Late August is a cooking gardener's favorite time of year; green beans, zucchini, tomatoes and cukes are resplendent and anxious to cross the kitchen threshold. Before kiddos, I was an avid home gardener and maybe someday, I will grow vegetables again but for now I am quite satisfied shopping at farmer's markets. Got cukes? Make […]
No, I have not lost mind mind (or the salad recipes), I just thought I would offer a glimpse inside my kitchen. I have spent the week working on test shots of the recipes that might be the best for the cover of Everyday Gluten-Free Slow Cooking (to be published this November by Sterling). It […]
