Recipe: Gluten-Free Apple and Date Buckwheat Scones
I have been in the midst of wrapping up a cookbook with my friend Johanna (more on that here) so there have been a lot of butter and flour combinations in my kitchen as of late.
While that is all well and good (just like Julia Child, I do happen to believe in butter, as long as it’s real butter), sometimes I just crave making something that has nothing to do with standard baking ingredients. A little olive oil here, a little gluten-free flour there.
There is beauty and creativity born out of restriction, after all.

Recipe: Olive Oil Citrus Polenta Cake
Everyone has to have a couple of go-to cake recipes. Because when it’s Sunday afternoon and you’ve spent all morning drinking coffee and reading The New York Times (you’re still impressed by this week’s Modern Love section, and weren’t Bill Cunningham’s photos great this week?), you better have something to whip up for dessert when your friend throws an impromptu get together. The olive oil polenta cake is mine.
Friday Photo: Ingredients
I love the colors in this photo, the contrast of the green of the olive oil and the yellow Meyer Lemon. All part of one the Best. Cakes. Ever.
