    We are having: Baby Back Ribs with my rub and homemade sweet spicy BBQ sauce Risotto Milanese (saffron) Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Caramelized Shallots and Toasted Hazelnuts

    It has always been one of my favourites. I am so sorry you can no longer have it.

    It works well for ravioli and spaghetti, too. I have not tried lasagne sheets from that recipe yet but that is on my to do list! With pasta this good I think I will have to make it weekly. The bit of freshly-grated nutmeg is very nice. I think fresh nutmeg is extremely underused. Your chicken idea sounds great! In the "Gluten Freen Girl and the Chef...

    We DO have some of that stuff as well as others! No anti grill yet, though, but that is a bit too pricey at many thousands of dollars. I want to make more charcuterie (am doing what I can) and take butchery classes. So, I am looking for a meat grinder et. al. Our kitchen is very big - I teach classes at our house usually. Sometimes at others' homes,...

    That is my favourite show. I know exactly what the chefs are making nearly 100% of the time within seconds as I have much of the same equipment and use fantastic ingredients and know the techniques. I am starting to get into sous vide. I cannot fathom purchasing gluten-free pasta, cakes, cookies, pizza, scones, desserts, bagels, focaccia any longer...

    I understand! I refuse to settle for second best and strongly dislike corn and rice pastas. I know, pretty picky. I've been to Italy at least 10 times and teach culinary classes, including pasta making. This is the best recipe I have tried to date. I use my KitchenAid stand mixer pasta attachments but you do not have to. Last time I pulverized some...

    Keep in mind that there is a high false negative rate in bloodwork (I have read up to 30%). Many people have had negative bloodwork and still feel that they have celiac or gluten intolerance. Not only that but there is a much higher false negative biopsy rate, too. One reason is that far too few biopsies are taken so it is missed. BTW, you can make...

    I'm with you. I've tried bread with psyllium and gelatin with fair results. I've also tried it with psyllium and a gum with better results. Sometimes I've used both xanthan and guar. Many combinations but I know my food science, too. It certainly helps knowing about different ingredients' characteristics, how they interact with other ingredients and...

    I am trying to copy some of our fantastic photos of Croatia but am having problems today...

    This one brings tears to my eyes as it is so close to our house in Istria, Croatia. The song is a folks song about olives, cattle (boskarina), wine, truffles... I am IN LOVE with Croatia and am fiercely proud of it.

    I use my mandoline to slice into fine shoestrings (about 1/4"), drizzle with good olive oil, toss in some fresh rosemary and thyme, sea salt and pepper and roast at high heat (400) for about 25-30 minutes until very crispy. Then I remove from the oven and sprinkle with a finishing salt - am using truffle salt today. I use so many kinds of finishing salt...

    My favourites these days include Croatian artists for several reasons - I am trying to learn Croatian and am enamoured with anything Croatian. This is a cool funky video... My favourite by the same artist... "Proljece" means "Spring".

    Today I am making myself some roasted shoestring sweet potato fries with truffle salt to eat with my roasted carrot hummus and roasted garlic aioli. Will also have hot mulled apple cider.

    My husband is away tonight so I am making: gnocchi with sundried tomato and basil pesto (using toasted walnuts instead of pine nuts) mixed salad with toasted hazelnuts, shaved asparagus, julienned pears, Meyer lemon vinaigrette strawberries with a few drops of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale de Modena

    There definitely is correlation! I have had weak enamel for ages and had no clue why so I just lived with it. On my last check up the dental hygienist informed me my enamel was far stronger and that my teeth were in excellent shape. That was a first. She gave me 9/10 and said she has never given a 10/10 and only a few 9/10 in a year. I was quite pleased...

    So sorry to tell you this but that is not the case. I did not feel the slightest bit ill when I ate gluten. When I pigged out on gluten for nearly four months for my gluten challenge I LOVED it. I had been off gluten several months first. In fact, after eight months being strictly gluten free, I sometimes question my celiac diagnosis. Then I remember...

    Oops - sorry! We do not have kids and I need to be more mindful of posting recipes for those who do. My nearest creme fraiche is 3 hours away so I make my own. Very simple and far cheaper! Open Original Shared Link

    Are you looking for soup ideas other than tomato? If so, I literally have hundreds. Some favourites include: Roasted Pear, Apple and Parsnip with Stilton Roasted Butternut Squash and Maple Syrup with Pepitas Roasted Carrot and Cumin Drizzled with Spiced Oil Spicy Tomato with Blue Cheese Wild Rice with Maple Syrup Watermelon Feta Gazpacho Creamy...

    I know what you mean. When we drive to the city to pick up the tubes it is a 3-hour drive so we stock up. I hope you get a chance to try this soup! Embarassingly simple but the tomato flavour really shines, especially with Roma tomatoes as they are the best variety available in Winter (out of a meagre selection).

    Man, I love making soups! Made a delicious tomato soup last week, actually. SO easy but packed with flavour. When making soups and other things one of my favourite ways to extract flavour is to roast them. I cannot imagine not roasting veg for soup, actually. All I did was split 8 Roma tomatoes lengthwise, tossed in several cloves of garlic, a quartered...

    Often these lessons are painful ones, aren't they? I love that you are using this in a positive way. Get better quickly!

    If you want to, brown gravy is a cinch to make; that is, if you have good chicken (or other) stock. Sometimes a person just has those cravings and fries and gravy really fit!! In addition to potato fries I like to make sweet potato fries, carrot chips, beet chips, parsnip chips...very good with gravy.

    I like it and infuse lots of flavour into it such as bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, mushroom stock, chile pepper stock, veal demi glace, saffron and add crunchy elements to it such as crispy kale leaves or toasted pine nuts (or other nuts). Mushroom duxelles is lovely with it.

    I made Bananas Foster today - it is also intrinsically gluten free.
