Flours & Baking Essentials
Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour
My go-to flour for almost every baking recipe on this site. A reliable cup-for-cup substitute that produces consistently great results in cakes, cookies, muffins, and more.
Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour
Perfect for recipes where you want a rich, nutty flavor and tender crumb. I use this in my raspberry bars, cookies, and anywhere almond flour is called for.
Bob's Red Mill Oat Flour
A staple for my oat flour waffles, muffins, and cookies. Adds a wholesome, slightly sweet flavor to baked goods.
Potato Starch
Essential for Passover baking and great in latkes. Helps create a light, crispy texture that's hard to achieve otherwise.
Gluten-Free Pasta
Jovial Cassava Pasta
Their cassava orzo is a game changer. Cooks up perfectly al dente and works beautifully in my mushroom orzo and pasta salads.
Banza Chickpea Pasta
A great high-protein option. Their chickpea rice orzo is another favorite I keep stocked in the pantry.
Brown Rice Penne
My pick for classic pasta dishes like penne al salmone and spicy chicken pasta. Holds sauce well and has a great bite.
Dairy-Free Alternatives
Violife Cream Cheese
The best dairy-free cream cheese I've found. Creamy and smooth, perfect in my vegan cheesecake frosting.
Follow Your Heart Parmesan
A great dairy-free parmesan. I use it in my meatless meatballs and anywhere I want that savory, cheesy finish.
Miyoko’s Vegan Butter
My top choice for vegan butter, especially in pastry. I used this in my gluten-free puff pastry dough and it performed beautifully.
Earth Balance Buttery Sticks
Another solid vegan butter option, especially convenient in stick form for baking.
So Delicious CocoWhip
A coconut-based whipped topping that's perfect for topping cakes, pies, and hot chocolate.
Califia Farms Heavy Whip
When a recipe calls for heavy cream and you need a dairy-free swap, this is the one I reach for.
Chobani Extra Creamy Oat Milk
Rich and creamy, this is what I use for my oat milk hot chocolate and anywhere I need a dairy-free milk with body.
365 Non-Dairy Whipped Topping
A good everyday dairy-free whipped topping that's easy to find at Whole Foods.
Pantry Staples
Scharffen Berger Chocolate
My favorite chocolate for baking. Melts smoothly with a deep, rich flavor that elevates brownies, lava cake, and chocolate chip cookies.
Bonne Maman Preserves
Beautiful fruit preserves made with simple ingredients. I love using these in my raspberry bars and as fillings.
Aleia’s GF Bread Crumbs
The best gluten-free bread crumbs I've found. Perfect in my chicken nuggets, meatless meatballs, and for crispy coatings.
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
The salt I use in all my recipes. Its lighter, flakier texture means you may need to adjust quantities if using a different brand.
Pure Vanilla Extract
Real vanilla extract makes a noticeable difference in baking. I always use pure extract, never imitation.
Pure Maple Syrup
I use real maple syrup as a sweetener in many recipes, including my maple pecan pie. The flavor is absolutely worth it.
Kitchen Tools I Love
Caraway Pasta Pot
A gorgeous, non-toxic pot I use for all my pasta dishes. Heats evenly and the built-in strainer is so convenient.
USA Pans Quarter Sheet Pan
These pans are workhorses. Heavy-duty, non-stick, and they produce the most even baking results.
Braun Food Processor
Compact and powerful. I use this for pie crusts, latkes, and whenever I need to quickly chop or blend.
Ceramic Pie Dish
A beautiful pie dish that bakes evenly. Used this for my maple pecan pie and coconut oil pie crust.
Cookie Scoops
A cookie scoop ensures perfectly uniform cookies every time. I recommend having both a 2-tablespoon and a ¼-cup size.
Stasher Reusable Bags
Great for storing leftovers, marinating, and freezing. A sustainable alternative to plastic bags that last forever.
Handheld Mixer
Not everyone needs a stand mixer. A good handheld mixer handles frostings, batters, and whipping with ease.
Wilton Bakeware
Their non-stick muffin pans and piping tips are staples in my baking toolkit. Reliable and affordable.
