic skirt steak. Kinda weird, but kinda perfect, right?
Black beans, onions, spices and red peppers served over a fried-til-cripsy corn tortilla, with elote loco on the side, and garnished with a huge helping of chopped avocado-tomato salad. Served with plenty of lime!
My perfect memorial day brunch. Gluten-free French toast, soaked in molasses and a blend of spices, fried to perfection, topped with fresh-blueberry infused maple syrup. Sits pretty with a fried egg and chicken mango sausage hash.
A mix of fresh summer vegetables, including a variety of squash, snow pods, onions and peppers, stir-fried with rice noodles and soy-free soy sauce.
I made soy-free soy sauce! And let me tell you— it works tablespoon for tablespoon just like regular soy sauce. I have a terrible allergy to soy myself, so I’ve missed Asian food like crazy. Tonight I had stir-fry for the first time in a year. This recipe should leave you with more than enough…
