"Panellets” are the traditional desert in Catalonia on All Saints holiday. They seem like marzipan balls. The usual ingredients of the basic batter are almonds, sugar, eggs and sometimes also potatoes and flour.
Then pine-nuts, coconut, cacao, lemon, etc can be added, depending on different preferences.
I’ve modified the recipe to do them GAPS friendly, so I’ve replaced sugar by honey and avoided adding potatoes and flour.

When autumn comes all nature turns orange, leaves and fruits: squash, sweet potato, kakis, and a little bit later in winter, mandarines and oranges will arrive. So kitchen takes also an orange color. This is a recipe of an orange pumpkin and apple cake.

Squash is very useful in baking when there’s an intolerance to any cereal or starch. It allows to bake cakes very soft. I’ve added apple to sweeten a little bit more.

These cookies are a slight variation from the ones already published here. Some changes have been made: sugar by honey, any chocolate, the amount of rice flour has been decreased and olive oil has been replaced by coconut oil. In this way biscuits are healthier.

Baking a fluffy and moist cake without eggs isn't easy. One secret for success is to use yeast instead of baking soda, and another one is adding jam or fruit compote.

I’ve been inspired by the recipe for gingerbread with orange from which I removed starches because they aren’t good for health, sugar is replaced by the date syrup, and margarine, a product that can’t hold heating very well, is replaced by the coconut butter.

Making a good tomato sauce needs a lot of time of preparation and cooking, and even more, if you don’t take care, the kitchen will finish with tomato everywhere! But the flavor of a home-made tomato sauce is incomparable to the commercial one.
The ingredients can be very different in every country, even in every family: basilic, carrot, pepper, garlic, vinegar, etc. can be added if you prefer. This is the recipe that my mother showed me.
