Adventures in a gluten-free Jewish kitchen
Follow me as I negotiate the ins and outs of a gluten-free diet. There will be laughter, there will be tears, and I promise at least one photo a month of my messy kitchen.
And, if all goes well, post-Challahism will involve challah. And lots of it.
On fasting
Today is Tisha B’av, and, like Jews all over the world, I am fasting. This year’s fast is a hard one — it began last night at 8:32pm, and will end tonight at 9:19pm. We fast by abstaining from food, naturally, but also from drinking. No morning coffee, no sip of water when your mouth … Read more
Cheating

I … Read more
AWOL
Yes. It’s been not much over three weeks and already I’ve gone AWOL. I have a good excuse, I swear. It involves latkes, and lots of them, and very little sleep. Blog post coming. I promise.
I have become an insecure baker…
The funny thing about starting a cooking blog is that I really feel the need to use these initial postings to “introduce” myself, as it were. Who I am, my relationship to my food, what I like, etc. So, forgive me if these are a little less food-y and a little more Tema-y. I promise … Read more
So, here we are…
So, here we are. You, me, and my kitchen. No gluten here anymore. I guess it’s time for me to grab a mixing bowl and dive in. Headfirst? Stomach first? Well… I owe it to gluten to say a quick farewell. Well, goodbye, gluten. I’ll miss you. Your departure from my life is going to … Read more
