This roasted carrot hummus is vibrant, flavorful and creamy thanks to turmeric, fresh lemon juice, and a reduced quantity of chickpeas that makes it a ridiculously convenient and delicious low FODMAP snack. The pantry staple recipe is a fan favorite from my bestselling SIBO cookbook! Having worked as a private chef for over a decade, I can anecdotally say that hummus is one of the favorite snacks of families trying to get more vegetables on the table. I’ve made dozens of varieties for clients, but one of the hurdles that those following a low FODMAP diet face is the quantity of chickpeas ..read more

Creamy, slightly spicy and an epic vegetarian dinner, this cold sesame noodle salad combines gluten-free rice noodles, smashed cucumbers, and a tahini sesame dressing. It’s a vegetarian pasta salad that is a fan favorite from my cookbook and a regular dish on my weeknight rotation! When you’re writing a cookbook, one of the many (many!!) hard parts is deciding which recipes to add to your photography shot list. For various reasons, often some of my favorite recipes don’t make the cut in my books. This cod fish stew was a no-photo winner from my SIBO book! And such was the case with CARBIVORE ..read more

This easy roasted broccoli side dish is punched up with a tangy and herby caper pesto and makes for a beautiful presentation on your holiday table or for a weeknight dinner. It’s bulked up with some roasted cabbage to allow for a larger low FODMAP portion, but it’s truly the best side dish for any dairy-free, gluten-free meal! I don’t serve up vegetable side dish recipes on this site as often as I should, partially because I can get a little lazy when it comes to my own table. Usually, I’ll just keep things simple and roast one vegetable or another in the oven and call it a day. But every onc ..read more

These dilly gluten-free matzo balls are light, fluffy and flavorful despite not using baking powder (the schmaltz is optional too if you are keeping them vegetarian!). They easily come together from meal or whole blitzed matzo, and can be boiled in advance before making their grand appearance in your Passover chicken soup bowls! As I lamented in my matzo ball soup post, one of the downsides of not hosting seder at my own house is that I don’t get to make gluten-free matzo balls. (Luckily, this Passover brisket makes up for it). So I’ve taken to making matzo ball soup at other times of year to ..read more

This Provençal chicken recipe has the one pan ease of a classic Marbella but is made with Mediterranean flavors: olives, tomatoes, dates and no added sugar. It’s a perfect gluten-free dairy-free Kosher chicken option for Passover seder. This Provencal chicken recipe is something I’ve been making for over a decade. It was originally published in my first cookbook in a chapter on budget cooking for large crowds. I believe it was originally inspired by a Chicken Provencal recipe from the queen herself, Ina Garten, but made slightly sweet and sour to be reminiscent of another thrifty one pan favo ..read more

The podcast is back for a very special two-part bonus episode series dedicated to the subject of carbs and IBS. Which also just so happens to be the subject of my new cookbook! On the last episode, I explained the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. We also discussed how our blood sugar is very much dependent on the health of our gut. In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you how to put all this information into practice in your daily life. These are some of the best tips from my new book CARBIVORE about how to incorporate carbs into your diet ..read more

This Italian-inspired dairy-free lemon olive oil cake is light yet moist thanks to the almond flour, citrus zest, and whipped egg whites. Since it’s made without dairy products, conventional flour or baking soda, it’s a perfect Kosher Passover cake to serve at seder. The past two Octobers, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Sicily. Usually, when I’m in a foreign country, I’m forced to watch as my husband goes from bakery to bakery (like on his Paris croissant crawl) and sample every delicious local delicacy with sugar in it. But in Italy, there’s usually a few gluten-free desserts to choose ..read more

This savory granola recipe uses four types of seeds for a fiber-packed low sugar breakfast that will remind you of your favorite everything bagel! It’s also a wonderful gluten-free snack to have on hand. One of the big lessons in my new cookbook CARBIVORE is that it’s so much better for your blood sugar to start the day with a savory breakfast instead of sweet. And yet, so many of our traditional breakfast foods, especially the packaged options for convenience, are full of a shocking amount of added sugar. Just turn over any store-bought granola and you’ll see that your breakfast might be blo ..read more

This moist and tender baked boneless pork loin roast is foolproof thanks to my herby mustard glaze. It’s elegant enough to serve on Easter or Christmas, but also also easy enough to slow roast for a weeknight dinner centerpiece. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free and can be low FODMAP without the garlic! Growing up mostly celebrating Jewish holidays, I didn’t really have many occasions to make a big pork roast for a crowd. But my mother would sometimes for special occasions like birthdays or winter long weekends make a French-inspired baked pork loin smothered in Dijon mustard, woody herbs and simm ..read more
