Making Yogurt in the Cuisinart Yogurt Maker
UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE RECIPE AT THE END. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE “HOW-TO” Yogurt. I’m a fan. I have this weird yeast imbalance thing that I’ve been dealing with off and on for years, and so for me, that means three important rules …

Gluten-Free, Buckwheat Crêpes
Crêpes. The very word implies elegance, decadence, exoticism. You can instantly picture yourself eating one while strolling along the Seine wearing a beret and gazing at the Eiffel Tower. Crêpes are one of those things you don’t make at home… one of those things you only …
Julia Child’s Apple Tarte Tatin
Find a vegan version of this Apple Tarte Tatin here. This is the stuff dreams are made of. In cooking, sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A few years back, in Greece, I had a Greek Salad. I was on …
