My 7-year old son and I just LOVE this site and recently tried your awesome meatballs. Thanks for all the great recipes, and hurray for the Mediterranean!

Tiffany said...

This is a great list! I especially like the squash recipes :) Ever since being diagnosed with Celiac, we've been on the 'mediterranean diet' as well. It's so delicious, and pretty naturally GF. It's almost like you fall into it because it's so natural to eat that way when avoiding gluten. I'll bet most Gluten free-ers are on the same type of diet. Thanks for all of the recipes, it's a great resource!

Helene said...

So glad you posted this. My brother-in-law will be visiting soon and he has celiac. Thanks.

Patty said...

Thanks for the amazing post Karina! I've bookmarked many of these super recipes, and am looking forward to making them...

Simply...Gluten-free said...

Great post. I naturally lean towards the Mediterranaen diet myself. Funny how when I eat junk I want more junk, when I eat healthy I crave salads and veggies and olives.

Paula said...

Wow! This is a cyber cookbook! What a great thing you've provided to the gluten free community (and beyond!)! Thanks so much for posting these. That frittata has caught my immediate attention, as does that huevos diablo dish! Oh who am I kidding, they've all caught my attention!

kellypea said...

I'm always in awe when I stop by here. You're amazing, and I have an equal obsession for garlic and all things mediterranean. Yummy!

Sally Parrott Ashbrook said...

I was so excited because I thought I'd made (and just posted) a vegan, soy-free ice cream you could eat . . . but then I looked and realized that you have a coconut allergy, too. Damn! I know you have your sad moments, as we all do, but you handle all of this with such aplomb.

I used to eat pretty much the Standard American Diet. Estrogen-linked cancer at 21 ended that. And I have to say it's so much more satisfying to eat mostly healthfully now that I'm used to it.

Carin Ritter said...

Loved the sweet potato cornbread! Can't wait to try the rest of the Mediterranean roundup. Thanks for the treat!

Angela said...

What a terrific posting! I'm a huge fan of the Mediterranean diet. It's great to see such a comprehensive list of your recipes all together in one post. I'm definitely book-marking this one. Thanks again!

Trudy said...

What a wonderfully delicious and diverse selection of recipes! Like you, I'm a really big fan of the Mediterranean diet (I love the foods as well as the health benefits), so I'll definitely be trying out a lot of these recipes :)

milhan said...

Being raised by a Turkish father, I am all about the Mediterranean way of eating.

I can't wait to try more of your recipes...thanks!

Parker said...

Yes I love the med-diet. Although I am not full fledge or trying to be on it, many of my foods are slowly going this way. The foods are just so flavorful. Not to mention healthy. I agree with you and hold the same feelings about no fast food, no soda, processed snacks etc.... I am going to go through this awesome list of recipes - Thanks!

Holly@aiminghigh said...

Karina,
I just found your blog. And, this entry is wonderful! Myself and my children have such an array of differing food allergies. It can be difficult to find a recipe that we all can eat. Rather than become a short order cook in my own home, I have been trying to train my family's tastebuds to appreciate each others' allergy safe food. I noticed that I've become a "Mediterranean cook" as well. Thus, your recipes will come in VERY handy. I look forward to trying some.
Many Blessings,
Holly@aiminghigh

Mama Kat said...

I'm new to the GF world as well...just read the comment about meatballs?? I'm gonna have to check that out now. :)

Thanks for all the great recipes!!

VeggieGirl said...

Wonderful recipe list!!

allergy mama said...

Your recipes inspire me to feed our family with more variety and more healthfully! We have allergies too, though not quite so many. Your comment about yogurt makes me wonder... have you looked into Ricera rice yogurt? We do coconut milk yogurt, but I see that on your list of allergies...
Take care, and thanks for giving us all courage to keep cooking!

Marla said...

Just made your Chicken Soup for the soul last night with the green chile cornbread. It was just awesome! We would seriously starve if it wasn't for your blog....Thank you and have a happy, healthy, prosperous 2009.

Simply...Gluten-free said...

YUM! Happy New Year! xo, carol

Michele said...

Karina, made your pomegranate roast for New Years Eve. I cooked for 5 straight days (3 meals a day) AND baked (incl. your to die for dc brownies) and all my in-laws would talk about was the roast. Even mentioned it to other guests that came to visit. It really was delicious! They even fought over the left-overs. Thanks for making me look good!

Alisa said...

Gluten-free goddess sounds so limiting ... you really are a Food Goddess! I have loved your recipes and look forward to another year ahead of them!

Sally said...

I love steak too much to actually go on this diet (I also hate the word "diet" too much to do so), but I agree with other posters who said eating GF naturally takes you into a more "mediterranean" diet.
Just wanted to say that this inspired me to go buy fresh veggies and make a big platter of roasted ones. Yum!

Christina said...

I Love You! Thanks for reminding me of all the deliciousness there is out there. I had a bit of a "poor me" moment as I watched my family devour my homemade apple pie (full of gluten-y goodness of course)But that's ok. Your Cranberry Apple Cake is one of my new favs.
