I like experimenting and reading cookbooks and food blogs…so fun!
This week, for example, we made a watermelon salad – a mix of sweet, spice, and salt that was quite nice. We found the recipe in the Free Press – and we tried the blended watermelon drink from the same edition for our guests on Friday. I also baked a banana cream pie for my Dad's birthday - delicious! (not gluten free though - if you're going to bake pie, may as well go all the way..)
I also (usually) enjoy the challenge of looking for ideas that are gluten free and don’t involve trying to replicate a wheat dish with 10 different starches and other suspect ingredients. We made a gluten free “pizza”with a mashed cauliflower base recently (another recipe we served on Friday) that turned out quite well. It's not really pizza, but it's still pretty tasty.

Yes, it's true; in the moment, it doesn't seem like you're having that much fun. But I know, in the end, you do like it.
The 'pizza' is probably the best gluten-free variety I've had; it doesn't have that weird after-taste that gluten-free doughs have, or a nutty soy flavour that's overpowering. It's actually quite good indeed, but certainly won't match the real thing.
The dip was really good! And I usually like to eat my tortilla chips straight-up, but I'd definitely go for this dip again. Let's do it in our wide champagne glasses next time!
Sometimes it's fine though - depends on how complicated a dish I've picked.
I looked at those, but they didn't seem big enough! We'd have had to have 3 each. But if we were doing it for a party and not as a main course, it could work.
