Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe
I’d intended to post this up just before the Superbowl but better late than never. This recipe is adapted from Cooking for Isaiah by Silvana Nardone, a great Gluten Free and Dairy Free cook book. After a couple of modifications, this flour mix browns decently and gets a nice hearty flavor. We also seasoned the […]
Balaji Wafers, Magic Masala Flavor Review (Gluten Free, Vegan Snack)
These Balaji “wafers” were picked up at Patel Brothers in Jackson Heights for $1.49. The wafers are actually potato chips (I wasn’t aware the words are used interchangeably). The flavor, masala munch is delicious. The ingredients contain no gluten and have a splendid balance of sweet and sour owed largely to the sugar, chilly powder […]

Gluten Free Vegan Funfetti Cake with Frosting (Hodgson Mill)
For my birthday I wanted funfetti cake. Already a fan of Hodgson Mills cornbread, we decided to give the gluten free yellow cake mix a try.

Ghoogni, an easy Indian snack with chickpeas (Gluten Free, Vegan)
Ghoogi is something we’d eat often as children. It’s a healthy, inexpensive snack that’s vegan and gluten free to boot.

Happy Superbowl Sunday. What’s for Dinner?
Huzzah! I’m not a big fan of football in general but it’s difficult to not get excited for the Superbowl. It’s once a year. It’s the biggest TV event in the country. It’s the inevitable water cooler conversation tomorrow. But more important than all that is the food eaten before and during the game. As […]

This Bengali dish reminds me of lunch with family. A common weekend lunch might include cholar dal, aloo torkari, tomato chutney and lucchis. The chana dal used in cholar dal is a little larger than most lentils and are occasionally referred to as “Bengal Gram” in recipes. They bear a strong resemblance to yellow split […]
