Simple recipes for small kitchens
Just because I have a small kitchen doesn’t mean I don’t like good food! I love to cook but I hate to clean, so I’ve developed recipes that are simple, delicious, and easy to prepare in a small kitchen. Often with just one pan! Although not exclusively, I mostly eat vegetarian and gluten-free, so you’ll find lots of recipes for special diets here. Enjoy!

I’ve been wanting to try olive oil cake for ages and Jeanine Donofrio and Jack Mathew’s new cookbook Love & Lemons Everyday had the perfect recipe. I made some modifications, but as someone who hates measuring, this cake was simple to make and I’m pleased with how this came out.
