Although the number of gluten-free commercial offerings is expanding daily, I am sorry to say they are quite often loaded with trashy worthless ingredients, and not terribly tasty, which makes gluten-free eating an unhealthy and uninspiring experience, defeating the whole purpose.

Italian flavors at their best! Each dish is a meal in its own right. Except for the dessert, all dishes are gluten-free I have a pretty fantastic egg-free take on the delicious but prohibitively egg yolk-rich classic zabaglione. I’ll be demonstrating: Chicken cacciatore Herb Italian bean soup Panzanella with mock shrimp Mille-feuille with zabaglione and [...]

A meal onto itself, a wonderful comfort food. All you need to round it out is some good bread and salad. All of you avoiding red meat, use a turkey thigh. A word about Halbah, which is the trademark ingredient of Yemenite cooking, and which gives the soup its name: If you believe that unappealing [...]

Every time I go to Basil, I -not so- discreetly eye what everyone seated next to me – and even a little further: Foodies, what do you expect?- is having.
