Epicurious No-knead Bread This is the third no-knead bread recipe I’ve tried in the last two months, and I have to say: OH, MY! The bottom crust is a little hard (rather than chewy) but the taste is marvelous, and the texture is perfection itself. I started this last night, so it could ferment for…
Rosemary Olive Oil Bread This morning I got up entirely too early, and decided to make a different bread from my usual round of baguettes, boule, rye, and no-knead white bread. After a little internet research, I found this easy-but-scrumptious-sounding recipe from Epicurious that made me, well… curious. It was well worth the time and…
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble Rhubarb Crumble is one of the few desserts – well, foods really – that my friend Michael remembers with pleasure from his Welsh childhood. His mother used to make it with the traditional concrete-like pastry topping; I make it with a tender gluten-free pastry, and Michael is kind enough to enjoy it anyway! …

For this simple drop-shoulder pullover with shawl collar, I used KnitPicks Peruvian (1.75oz/50g = 110 yards), with assorted accent yarns in the…
Orange Ginger Biscuits These are a cross between Janine’s Gingersnaps and Orange Freezer Cookies, for which the recipes can also be found on this site. They go brilliantly with a cup of English tea. I adjusted the recipe to make it gluten-free and suggest substitutions so that it can be vegan as well. Experiment as…
No-knead, Gluten-free Round French Loaf Adapted from https://www.jennycancook.com/no-knead-bread-solutions/ I always prefer to avoid gluten, because wheat tends to make me feel bloated. Although I love making bread, I have to give most of it away. This amazingly easy gluten-free recipe gives great results: lovely crust, wonderful texture, and excellent flavor — plus (if any is…
Oh, boy — freshly baked BAGUETTES! I recently finished reading 25 Loaves by William Alexander, and it inspired me to start making bread for the first time in 40 years. (The premise of the book is that Bill wants to replicate the perfect French country loaf, or boule, and so commits to making bread every…
Shawl Collar Pullover For this simple drop-shoulder pullover with shawl collar, I used KnitPicks Peruvian yarn for the green and black sweater (1.75oz/50g = 110 yards) or Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted acrylic yarn, 4.5oz/127.5g = 277 yards, for the purple and silver one — with Opal Shawl in a Ball as the…
