TIP OF THE DAY: Red Caviar Bagel

For a special-occasion bagel, serve the bagel with affordable salmon caviar:

It’s a no-brainer to put smoked salmon on a bagel.

But how about salmon caviar?

Try salmon caviar instead (or in addition to) the smoked salmon. It’s available at specialty food stores and online.

  • Add a layer of crème fraîche instead of cream cheese to a sliced bagel (we like it toasted).
  • Garnish with some snipped chives.
  • Serve with Russian-style tea: black tea brewed strong with lemon (no milk—that’s British-style).
  • A glass of Champagne or other sparkling wine would do equally well.

    BOOK: The Divvies Bakery Cookbook

    More than 12 million Americans have food allergies, and more than 30 million are lactose intolerant.

    The bakery Divvies—the name evokes divvying up the goodies—was founded when Lori Sandler learned that her young son had several allergies. She wanted to make baked goods and candy that the entire family and friends would enjoy.

    Divvies bakery was born, turning out sweets made without peanuts, tree nuts, eggs or milk (they are not wheat-free). Despite the absence of these key baking ingredients, the treats are delicious. They were a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

    The fame of Divvies has grown, and now there’s The Divvies Bakery Cookbook: No Nuts. No Eggs. No Dairy. Just Delicious! (A quote from THE NIBBLE’s review is on the book jacket.)

    The book is divided into occasions for serving baked goods: At home, at school, on the road and parties.

    The Divvies Cookbook has more than 130
    pages of allergy-free recipes.

    There are plenty of tips and information, including an extensive list of ingredients that can be used for allergy-free cooking in general.

    So, jump into Divvies’ blondies, brownies, carrot cake with “cream cheese” frosting, chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon buns, layer cake, muffins and fun specialties such as wafflewiches. Everyone will beat a path to your kitchen door.
