David and I just got back from New Zealand where he was invited to give the keynote address at the "Food not Nutrients" symposium at the New Zealand Nutrition Foundation, directed by Dr Elaine Rush, Professor of Nutrition at Auckland University of technology. Elaine was also our hostess and now friend, along with her delightful husband Michael. David spoke about the need to ... Read More »
Apple Cinnamon Smoothie
If you happen to have some Simply Cinnamon Apples ready in your fridge (I always do), you have to try this smoothie! Cinnamon is definitely a spice to keep in your pantry as it confers great health benefits (You can read more about it here) and of course we all know about having that apple a day....what a combination and OH MY GOODNESS-what a satisfying autumn treat! ...

Creamy Farro White Bean Risotto
Farro is a whole grain that has long been used in Meditarreanean cooking. Its nutty richness blends beautifully with the white wine and small beans in this simple risotto and the addition of organic soy milk, along with coconut milk gives it a rich creaminess (but no worries, you won't taste the coconut flavor at all!). I have made this risotto with the same amount of short ... Read More »
Halibut in Wine Tomato Broth
So simple and easy, so full of flavor and so beautiful on the dinner table! It's a "throw"-everything-in-a-pan-and-just-bake-right-before-your-guests-arrive kind of dish! The white wine, fresh tomatoes, cilantro and turmeric all blend in perfectly with the halibut. I created this recipe a long time ago and now I prefer to make this dish with either Arctic char or Alaskan wild ... Read More »
Breads and Galettes
I am French-- of course I have to have a blog dedicated just to breads--it's in my blood and soul! I remember as a young girl growing up in Perpignan, in the South of France, one of my sisters or I had to go to the corner boulangerie every single day to pick up our baguettes--what a tough chore right? I remember so vividly how perfectly crusty on the outside and light, ... Read More »
Soft Wheat Buns
I use a mixture of soft wheat flour (you will find it at the supermarket as whole wheat pastry flour), bread flour and wheat gluten for these wonderfully light and chewy buns. These are much lighter and fluffier in texture than my Whole Wheat Boule which I think makes them the perfect bun for my turkey mushroom burgers, my Mini BBQ Burgers and my Vegan Burgers. I also love ... Read More »
Pizza Dough
I love this dough for my pizza crust! It is delicious --perfectly chewy on the inside yet crisp on the outside--and nutritious-- I use mostly soft wheat flour (it's called whole wheat pastry flour at your regular supermarket). It is intentionally not 100% soft wheat--I have some plain bread flour in there too--because I find that it gives me the best result both in ... Read More »
Fresh Tomato Olive & Basil Galette
The crust, made with white wine, white whole wheat flour (here is one I like) and extra virgin olive oil is so quick and easy to make, you can whip it up in less than 5 minutes-really (Watch me make it in my kitchen here)! I use a store-bought simple tomato marinara sauce, so that's one less thing to fuss about. You can of course make your marinara sauce from scratch but I ... Read More »
Gratin Dauphinois
This is a traditional regional French dish typically made with potatoes and cream, slowly cooked in the oven. Needless to say my version is not so rich! I make it with skim milk but because I give it time to simmer first on the stove and then finish baking it in the oven, the milk becomes as thick and luscious as cream and I add just a little bit of comté or gruyère cheese to ...

Cuisinicity is teaching me how to cook and nurture people!
"Cooking is part of a precious way of life that is steeped in values and integrity which are worth preserving - even after a very busy workday. No excuses. Cuisinicity is teaching me how to cook and nurture people." ~John ... Read More »
