Gluten-free recipes

Recipes that do without wheat, barley, rye — not by swapping in gluten-free bread, but by letting rice, corn, potatoes, and legumes do the work they have always done.

Breakfast and Brunch

Acai Bowl

A thick acai bowl is about temperature, not blender power: freeze the banana solid, use no more than 60 ml of liquid, and blend on low. Stop often to scrape the sides down. Done right, the base scoops like soft-serve and holds a peak; done wrong, it is purple soup with granola sinking into it. Frozen acai packets are unsweetened and taste faintly of dark chocolate and blackberry, so the banana carries the sweetness. Toppings go on the second the base is out of the blender — it starts melting immediately.

Aïoli (Traditional Provençal Garlic and Olive Oil Sauce)

Aïoli is the classic Provençal garlic and olive oil sauce — a thick, glossy, intensely garlicky emulsion made from raw garlic, egg yolk, and extra virgin olive oil. Its name comes from Occitan: alh (garlic) and òli (oil). The authentic 'aïoli véritable' uses no egg and relies purely on garlic's emulsifying compounds, but Larousse Gastronomique and modern French restaurants now standardize the egg-yolk version as 'aïoli'. In Provence, this sauce is the centerpiece of Le Grand Aïoli — a Friday lunch of boiled vegetables, salt cod, and hard-boiled eggs all dipped into a communal bowl. Vegetarian, gluten-free, keto-friendly. Active work 15 minutes, no cooking. Yields 250 ml, serves 8.

Ají Criollo

Ají criollo is the emulsified chilli sauce that sits on every table in a Peruvian chicken house and next to every charcoal grill in Lima. Fresh ají amarillo is deveined and softened, fried with onion and garlic, then blended with fresh cheese and evaporated milk while oil is streamed in to build a thick, glossy emulsion, with huacatay and coriander folded in at the end for the herbal edge. It is a condiment rather than a cooking sauce: nothing is simmered in it, and it goes onto roast chicken, anticuchos, boiled potatoes and fried cassava after they leave the fire. Ají amarillo itself carries far more fruit than heat, so the sharpness in a good version comes from the ají limo added separately.

Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken)

Ají de gallina is one of Peru's most cherished comfort dishes — shredded poached chicken folded into a velvety golden sauce built on ají amarillo, the fruity yellow chili at the heart of Peruvian cooking. Milk-soaked bread and ground walnuts thicken it, while parmesan adds a salty, umami edge. Mildly spicy and rich, it's spooned over rice with boiled yellow potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled egg — a fusion of Spanish and Andean roots.

Anticuchos de Corazón

Anticuchos are skewers of beef heart marinated in ají panca, garlic, cumin and vinegar, then grilled over charcoal. They belong to the street corners of Lima, where the anticucheras set up braziers in the evening and serve them with a boiled potato, a piece of corn and a chilli sauce. The dish traces back to colonial Peru, when enslaved workers were given the offcuts that the Spanish kitchens discarded and applied a spiced-and-skewered technique to the heart, the cut closest in texture to muscle meat. Heart is dense, lean and mild rather than strong-tasting, and the entire difficulty lies in trimming it properly and taking it off the fire early. Marinating time comes on top of the stated time.

Beverages

Aperol Spritz

Three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol, one part soda water, poured in that order over ice in a large wine glass. The 3-2-1 ratio is the official recipe and it works â bitter, lightly sweet, sparkling, orange. The drink originated in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy as an aperitivo, meaning it's designed to be drunk before a meal to open the appetite. It's not complicated. What kills it at home is the wrong order of pouring and warm prosecco.

Sweet Dishes

Apple Kugel (Jewish Baked Apple Casserole)

Kugel is a Jewish baked casserole that sits somewhere between a cake and a pudding. This sweet apple version is built on a poured batter — oil, eggs, flour — that goes over layered apple slices and bakes until the bottom caramelises and the top turns golden. Denser than a charlotte, more forgiving than a tart. Traditional on Shabbat and holiday tables, pareve, and genuinely better the next day.
