It’s hard enough to be gluten-free but throw in dairy-free too and it can be hard to convert recipes or find substitutes. I’ve been looking for a good gluten-free noodle to use for casseroles but had not found one until I came across Mrs Glee’s Crazy Noodles. The first thing I pictured was a tuna […]
Amy’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend
When I started my adventure in gluten-free baking, one thing that stressed me out was the amount of flours in a recipe. It was so off-putting, sometimes I did not want to bake. I was soon rescued by a friend, Amy Andrews of Ripe Food and Wine, who gave me her recipe for a flour blend that she […]

A Book is Born!
I have the pleasure to announce the birth of…my cookbook, The Warm Kitchen! I have two children and I remember how I felt during pregnancy, labor and birth. In the beginning I was enthusiastic but of course, it felt very long and drawn out. When my water broke with my first child, I was so […]
How to make Arepas
Arepas (ah-ray-pahs) are a corn pocket which can be found on many street corners in Venezuela. I first became familiar with them when I met Adriana Lopez Vermut from Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen at the Gluten-Free Spree in San Francisco in 2009. At the time, she only had a location in Napa’s Oxbow Market. Now, there are […]
