St. Germain is an elderflower liqueur that adds elegance and warm floral notes to this Prosecco cocktail. Finish it off with splash of fresh lemon juice and garnish with a lemon twist.

Crisp gluten-free popovers filled with mushroom and herb paté make a delicious appetizer. They can also be stuffed with your favorite filling, such as chili, bean dip or salsa. Be sure your mini muffin pan is piping hot before adding the batter; a hot pan helps create airy popovers. For best results, do not replace the eggs in this recipe.

Crispy potatoes make a tasty vessel for this savory pepper medley. Prepare and bake these gluten-free potato cups a day ahead and refrigerate them. Reheat on a lined baking sheet for 10 minutes to recrisp. Fill them just before your guests arrive.

Prepare the freshly squeezed lime juice ahead for this refreshing champagne martini or have a bowl of lime wedges at hand. Cut thin slices of limes for a floating garnish.

These gluten-free cheese puffs can be prepared 1 to 2 days ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled for a crowd.

I grew up in an Italian household where Christmas was a generous affair. The presents were piled knee-high underneath a massive ornament-laden tree that filled our entire front room. But the real center of our Christmas was the kitchen where my mother bent over bubbling pots, my aunts rolled pasta dough, my father filled glasses with homemade wine and my cousins and I decorated cookies. Here’s a festive gluten-free, dairy-free spread (antipasto, bread sticks, pasta dish, main course and desserts) that celebrates the very best of Italian tradition—without gluten and dairy. Add a fresh green salad and a side of mashed potatoes or polenta.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of gratitude and family traditions. Growing up in upstate New York, my family always gathered apples from our small backyard orchard in anticipation of the holiday feast. We’d pick the best of our crop—McIntosh, Pippin, Northern Spy—and store them in our cool pantry. When holiday baking began, we’d uncover our apples, still crisp and bright, and create recipes that highlighted them as a star ingredient. Apples fit deliciously into a traditional Gluten-Free Thanksgiving menu.

This gluten free Sweet Pastry Crust works well for all sorts of pies, both sweet and savory.

Brining delivers a turkey that is juicy and tender. This recipe includes apple cider, imbuing the meat with a wonderful flavor. Similar to marinating, brining is an overnight process. Be sure your turkey is completely thawed before placing it in the brine. Remove turkey from the brine and bring to room temperature before roasting. For juicier breast meat, roast your turkey unstuffed.

A delicious gluten-free deep dish apple pie is a great addition to the dessert table. Start with Sweet Pastry Gluten-Free Crust and add this filling of tart apples, fresh spices and cranberries. If desired, arrange decorative cutouts on top and sprinkle with finishing sugar for a special presentation. Make this in a deep dish pie pan.
