Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread: Happy St. Paddy’s Day
I love Irish soda bread’s dense, hearty texture. I’d never tried to make bread of any kind before but March is turning into a month of many firsts (see post about 1st pie). There are tons of GF friendly soda bread recipes out there. I went with the one from MNN.com because it’s clearly written […]
St. Paddy’s Day Corned Beef: The Traditional Non-Traditional Meat
St Paddy’s Day is officially tomorrow March 17th. In the States certain foods have become synonymous with the holiday including corned beef. As if often the case, many traditions arise from practicality. According to this Smithsonian article, corned beef was never actually a popular meat in Ireland itself. In fact for generations, cows, not unlike […]
Strawberry Pie Recipe (Gluten Free, Vegan) – National Pi Day / My First Pie
I don’t normally post twice in a day but it is National Pi Day so hopefully it’s excused. I’ve never cooked a pie from scratch before, let alone a gluten free, vegan one. My girlfriend though just finished reading “Making Piece” by Beth Howard. The book is about a woman who suddenly loses her husband. […]
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 […]
Food Song of the Month: Newbeats “Bread and Butter”
The classic song “Bread and Butter” by the Newbeats always puts a smile on my face. In seeing the video, do you expect that voice from lead singer Larry Henley? This, the Shreveport trio’s best known song, was released in 1964 reaching #2 on the billboard charts in the U.S.
Collard Greens Recipe
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! If leafy greens were like an 80s movie, kale would be the rich kids named Thad, Chaz and Victoria. Collards would be like working class Lloyd Dobler. I’ll always have a soft spot for them because it reminds me of living in Tennessee, Southern Cooking and Soul Food. Beyond […]
RoodonFood Recipes: Indian Turnips (Shalgam)
Happy Diwali and Kali Puja everyone. I wanted to share a new favorite recipe with you. It’s a slight variation of classic Indian turnips (Shalgam/Shalgam-er Torkari). My family members aren’t big fans so it was unfamiliar to me until I mistakenly got them at the legendary Punjabi deli. Raw turnips are naturally acidic and peppery […]
Snack #8: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia
Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia, are we starting to get serious? This makes twice in a row I bought you over plain jane Bhujia at the legendary Punjabi Deli. Your flavor is extremely different. You have the familiar potato flavor profile but along with it you get a hint of mint (mint powder) and a pleasant citrus […]
Updated: Unnecessary Liveblogging – Spoonbread is done
Update: Please see before and after pictures below. Spoonbread is not the most photo friendly food but it was delicious. It works well with baked beans because it’s fun to breakup and add into the sauce.It’s also covertly a desert since our version was on the sweet side. We made a few modifications from the […]
Unnecessary Liveblogging: Spoonbread is forthcoming…..this is very exciting
The spoonbread will be ready in around 30 minutes and I’m super excited. I don’t know much about baking and am a cornbread novice. (Not counting a delicious Chi-Chi’s Sweet Corn Cake packet from the grocery. I can’t find a link to the product itself so that is a copycat link). Yesterday I mentioned on […]
