Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

It was a simple, satisfying cake, full of juicy chunks of apples, warm spices, and a bit of crunch on the surface and around the edges. As I helped myself to a second serving, I grilled Leslie for the details and she promised it was silly easy -- a one bowl affair that didn’t even require a mixer. Sold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie’s apple cake is awesome as is. I made minor tweaks to it, cutting down a bit of the sugar and swapping in olive oil for the light vegetable oil. This cake feels wholesome. The kind of breakfast cake or snacking cake I could whip up on a whim and eat without feeling guilty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes though, times call for something...well, a little less wholesome. Sorry Les, I got nasty with this apple cake. I added two sticks of butter and layered it with thick swaths of decadent New York-style crumb topping. I know, I’m a depraved soul. Forgive me. Or, um...thank me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/2012-11-10-apple-crumb-cake-25.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/2012-11-10-apple-crumb-cake-25.jpg\" alt=\"Bring on the crumb\" title=\"Bring on the crumb\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52123\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Bring on the crumb\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspiration for the crumb topping comes from one of my favorite baking blogs, \u003ca href=\"http://www.culinaryconcoctionsbypeabody.com/2010/07/13/baker-superiority-complex/\">Culinary Concoctions by Peabody\u003c/a>. Peabody and I met on a press trip over \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com/events/harry-david-the-people-behind-the-pears/\">Harry & David pears\u003c/a> and I immediately respected her immodest use of butter. Peabody didn’t let me down, and indeed I found what I was looking for on her site. A thick, cakey, swoon-inducing crumb topping, the kind you find perched on top of old fashioned crumb cakes or crumb cake doughnuts, the kind that those Hostess Crumb Cakes never have enough of. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I had another brilliant idea. What’s better than crumb topping? Well, three layers of crumb topping, of course. Why be stingy with the good stuff?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best part is, this is still a pretty low-maintenance cake.

It was a simple, satisfying cake, full of juicy chunks of apples, warm spices, and a bit of crunch on the surface and around the edges. As I helped myself to a second serving, I grilled Leslie for the details and she promised it was silly easy -- a one bowl affair that didn’t even require a mixer. Sold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie’s apple cake is awesome as is. I made minor tweaks to it, cutting down a bit of the sugar and swapping in olive oil for the light vegetable oil. This cake feels wholesome. The kind of breakfast cake or snacking cake I could whip up on a whim and eat without feeling guilty. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes though, times call for something...well, a little less wholesome. Sorry Les, I got nasty with this apple cake. I added two sticks of butter and layered it with thick swaths of decadent New York-style crumb topping. I know, I’m a depraved soul. Forgive me. Or, um...thank me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/2012-11-10-apple-crumb-cake-25.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/2012-11-10-apple-crumb-cake-25.jpg\" alt=\"Bring on the crumb\" title=\"Bring on the crumb\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52123\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Bring on the crumb\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Peabody and I met on a press trip over \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com/events/harry-david-the-people-behind-the-pears/\">Harry & David pears\u003c/a> and I immediately respected her immodest use of butter. Peabody didn’t let me down, and indeed I found what I was looking for on her site. A thick, cakey, swoon-inducing crumb topping, the kind you find perched on top of old fashioned crumb cakes or crumb cake doughnuts, the kind that those Hostess Crumb Cakes never have enough of. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I had another brilliant idea.

Crappy wine makes good sangria too, you just have to add a lot more to it. I prefer to let the wine shine through too.

To do this, simple place about 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Lightly wet the rosemary and then give it a good shake to remove any excess water.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh. She demonstrated how to roll it into a ball between two palms and then flatten it by pressing into a roundish shape onto the corn husk and plopping some of her fall-apart-tender cooked beef roast, studded with vegetables on top. Squeeze together the edges of the filled masa in its corn husk wrapper and simply fold the ends or tie up the tamale with a thin strip of corn husk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53101\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Dilsas-cheese-tamales-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53101\" title=\"Dilsa's cheese tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Dilsas-cheese-tamales-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dilsa's cheese tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dilsa's cheese tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dilsa Lugo of \u003ca href=\"http://www.buylocalcampaign.com/losCilantros/index.html\">Los Cilantros\u003c/a> is from Cuernavaca, Mexico. She told us her secret for achieving fluffy tamales is using fresh lard and explained that each corn husk has a smooth and a scratchy side; you should spread the masa on the smooth side for easier removal after steaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consistency of Dilsa’s masa was totally different than Alicia’s. We used a spoon to smear the sticky masa very thinly on the corn husk, then added two kinds of cheese and topped with tomato, onion and jalapeno. Dilsa, who is sous chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.copitarestaurant.com/\">Copita\u003c/a> in Sausalito also does catering.

Her variation on the tamale theme employed cooked--not raw--masa with the vegetables already mixed in. We scooped a big dollop of the masa veggie mixture onto cut rectangles of banana leaves, backed with paper, instead of corn husks, and folded and rolled them up into tight little bundles. She also demonstrated another recipe with chicken and a dozen vegetables, including green beans, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, spinach and green olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the fourth table, demonstrating Alicia’s recipe for sweet mango-filled tamales was Alejandra, another program participant at La Cocina. Alicia adapted her mother’s traditional pineapple and strawberry tamale recipe, which uses a sweet masa made with butter and sugar. Her fluffy mango marvel won Alicia 1st prize at the Alameda County Fair. She shares her recipe with Bay Area Bites readers at the end of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although enjoyed throughout the year, tamales are an integral part of Mexican Christmas celebrations, most notably the nine day ritual called \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/latino/savor-holidays-tamales-las-posadas-article-1.354163\">Las Posadas\u003c/a> (meaning “lodgings”), which runs December 16-25, in which a candlelit, costumed procession with musicians, that is said to represent Mary and Joseph’s search for an inn, knocks on the doors of several houses before being welcomed into one home. Songs, piñatas, moles, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozole.\">pozole\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/article/celebrate-las-posadas-what-are-they-where-to-buy-tamales-how-to-make-ponche\">hot punch\u003c/a> and tamales typically enliven the festivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days before the Tamalada, BAB spoke with Alicia Villanueava and Maria del Carmen Flores at La Cocina. Their comments have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alicia, one of 4 children who grew up in Sinaloa, Mexico, is the only one in her family to move to the US. She came here with her 8-year old son (who is now 20 years old and studying alternative energy at SFSU). Her husband joined them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I see your business is centered on tamales. What is your connection to tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Tamales bring back beautiful memories from my mom and grandma. Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family. Is it just women who make the tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Not just women, men make them too. When you’re making tamales everyone wants to participate. Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family. And everyone goes home with lots of tamales that last for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can we find your tamales now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> I used to sell at Justin Herman Plaza but I found a new place at \u003ca href=\"http://somastreatfoodpark.com/\">SOMA Streat Food\u003c/a> -- every day. And I do catering and festivals. My big goal is to have a restaurant. I’m working on my second business plan with La Cocina. Maybe in the Financial District, but I’m open; God will find the right place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52970\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/DSCN3733.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-52970\" title=\"Ingredients for Maria's chicken tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/DSCN3733.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Maria's chicken tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ingredients for Maria's chicken tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the interview with Maria del Carmen Flores, La Cocina’s Azalea Perez Olivares kindly acted as interpreter\u003cbr>\nMaria is from El Salvador and started making tamales with her father when she was six years old. She described some differences:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maria:\u003c/strong> In Mexico, they use raw masa, while we use cooked. And our fillings are different, like one with chicken, potato, green olives and chickpeas. The vegetarian I made up because there are so many vegetarians here. Since tamale making is so labor intensive, it’s great for parties. We talk, teach and learn in a group from each other. I started making them here in my kitchen in 2003 and sold them on street corners in San Francisco. It was hard because I had to hide from the police. Then I found La Cocina and now I sell at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/alemany-farmers-market-san-francisco\">Alemany Farmers Market\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/heart-of-the-city-farmers-market-san-francisco\">Civic Center Farmers Market\u003c/a> and do catering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I know your business name Estrellita means little stars and I see you have gold inlay stars on your teeth too. Can I ask why all the stars?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maria:\u003c/strong> Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a superstar on TV. Thank God I could accomplish that through my food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Then with a little prompting from Azalea, Maria tells me how her other dream came true too. She has a part in the new Woody Allen film that was recently shot in San Francisco. She was “discovered” on the corner of south Van Ness and 14th wearing a typical dress from El Salvador, when apparently she was noticed by film people scouting for extras. They asked her to be in Allen’s movie and she filmed a scene in which Cate Blanchett asks her for a key to an apartment.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t miss another Tamalada at La Cocina.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh.

We scooped a big dollop of the masa veggie mixture onto cut rectangles of banana leaves, backed with paper, instead of corn husks, and folded and rolled them up into tight little bundles. She also demonstrated another recipe with chicken and a dozen vegetables, including green beans, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, spinach and green olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the fourth table, demonstrating Alicia’s recipe for sweet mango-filled tamales was Alejandra, another program participant at La Cocina.

Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family. Is it just women who make the tamales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> Not just women, men make them too. When you’re making tamales everyone wants to participate. Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family. And everyone goes home with lots of tamales that last for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can we find your tamales now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> I used to sell at Justin Herman Plaza but I found a new place at \u003ca href=\"http://somastreatfoodpark.com/\">SOMA Streat Food\u003c/a> -- every day.

If the weather is nice, we postpone the present opening and pile into the car to head directly to the beach for a walk — a sunny December day along the Northern California coast is something to celebrate. Later, we cook a delicious dinner and sit around the table with a fire glowing in the fireplace nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simple, yes, but in these waning days of 2012 there is infinite comfort in the familiar. There are the redwoods still standing tall in the backyard; there is my ritual cup of hot chocolate (the only time I drink it); there is my brother yawning and grinning; there are big bowls of citrus fruit; and there are the neighbor's cats creeping over the doorstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there is, inevitably, the discussion about what to cook for the holiday meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few caveats: I don't eat meat, my dad hews to a low-cholesterol diet, my sister-in-law avoids gluten. My brother is generally happy with most things, as long as the meal involves a lot of vegetables and perhaps lamb. My mom and my husband have very few food aversions. Fortunately, despite our specific needs, we are a fairly easygoing bunch as long as the white wine is cold and there's some sort of decadent dessert following dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it requires some forethought. To that end, the vegetarian entree is often marinated and sauteed portobello mushroom \"steaks,\" or a rich and creamy risotto. Potatoes may be roasted with olive oil instead of mashed with butter in a nod to a healthier lifestyle. And with just a little bit of extra effort, it's possible to eliminate gluten altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a vegetarian, I am very conscious of the reality that not everyone can eat everything. When I cook I try to be aware of dietary concerns and needs. I also keep an eye on the health factor. This typically means incorporating lots of seasonal vegetables in high quantities, using whole ingredients and relying on fresh flavors to keep my dishes interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making good use of vegetables and simple ingredients is key to the gluten-free holiday table. In the recipes below, I've attempted to give options for a complete, gluten-free holiday dinner from start to finish, and which I firmly believe will appeal to those who need to avoid gluten as well as those who can tolerate it. Where applicable I've included substitutions for those who also cannot eat dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pumpkin leek soup served with sage-laced corn muffins starts things off on a satisfyingly seasonal note. Roasted acorn squash stuffed with a wild rice mixture that also includes apples and dried cranberries is a hearty and satisfying — and, dare I argue, quite beautiful — naturally gluten-free and vegan main dish (of course, a more traditional roast also can be cooked without a speck of flour). And a smooth, silky chocolate cream pie with a toasted hazelnut-cocoa crust slips down all too quickly to flourlessly complete the repast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dealing with varied dietary restrictions may initially seem daunting and can add yet another complication to this glorious yet hectic season. Don't fret. Keep it simple, keep it fresh, and keep it real.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While my family's holiday traditions may seem distinctly Californian — anchored by that beach trip and clementines that perfume the kitchen — I'd bet that regardless of geography, what we so eagerly anticipate is gathering together to eat and be merry (that and a few presents given and received). It is perhaps the most consistent and enduring holiday tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year I'm hoping for sun along the Pacific — really the only present I could ask for — and a long evening around the table with my nearest and dearest. Also, that chocolate cream pie.

If the weather is nice, we postpone the present opening and pile into the car to head directly to the beach for a walk — a sunny December day along the Northern California coast is something to celebrate. Later, we cook a delicious dinner and sit around the table with a fire glowing in the fireplace nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simple, yes, but in these waning days of 2012 there is infinite comfort in the familiar. There are the redwoods still standing tall in the backyard; there is my ritual cup of hot chocolate (the only time I drink it); there is my brother yawning and grinning; there are big bowls of citrus fruit; and there are the neighbor's cats creeping over the doorstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My brother is generally happy with most things, as long as the meal involves a lot of vegetables and perhaps lamb. My mom and my husband have very few food aversions. Fortunately, despite our specific needs, we are a fairly easygoing bunch as long as the white wine is cold and there's some sort of decadent dessert following dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it requires some forethought. To that end, the vegetarian entree is often marinated and sauteed portobello mushroom \"steaks,\" or a rich and creamy risotto. Potatoes may be roasted with olive oil instead of mashed with butter in a nod to a healthier lifestyle. And with just a little bit of extra effort, it's possible to eliminate gluten altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a vegetarian, I am very conscious of the reality that not everyone can eat everything. When I cook I try to be aware of dietary concerns and needs. I also keep an eye on the health factor. This typically means incorporating lots of seasonal vegetables in high quantities, using whole ingredients and relying on fresh flavors to keep my dishes interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making good use of vegetables and simple ingredients is key to the gluten-free holiday table. In the recipes below, I've attempted to give options for a complete, gluten-free holiday dinner from start to finish, and which I firmly believe will appeal to those who need to avoid gluten as well as those who can tolerate it. Where applicable I've included substitutions for those who also cannot eat dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pumpkin leek soup served with sage-laced corn muffins starts things off on a satisfyingly seasonal note. Roasted acorn squash stuffed with a wild rice mixture that also includes apples and dried cranberries is a hearty and satisfying — and, dare I argue, quite beautiful — naturally gluten-free and vegan main dish (of course, a more traditional roast also can be cooked without a speck of flour). And a smooth, silky chocolate cream pie with a toasted hazelnut-cocoa crust slips down all too quickly to flourlessly complete the repast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dealing with varied dietary restrictions may initially seem daunting and can add yet another complication to this glorious yet hectic season. Don't fret. Keep it simple, keep it fresh, and keep it real.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While my family's holiday traditions may seem distinctly Californian — anchored by that beach trip and clementines that perfume the kitchen — I'd bet that regardless of geography, what we so eagerly anticipate is gathering together to eat and be merry (that and a few presents given and received). It is perhaps the most consistent and enduring holiday tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year I'm hoping for sun along the Pacific — really the only present I could ask for — and a long evening around the table with my nearest and dearest. Also, that chocolate cream pie. Gluten-free or no, it's the perfect way to toast the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"hummus\">\u003c/a>Recipe: Sweet Potato Hummus\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a riff on a hummus I came across years ago on food writer Kim O'Donnel's erstwhile food blog, A Mighty Appetite, for \u003c/em>The Washington Post\u003cem>.

As a naturopathic doctor I regularly council people on diet and nutrition. But I learned early in my career that it isn’t enough to tell people what they should eat.

One of the best ways to boost nutrition is to include superfoods in our daily diet. They provide more than nourishment, they are nutrient dense and have specific health benefits. For example, darkly colored berries such as blueberries, goji berries and raspberries are one of the richest sources of antioxidants and flavinoids. Eating them regularly reduces inflammation and strengthens blood vessels. They also protect against a variety of diseases including \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3068482/\">heart disease\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17147415\">cancer\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22357723\">diabetes\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After recommending medicinal foods for years, I decided to create my own recipe for superfood snacks. To be honest I needed them myself. With a highly demanding job and two small children it was becoming increasingly difficult to eat a balanced diet. I found myself missing meals and the six-hour lag between lunch and dinner was a set up for low blood sugar. It may be ideal to sit down to three well-rounded meals, but when that isn’t possible it helps to have Power Balls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I designed these snacks to provided sustained energy. They are high in protein and fiber, low in sugar and gluten-free. They also contain the superfoods flax and maca to balance hormones and improve mood. The other ingredients are extremely versatile and can be easily adapted to suit individual taste or avoid allergens. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52823\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/ingredients-frontroom1000.jpg\" alt=\"Power Ball ingredients\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52823\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Power Ball ingredients \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52822\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/ground-flax1000.jpg\" alt=\"Ground Flaxseeds\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52822\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ground Flaxseeds \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.flaxcouncil.ca/english/index.jsp?p=nutrition1&mp=nutrition\">FLAX\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCheap and tasty flax seeds are one of the original power foods. Flax seeds are the best vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids (EFAs) are extremely important because they include anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and hormone balancing properties. One of the most common uses of omega-3s is in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21903025\">treatment of mood disorders and depression\u003c/a>. Unfortunately, EFAs are scarce in the modern American diet and supplementation is often necessary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flax is also a rich source of fiber. This helps to lower cholesterol, bind toxins and prevent constipation. Some of the most important components of this fiber are the lignans. Lignans are phytoestrogens. By binding to estrogen receptors, phytoestrogens can both balance hormone levels in premenopausal women and improve low estrogen symptoms on post-menopausal women. Some lignans are also potent anti-oxidants. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23106213\">lignan SDG\u003c/a> for example has recently been shown to protect against \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23106213\">radiation damage\u003c/a>, and has potent anti-cancer effects. Flax seeds are available in both brown and golden varieties but the nutrition profile is similar. It is important to grind the seeds to get their full benefit and to refrigerate or freeze them after they are ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52826\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/maca1000.jpg\" alt=\"Maca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52826\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maca \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MACA\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAlso known as Lepidium peruvianum, this South American medicinal food has long been used as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18801111\">aphrodisiac\u003c/a> and energy tonic. Clinical trials have shown that Maca can improve libido and may even reverse the sexual side effects from anti-depressant medications. It can increase sperm count and motility in men and is used to treat menopausal symptoms in women. The most remarkable thing is that maca has these effects \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20616517\">without increasing hormone levels\u003c/a>. Maca has also been shown to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18784609\">reduce anxiety and depression\u003c/a> while increasing energy. Herbs with these properties are called adaptogens because they help the body adapt to stress. Maca is available in many forms -- capsules, tincture and roasted or raw powder. For cooking the powder is best. The raw powder is bland and mildly sweet while the roasted powder has a rich flavor similar to coffee or chicory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recipe below combines flax and maca with a high quality protein powder, nut butter, cocoa and raspberry jam. The ratios provide a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. These flavors complement each other, but don’t be afraid to vary the ingredients to suit your own taste. Remember to use organic ingredients whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52833\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/power-balls1000e.jpg\" alt=\"Power Ball - Superfood Snack\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52833\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Power Ball - Superfood Snack \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Recipe: Power Balls\u003c/strong>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> Approximately 1 dozen balls\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup of ground flax seed*\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup of protein powder (either plain or vanilla flavor), rice or whey is best\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup of raw maca powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (depending on taste)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon of finely ground sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup of hazelnut butter or try another nut/seed butter such as peanut butter, tahini or almond butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup of raspberry jam or other all fruit jam\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1-2 tablespoons of honey\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup of goji berries, dried blueberries or dark chocolate chips (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>unsweetened, shredded coconut for coating (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"52825,52827,52932\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Combine the flax, protein powder, maca, cocoa, salt and stir well.

They also protect against a variety of diseases including \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3068482/\">heart disease\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17147415\">cancer\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22357723\">diabetes\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After recommending medicinal foods for years, I decided to create my own recipe for superfood snacks. To be honest I needed them myself. With a highly demanding job and two small children it was becoming increasingly difficult to eat a balanced diet. I found myself missing meals and the six-hour lag between lunch and dinner was a set up for low blood sugar. It may be ideal to sit down to three well-rounded meals, but when that isn’t possible it helps to have Power Balls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I designed these snacks to provided sustained energy. They are high in protein and fiber, low in sugar and gluten-free. They also contain the superfoods flax and maca to balance hormones and improve mood. The other ingredients are extremely versatile and can be easily adapted to suit individual taste or avoid allergens. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52823\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/ingredients-frontroom1000.jpg\" alt=\"Power Ball ingredients\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52823\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Power Ball ingredients \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52822\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/ground-flax1000.jpg\" alt=\"Ground Flaxseeds\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52822\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ground Flaxseeds \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.flaxcouncil.ca/english/index.jsp?p=nutrition1&mp=nutrition\">FLAX\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCheap and tasty flax seeds are one of the original power foods. Flax seeds are the best vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids (EFAs) are extremely important because they include anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and hormone balancing properties. One of the most common uses of omega-3s is in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21903025\">treatment of mood disorders and depression\u003c/a>.

Some of the most important components of this fiber are the lignans. Lignans are phytoestrogens. By binding to estrogen receptors, phytoestrogens can both balance hormone levels in premenopausal women and improve low estrogen symptoms on post-menopausal women. Some lignans are also potent anti-oxidants. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23106213\">lignan SDG\u003c/a> for example has recently been shown to protect against \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23106213\">radiation damage\u003c/a>, and has potent anti-cancer effects. Flax seeds are available in both brown and golden varieties but the nutrition profile is similar. It is important to grind the seeds to get their full benefit and to refrigerate or freeze them after they are ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52826\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/maca1000.jpg\" alt=\"Maca\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52826\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maca \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MACA\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAlso known as Lepidium peruvianum, this South American medicinal food has long been used as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18801111\">aphrodisiac\u003c/a> and energy tonic. Clinical trials have shown that Maca can improve libido and may even reverse the sexual side effects from anti-depressant medications. It can increase sperm count and motility in men and is used to treat menopausal symptoms in women. The most remarkable thing is that maca has these effects \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20616517\">without increasing hormone levels\u003c/a>. Maca has also been shown to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18784609\">reduce anxiety and depression\u003c/a> while increasing energy. Herbs with these properties are called adaptogens because they help the body adapt to stress. Maca is available in many forms -- capsules, tincture and roasted or raw powder. For cooking the powder is best. The raw powder is bland and mildly sweet while the roasted powder has a rich flavor similar to coffee or chicory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recipe below combines flax and maca with a high quality protein powder, nut butter, cocoa and raspberry jam.

When shredding the sweet potatoes, I do it the long way. I don't know why that sounds dirty, but it does. Anyway, I run them through the food processor or you can use a cheese grater.

The Jewish festival of lights starts this Saturday and runs for eight delicious, fried-food-filled days. If you're not celebrating this holiday, now's the time to start hinting about how much you love latkes to all your Jewish friends. Do this and we will feel compelled to feed you; it's just in our blood. (It's more believable if you get the pronunciation right: \u003cem>laht-kuh,\u003c/em> not \u003cem>laht-kee.\u003c/em>) Ever since I moved to the Bay Area twenty-two years ago, I've thrown an annual Hanukkah latke party. People invited to that very first one have started emailing me this week, wondering when and where this year's shindig will be. Anyone once invited assumes lifelong latke-party privileges. Some of my friends only know each other through this annual event, but come December, they'll greet each other like old pals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fried food and festivity will do that to a person. What's a latke, you ask? A grated potato-and-onion pancake, thickened with eggs and matzoh meal or flour to something much more than the sum of its hash brown-like parts. At this time of year, the usual challenge for food writers of the \u003cem>-baum, -stein,\u003c/em> and \u003cem>-berg\u003c/em> variety is to come up with nifty spins on tradition, ditching the typical potato base for any number of tuber, root, or squash-based concoctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it's different if you have a big family demanding latkes for all eight days, then roiling with potato-induced ennui by day four. In my experience, few people make latkes year-round, and few people make them more than once or twice even during Hanukkah. Really, with such rare days devoted to latkes, there's no time to get bored even with good old Bubbeleh's latkes, and no real reason, in my book, to drive yourself crazy trying to make zucchini-parmesan latkes, parsnip-celery root latkes, sweet apple latkes, and the like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this year, I know I'll have a few people requesting a gluten-free edition of my \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/12/13/latkes/\">classic potato latkes\u003c/a>. No problem! My solution? Just leave out the matzoh meal and add back in a little more potato, in the form of potato starch. A dry white powder similar to cornstarch, potato starch can be found in the kosher or baking section of most supermarkets (If you can't find it among the boxes of matzoh meal and potato-pancake mix, look for it with the other alternative flours in the baking or health-food sections of the supermarket.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the tricks of my latke technique is to squeeze out all the excess liquid from the grated potatoes. After you've let the squeezed-out liquid sit for a few minutes, you'll find that the excess potato starch has settled down to the bottom of the bowl in a slushy, cream-colored layer. You pour off the extra liquid and mix the extra potato starch back into the potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, since there's already potato starch in the pancakes, why not just add more of the same in lieu of the matzoh meal or flour? No need for xanthum gum or tapioca, just more of what makes the potato work so well for frying in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can, of course, use a mixture of regular and sweet potatoes, or potatoes and rutabaga, or potatoes and parsnip, if you need such excitement from your latkes. I'd suggest a rough 3:1 ratio of potato to alternate tuber/root, and don't skimp on the salt and freshly ground pepper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe, strongly, that latkes should be made to order, not frozen and reheated or made by the double-dozen and left to wilt greasily in a warm oven. This may also have something to do with why they only show up once a year at my house. Anyone wants to talk to you, they know where to find you: in front of the stove, in a grease-splatted apron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also vote, early and often, for homemade applesauce, which is nothing more than rough-chopped apples simmered gently in a generous splash of apple juice or apple cider until they collapse at the poke of a spoon. You can leave them unpeeled, then crank your skin-studded mass through a food mill for a smooth, rosy puree. Or you can peel beforehand and beat the cooked mixture into a chunky mash with a wooden spoon, or aim for a smoother puree with a whisk or immersion blender. People eat this up with a spoon, no sugar or cinnamon needed. I've also made lovely roasted applesauce, using Judy Rogers' \u003ca href=\"http://www.food52.com/blog/2693_judy_rodgers_roasted_applesauce_and_savory_apple_charlottes\">Roasted Applesauce\u003c/a> from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook. Adding a generous pinch of salt to the apples as they're cooking is a nice touch when you're serving the applesauce as a part of a savory plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sour cream, the other classic accompaniment, should be the real, no-additives thing (I like \u003ca href=\"http://cloverstornetta.com/products/natural-dairy/sour-cream/regular/\">Clover\u003c/a>'s natural sour cream); if you don't want the fat, admit that you're kidding yourself and then go for nonfat Greek yogurt rather than fakey, creepily thickened \"lite\" sour cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/latke-ingredients500.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-52395\" title=\"Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/latke-ingredients500.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\" width=\"400\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gluten-Free Latkes for Hanukkah\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPotatoes can take a lot of salt and pepper.

Squeeze and wring excess liquid out of potato mixture, either by pressing it through a ricer, wrapping and squeezing it in a clean tea towel, or just by grabbing handfuls and squeezing vigorously. Let potato mixture drain through the colander for a few minutes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lift up colander and pour off excess liquid below, reserving the layer of potato starch at the bottom. Dump grated potatoes on top of potato starch, and mix thoroughly, being sure to scrape up the starch and mix well into the potatoes. Add dry potato starch, egg yolks, salt, and pepper and mix well.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In a separate bowl, using a whisk or a hand-held electric mixer, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into potato mixture.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In a heavy, preferably cast-iron frying pan or skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

The Jewish festival of lights starts this Saturday and runs for eight delicious, fried-food-filled days. If you're not celebrating this holiday, now's the time to start hinting about how much you love latkes to all your Jewish friends. Do this and we will feel compelled to feed you; it's just in our blood. (It's more believable if you get the pronunciation right: \u003cem>laht-kuh,\u003c/em> not \u003cem>laht-kee.\u003c/em>) Ever since I moved to the Bay Area twenty-two years ago, I've thrown an annual Hanukkah latke party. People invited to that very first one have started emailing me this week, wondering when and where this year's shindig will be. Anyone once invited assumes lifelong latke-party privileges. Some of my friends only know each other through this annual event, but come December, they'll greet each other like old pals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fried food and festivity will do that to a person. What's a latke, you ask? A grated potato-and-onion pancake, thickened with eggs and matzoh meal or flour to something much more than the sum of its hash brown-like parts. At this time of year, the usual challenge for food writers of the \u003cem>-baum, -stein,\u003c/em> and \u003cem>-berg\u003c/em> variety is to come up with nifty spins on tradition, ditching the typical potato base for any number of tuber, root, or squash-based concoctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it's different if you have a big family demanding latkes for all eight days, then roiling with potato-induced ennui by day four. In my experience, few people make latkes year-round, and few people make them more than once or twice even during Hanukkah. Really, with such rare days devoted to latkes, there's no time to get bored even with good old Bubbeleh's latkes, and no real reason, in my book, to drive yourself crazy trying to make zucchini-parmesan latkes, parsnip-celery root latkes, sweet apple latkes, and the like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this year, I know I'll have a few people requesting a gluten-free edition of my \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/12/13/latkes/\">classic potato latkes\u003c/a>. No problem! My solution? Just leave out the matzoh meal and add back in a little more potato, in the form of potato starch. A dry white powder similar to cornstarch, potato starch can be found in the kosher or baking section of most supermarkets (If you can't find it among the boxes of matzoh meal and potato-pancake mix, look for it with the other alternative flours in the baking or health-food sections of the supermarket.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the tricks of my latke technique is to squeeze out all the excess liquid from the grated potatoes. After you've let the squeezed-out liquid sit for a few minutes, you'll find that the excess potato starch has settled down to the bottom of the bowl in a slushy, cream-colored layer. You pour off the extra liquid and mix the extra potato starch back into the potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

No need for xanthum gum or tapioca, just more of what makes the potato work so well for frying in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can, of course, use a mixture of regular and sweet potatoes, or potatoes and rutabaga, or potatoes and parsnip, if you need such excitement from your latkes. I'd suggest a rough 3:1 ratio of potato to alternate tuber/root, and don't skimp on the salt and freshly ground pepper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe, strongly, that latkes should be made to order, not frozen and reheated or made by the double-dozen and left to wilt greasily in a warm oven. This may also have something to do with why they only show up once a year at my house. Anyone wants to talk to you, they know where to find you: in front of the stove, in a grease-splatted apron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also vote, early and often, for homemade applesauce, which is nothing more than rough-chopped apples simmered gently in a generous splash of apple juice or apple cider until they collapse at the poke of a spoon. You can leave them unpeeled, then crank your skin-studded mass through a food mill for a smooth, rosy puree. Or you can peel beforehand and beat the cooked mixture into a chunky mash with a wooden spoon, or aim for a smoother puree with a whisk or immersion blender. People eat this up with a spoon, no sugar or cinnamon needed. I've also made lovely roasted applesauce, using Judy Rogers' \u003ca href=\"http://www.food52.com/blog/2693_judy_rodgers_roasted_applesauce_and_savory_apple_charlottes\">Roasted Applesauce\u003c/a> from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook. Adding a generous pinch of salt to the apples as they're cooking is a nice touch when you're serving the applesauce as a part of a savory plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sour cream, the other classic accompaniment, should be the real, no-additives thing (I like \u003ca href=\"http://cloverstornetta.com/products/natural-dairy/sour-cream/regular/\">Clover\u003c/a>'s natural sour cream); if you don't want the fat, admit that you're kidding yourself and then go for nonfat Greek yogurt rather than fakey, creepily thickened \"lite\" sour cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/latke-ingredients500.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-52395\" title=\"Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/latke-ingredients500.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\" width=\"400\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gluten-Free Latke Ingredients\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gluten-Free Latkes for Hanukkah\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPotatoes can take a lot of salt and pepper.
