Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups (445 g) homemade grain-free flour blend (see recipe below), or preferred gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (35 g) cornstarch
1 1/4 teaspoons (5 g) baking powder
1 teaspoon (7 g) Kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon (6 g) baking soda
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (212 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup packed (200 grams) light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 pound best-quality bittersweet chocolate (50-75% cacao content), chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup tapioca flour, spooned and leveled
1 cup arrowroot flour, spooned and leveled
1 cup coconut flour, spooned and leveled
1 cup almond flour, spooned and leveled
Ingredients

    For the cookies:

  1. Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugars with butter until very light and fluffy, doubled in volume, and no longer sandy to the touch, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl once (about 4 minutes). With mixer on medium speed, beat in eggs one at a time until combined; add vanilla. With the mixer on low, add flour mixture a heaping spoonful at a time, pausing to let each one incorporate. Stir in chopped chocolate by hand.
  2. Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop (or a slightly heaping tablespoon measure) to scoop portions of dough into about 1 1/2-inch balls onto a parchment-lined sheet (they can touch). Repeat with remaining dough. Cover sheet and chill 1 hour. (The sheet can also be transferred to the freezer at this point; once the dough portions are frozen, they can be broken apart and transferred to a zippered freezer bag and stored up to 3 months and baked directly from frozen.)
  3. To bake, preheat oven to 350°F with racks dividing the oven into upper and lower thirds. Arrange dough portions onto parchment or Silpat-lined sheets a few inches apart (12 per sheet). Sprinkle cookies with additional kosher salt. Bake cookies, rotating pans halfway through, until no longer wet-looking and very lightly golden brown around edges (12 to 14 minutes). Rest cookies on sheets for 5 minutes; use a thin spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

    For the homemade grain-free flour blend:

  1. Whisk together flours in a medium bowl. To store, transfer flour mixture to an airtight container and place away from heat for up to 3 months.

Flax Seed Potato Bread
This fragrant, chewy bread is moist and somewhat addictive. Last year, my older son asked me to buy some flax seeds for his morning oatmeal -- and it didn’t take long to realize that it adds a nice texture and a slightly nutty taste to the breads I usually make. This recipe starts with my favorite mashed potato recipe, and uses the potato water to good advantage.

Broccoli Rabe, Potato and Rosemary Pizza
This is a variation of a white (no sauce) pizza where the classic triumvarite of potatoes, garlic and rosemary is embellished with earthy and assertive broccoli rabe. The pizza dough is a recipe I have used and tweaked from Alice Waters over the years. Feel free to use your own favorite recipe. - TasteFood

Garlicky Roasted Potato Salad
A few years ago my sister and her husband invited me to a Spanish restaurant in New Jersey for dinner. I really don’t like leaving the city, but they promised me it was well worth it. I got my Visa, filled the car with gas and punched in the address into Paula, my GPS navigation device. All I kept thinking was Paula, don’t fail me now! All the food seemed pretty typical, but I had these amazing roasted potatoes that I couldn’t get enough of. I asked the waiter what was in them and the only thing he would tell me was garlic. I asked another waiter and he said Mayonnaise. Hmmmm, my fellow Umbres at this lovely establishment didn’t think I could guess it was a Spanish version of aioli. Because of global warming, the horrible economy and my total fear of going below 59th street, I’ve been pressed to come up with my own version. - MySocialChef
