This recipe is the ultimate in sog-free lasagna, not to mention gluten-free and dairy-free. It is jam-packed with garden-fresh vegetables and some brined olives and artichokes for extra flavor. Make it vegetarian (or not), and serve up dinner for a crowd or have lunchtime leftovers.

Gluten-free/dairy-free Car Camping and the Next Day Frittata
Several years ago, our camp food was tasty in a starchy and cheesy kind of way. These days, our campfood uses gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients, but is all the more flavorful and easy to cook – like the next day frittata in this post.
Gluten-free Pasta with Fresh Kale and Tomatoes
I bought some kale the other day thinking I would make soup out of it. While it still feels like winter where I live, it is June and a light pasta dish sounded like a better way to use these lovely greens.

My first bowl of spaghetti carbonara was eaten amongst friends in a compact student dorm in Eastern Finland. The chef was a British forestry student with a penchant for birding.

Pig lips – a vehicle for the divine flavor of chorizo
Me: “I’d like your red pepper and chorizo tacos, please. Do they have cheese on them?” Waiter: “No, they’re vegan; we use chorizo made from soy. And, what would you like on the side?

There are many ways to skin a cat
OK, no cat-skinning, just the need find an alternative way to deal with a tricky bulb. It’s Iron Chef night. This evening’s ingredient is the now in-season artichoke, a vegetable with which I have very little experience.
