Chickpea-Collard Wraps

In my view, the world can be divided up into 3 kinds of people: those who love tuna salad, those who hate it, and those who used to love it before going vegan. I am in that last category — the kind of tuna salad lover who enjoyed it hot, cold, in casseroles and all of [...]

Adzuki-Millet Cakes

adzuki millet cakes

Like many great things in life, this recipe happened by accident. Well, at least the final product was an accident, as I had originally intended these to be a homemade answer to my Hilary’s Adzuki Bean Burger obsession (am I alone here?). While I wanted to mimic the original burger as much as possible, I also [...]

Hot Spinach Dip

hot spinach dip

What a funny world we live in. One month, we’re showered with every type of diet and detox recipe imaginable (including here on Delectably Free), the next month we’re teased and lured by Super Bowl party recipes for nachos and junk food, only to face the sweets and chocolate onslaught that is Valentine’s Day. No wonder we’re [...]

Zucchini Potato Latkes

potato latkes

So, I don’t know what inspired me to make latkes, of all things, with the 18 million pounds of potatoes I’ve stocked up in my quest to recreate all of my favorite (and, oh, there were many) potato dishes in Spain. Latkes were certainly not on that list. Nor do I have any particular story to [...]

Blistered Shishito Peppers

My return to New York seems to have been plagued by a rough patch in the recipe department. While the gazpacho was a surprise first-time success and the grilled plums an easy, satisfying treat, the rest of our meals have been marked by a litany of culinary mistakes. Not mistakes of the “not-what-I-intended-but-maybe-even-better” kind, but rather [...]

Walnut Beet Dip

walnut beet dip

This recipe was inspired by a recipe from Spain: A Culinary Road Trip, which Gennaro bought for me a few years ago after witnessing my sheer excitement every time Spain: On The Road Again (the PBS show with Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow) was on T.V. In anticipation of a honeymoon in Barcelona, I’ve been re-exporing [...]

Spinach Cashew Spread

cashew spinach spread

I got the idea to do a spinach cashew spread from one of my favorite blogs, Raw Mazing. While I somewhat veered from the original recipe, I tried my best to keep the proportions similar, as I had been having a rough day of trial-and-error with my recipes. A failed strawberry clafoutis. A failed gluten-free [...]

Falafel

felafel

First things first. Mom.  I know no one else who gives more of herself and asks so little in return, is able to laugh at the small things, and care deeply about the big things. The only reason I was able to turn my food allergy “lemons” into delectably free lemonade was because I [...]

Caramelized Onion and Shiitake Pizza

shiitake pizza

It happens. You think you’re doing great, happily enjoying your new gluten-free life. You feel better. You might even look better. You start even saying things like “I don’t even miss pizza.” And then it happens. You see someone walking past you on the street, or walking into work from lunch, holding a big, fat, cheesy [...]

Burrito-style Fresh Rolls

burrito fresh rolls

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. Any gluten-intolerant Mexican food fanatic like myself would understand why. You see, back in my college days, there were two kinds of people. There were Pancheros people, and there were Big Ten Burrito people. Where you fell in the divide could very well dictate who you went [...]
