Last week I wrote about recapturing cooking-as-leisure in our daily lives. Of course, it’s one thing to issue a call to action, and quite another to actually put it into practice. Here are some tips to start to make some inroads: 1. Designate one night per week for a special meal: Maybe it’s Friday night […]
Happy St. Nicholas Day!
Cooking as Leisure
First-time guests to our house are sometimes surprised to see that we don’t have a formal living room. The owners of this house before us certainly did. That room is prominently located-you walk into it coming in our front door, and it has a large bay window that looks out on the front yard. And […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
The snow’s been flying in Colorado’s Rockies, and we took the kids out to enjoy it last weekend. From our family to yours, we hope you have a very happy and deliciously gluten-free Thanksgiving!
Silvana’s Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Kitchen
Every now and then there comes along a cookbook that changes the way you cook and eat. Many books sit on the shelf as eye candy but are opened seldom; a select few, however, enter the regular rotation and quickly earn splatters of olive oil and batter. Laura Byrne Russell’s wonderful Brassicas was such a book for […]
The Angle of Repose
Here we are, two days before Thanksgiving, and incredibly it’s been more than three months since we’ve published a blog post (on August 22!). It is—I’m almost sure—our longest and most sustained blackout in the six-and-a-half-year history of No Gluten, No Problem. I’m not proud of that. I’m also not sorry about it, though maybe […]
Buckwheat Gnocchi
In yesterday’s post I may have tempered the media’s enthusiasm for the gluten-free dining experience in Italy, but that country remains a rich source of inspiration for delicious gluten-free cuisine. For example, in the cooler, alpine valleys of northern Italy’s Alps, buckwheat often plays a starring role in the agriculture and cuisine. Different valleys each […]
5 Ways the Media Gets Gluten-Free Dining in Italy Wrong
At least twice this summer—first the New York Times in the United States at the end of June, then the Independent in the United Kingdom one week ago—major media outlets have shined a unilaterally positive spotlight on the experience of being a gluten-free diner in Italy. Such praise adds two more voices to the resounding chorus proclaiming Italia the Shangri-la of gluten-free […]
Fruita Double Trail Marathon
About one month after the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse ski mountaineering race, it was time for my second race and first trail running ultramarathon of the season: the Fruita Trail Double Marathon. My still-healing foot was feeling good, not great, but I eagerly looked forward to the race anyway. In 2013 I’d run the single trail […]
Strawberry Balsamic Green Beans
Gratitude. There are many ways to say thank you. Written. Spoken. Gifted. Service. That last one resonates most deeply with us. It is one thing to say thanks—and don’t get me wrong; when appropriate, we certainly do say it—but it’s quite another thing to show gratitude through an act of service. Roughly 24 hours ago as I write these […]
