Posted on March 15, 2018 by Burnt My Fingers

This salad was served as a weekend lunch in my college dining hall, when staffing was light and most students were too hungover to eat. Accompanying it were sausage links and applesauce, a toothsome and vaguely middle-European meal. Serves 4. … Continue reading →

Recipe: Gluten-Free Paleo Eggplant Parmigiana

Posted on February 13, 2018 by Burnt My Fingers

Eggplant parm as it’s made in Italy does not include breadcrumbs, so it’s naturally paleo-friendly and gluten-free. I’ve also included an option using a coating of almond flour to approximate the breadcrumb effect, which is a modification created in American … Continue reading →

Posted on January 9, 2018 by Burnt My Fingers

My mother loved the lemon bars from Putnam Market in Saratoga Springs, so in honor of her 100th birthday I whipped up a close approximation based on a recipe from Alice Medrich. These are really easy to make and very, … Continue reading →

Recipe: Pickled Turnips Mediterranean-style

Posted on January 4, 2018 by Burnt My Fingers

The pickled turnips at Falafel’s Drive-In in Cupertino, CA were so good I’d order extras on the side. Here’s my re-creation, with help from the Jerusalem cookbook. (I’ve tweaked Ottolenghi’s recipe which I feel is not sour enough.) A good … Continue reading →
