Tamar is a favorite of mine.  I really started appreciating her when I discovered this cookbook which is completely gluten-free other than the matzah.  While Passover is an easier time to eat on a gluten-free diet, any dish with matzah in it does not qualify.  That includes delicious dishes such as Matzah Balls (Kneidlach), Matzah Kugel  and Matzah Brei.  I can't say that we missed them and with a bunch of good Pesach cook books, I had more than enough recipes to make and to love.
 
A Taste of Tradition is the one, I used the most, and liked the most.  Knowing every recipe was acceptable for my husband, allowed me to drool over all the beautiful photos, knowing I could duplicate the dishes. 
 

 .This photo is from the book.  I did not take many photos during the hustle and bustle of cooking.  Rarely, do I use a photo from the book but I do want you to see how beautifully, these dishes, can be set up.

Orange Chicken

Ingredients:

1 - 1/2 chicken, skinned and cut up  
4 chicken cutlets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 stalks celery, diced
3 large carrots, sliced into rounds
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup dry or semi-dry white wine

Method:

Saute onions  in olive oil until clear.

Place half of them in the bottom of a casserole.

Place the chicken pieces on top of the onion mixture and sprinkle them liberally with half of the paprika and pepper. 

Add the remaining onions  to the top of the chicken, together with the remaining vegetables.

 Pour the orange juice and wine over all. Let this marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight before cooking.  

Add spices and bake at 350 °F  for about 20 minutes.

 Eat and enjoy,

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
