Thai curry paste is a mixture of herbs, spices, and aromatics used to make what Westerners know as Thai-style curry dishes, or “kaeng.” Thai curry paste is an incredibly useful ingredient, and all the more so if you have gastritis. That is because it has so many ingredients which are gastritis-friendly and […]
If you’re interested in sourdough baking but don’t have a sourdough starter, you may not have realized there’s lots of ways to come up with a “starter” – which is really just a natural yeast source rather than commercial packaged yeast. These are typically just as easy to make as […]
Do you miss some of your comfort foods on the gastritis diet? Or are you simply on a vegan or paleo diet looking for some new ideas? This is a quintessential comfort food and with this gastritis-friendly version (without garlic, black pepper, and other harsh ingredients), you’ll have none of […]

Steak tartare, also referred to as Beef Tartare, may not be on people’s radar like a good steak off the grill, but it’s so tasty, unique, and sensuous (the way sushi can be) that it will instantly be the talking point at your table. Or countertop, since this is typically […]

I played a lot with pineapple pickles this year, and I just love them! There’s already various pineapple & pineapple-pickle recipes on this blog you can check out. Jangajji are quite different from what most Americans associate with “pickles” but they’re absolutely delicious and so easy to make. If you […]
