Learning how to make clotted cream using the oven method is incredibly simple and yields a lovely, luxurious cream to spread on English muffins with a little jam.
These breakfast buns were inspired by Arizmendi Bakery’s “Chocolate Things,” large brioche rolls filled with chocolate. You’ll never in a million years guess they’re gluten free!

Last week, Charmian Christie and I decided to swap guest posts for Summer Fest. Charmian wrote a wonderful post about how to make peach ice cream, which contains a recipe for the loveliest, dreamiest peach ice cream I’ve ever had. Seriously, you have to try this stuff. My post for Christie’s Corner talks about making [...]
If you want to know how to make peach jam, this easy variation is a great recipe to get your started. Jam recipes are an easy way to make preserves to keep fresh fruit through the winter. Peaches and elderberries go very well together!
The only thing that can make a garlic mashed potatoes recipe better is rosemary. Oh, and bacon (because doesn’t bacon turn everything up to eleven?). I love bacon. For health reasons I try not to eat it often, but occasionally I’ll make a recipe that requires bacon and I’ll find half a pound of the [...]
I’m Italian and my grandma never made me Italian hazelnut cookies! No fair! A few weeks ago I was flipping through the newest issue of EatingWell and came upon an article by an author whose father grew up in the Piedmont region of Italy. Also an Italian longing for connection to my roots, I was [...]
Here’s another wonderful autumn dish, herbes de provence roasted potatoes and zucchini.

Unfortunately many greens, such as kale, are not exactly palatable to most people, making it difficult to get folks to eat an adequate amount. While [...]
I sure as hell do. I grew up on the stuff and my grandma’s banana bread was the most amazing ever. Since I discovered my gluten allergy, I thought I’d never again experience the dense, tender slices that I love so much. Then I discovered Breads from Anna, formerly Gluten Evolution. Talk about a treasure [...]
(Or wherever your preferred deity happens to reside) I recently picked up a bag of Namaste Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix, which is vegan by default unless you add eggs. Off the shelf, the mix contains sweet brown rice flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, rice milk powder, cream of tartar, xanthan gum, baking soda, [...]
