Recipes That Work

Gluten-free versions of the food you actually miss. Nothing gets posted until it's worth making twice.

The recipe lab is warming up, and the first two assignments are already on the counter: one dead easy, one gloriously not. Nothing gets posted until it has been baked, tasted, and judged worth making twice.

Danish Puff Pastry, Worth the Effort

Real laminated gluten-free pastry, rolled and folded by hand, with cream cheese and raisin fillings. The boss fight. Results pending, crumbs guaranteed.

And after those, the comfort food I make best at home gets its turn. If there's a dish you miss and want me to crack, that's exactly the kind of assignment the Freak lives for.
