Around the World: Italian cuisine

Amidst coronavirus, I’m sticking to what I – and a lot of other people – love most: cooking and baking. One challenge I’ve presented to myself is to make a dish (or dishes) of international cuisines every week, learn some words from the language, and e-visit some of the country’s landmarks. Some of these dishes… Continue reading Around the World: Italian cuisine

3-ingredient cinnamon apple wedge treats (GF + V)

For a gluten-free and dairy-free gal in college, simple, feel-good desserts can seem like a distant memory. Sometimes, I just want something sweet that’s not chocolate. Luckily, my mom taught me this super easy recipe that she learned when she was my age. It checks the box on desserts and is made with ingredients that… Continue reading 3-ingredient cinnamon apple wedge treats (GF + V)

Peanut oat protein shake (GF + V)

My brother is very athletic, and after getting back from practices at 10 PM, he’s particularly hungry. So, what is he to eat? After visiting Deliciously Ella in London, we tasted a delicious peanut butter oat smoothie. Naturally, I had to recreate it.

Creamy Tiramisu Cups (GF + V)

What better way to ring in the new year than with some coffee? And not just plain coffee, but the ultimate coffee dessert: tiramisu. Fun fact: in Italian “tiramisu” means “pick me up.” But these aren’t your ordinary tiramisu with sugar-crusted lady fingers, and marscapone cheese.

Traditional Sicilian Cubbaita (GF + DF)

Every Christmas, two things will always be on our table: Sicilian sciacce and cubbaita. What is cubbaita, you may ask? Cubbaita is a toasted sesame, almonds, and honey Sicilian brittle with hints of orange. It was originally an Arab specialty that Sicilians have since adopted. Like the making and slicing of sciacce, cubba’ita is serious… Continue reading Traditional Sicilian Cubbaita (GF + DF)

Sicilian Pistachio Cake (GF + DF)

Sicilian summers are known for their blazing temperatures. Yet, despite this, Sicilians manage to cook hours on end in this weather. And for the most part without air conditioning. I’m not at their endurance level, so when there was a cool day, I jumped on the opportunity to bake – I hadn’t done so in… Continue reading Sicilian Pistachio Cake (GF + DF)

Nut Butter Cookies (GF + DF)

I’ve been on a chocolate chip cookie craze lately. And these nut butter cookies only have 6 ingredients: sweetened almond butter, egg, gluten-free flour, chocolate chip cookies, baking powder, and salt.

The Traveling Banana Bread (GF + V)

It’s only taken me 17 years, but I have finally tried – and fallen in love with – banana bread. This is the banana bread that makes me go bananas (pardon my pun) 🙂 I love making banana bread because it’s quick to make and low in added sugar; you get the satisfaction of a… Continue reading The Traveling Banana Bread (GF + V)

Quintessentially British: Claridge’s Scones made GF and DF! (Vegan option)

I LOVE scones. I’ve already made date walnut scones (gf + v) for the royal wedding last May, and they were absolutely scrumptious. But after having experienced my first afternoon tea (and watching way too much of the Great British Bake Off), I thought it was time I’d try baking traditional British scones.
