Paprika Shrimp & Green Bean Saute

Green beans add snap and color to the garlicky shrimp and butter beans in this Spanish-inspired sauté. Slightly pricier prepeeled shrimp are worth it, given the amount of time they save on a harried weeknight. Serve with quinoa or brown rice.

Flourless Honey-Almond Cake

Honey and almonds flavor this simple (and gluten-free) cake. It's lovely for afternoon tea or a spring holiday dessert. Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites—they should be white and very foamy, but not at all stiff or able to hold peaks. If you beat them too much, the cake may sink in the middle as it cools.

Claire's Mixed Green Salad with Feta Vinaigrette

This salad was inspired by one served during the peak of summer at Claire's Restaurant & Bar in Hardwick. Chef Steven Obranovich of Claire's likes the soft crumbly sheep's-milk feta for this recipe. He cautions that the subtle briny notes of feta can sometimes be overpowered by too much lemon or an olive oil that's too fruity. Saltiness varies from feta to feta too. Add the ingredients a little at a time and taste as you go.

Parsley Smashed New Potatoes

Freshly dug, true “new” potatoes are so creamy and flavorful they hardly need any additional ingredients to make them spectacular. Here we tumble them with a bit of butter, tangy yogurt, scallions and just-chopped fresh parsley. If new potatoes are not available, use any small red potatoes.

Tomato-Herb Marinated Flank Steak

In this recipe, we make a dual-purpose sauce from garden-fresh tomatoes, shallot, marjoram and rosemary. We use half the sauce to marinate the steak and use the other half as a basting sauce. Pasture-raised, grass-fed beef is gentler on the environment, free from growth-promoting hormones and typically lower in fat and calories than grain-fed beef. Marinating grass-fed beef for a full day helps make it tender. Look for it at natural-foods markets or find it online.

Melon & Apple Granita

This granita uses sweet ripe melon for flavor, apple juice instead of sugar and a touch of lime juice to perk up the flavors. Berries look beautiful on top; or if you can find fresh figs, add them. For a vibrant look, make with an orange-fleshed melon, such as cantaloupe, Charentais or orange honeydew.

They're all great recipe. I'll try sometime. Gluten free dishes are all my favorite. have you tried Gluten free noodle? I found a product called Happy Pho and it tastes good. Moreover, it's high fibre and non processed ingredients. I like to make a stir fried or cool salad with it. You should try it. They have bunch of stores in Northern California. I got mine from Amazon. — hy.staranisefoods	07/23/2010 - 2:16am
Thank you!! These are very welcome. I haven't gone through the desserts yet (sorry, the pages load so slowly) but this time of year, a pie-crust recipe might be welcomed by a lot of people. And stuffing alternatives are good, too. My favorite is garlic mashed potatoes. Mmmm! — Anonymous	11/01/2010 - 5:52pm
For quiche, leftover grits or mashed potatoes (probably quinoa, too) plus a little beaten egg can make a quick, gluten-free crust. And no rolling! — Anonymous	11/01/2010 - 6:01pm
If you're missing pasta and don't like the idea of the gluten free pastas out there with tons of added sugar, a great thing to do is replace the pasta with veggies. Thin sliced eggplant makes a great lasagna substitute. Zucchini and spaghetti squash make great noodles. Chopped butternut squash is wonderful instead of elbow macaroni for mac and cheese. www.thehealthystyle.com — Anonymous	04/21/2012 - 7:42pm
