Two of my favorite things -- a strawberry-rhubarb dessert, and Led Zeppelin. I like your take on the crumble, which seems much healthier than my old family recipe. I also need to get that DVD into my netflix queue (hopefully it won't make me feel old). :)

Sounds spectacular. Also, I wanted to mention a piecrust from Cooks Illustrated that uses both ice water and cold vodka. Apparently the vodka adds needed moisture without creating as much gluten (which can lead to toughness). I've made this a few times, and it's great. I'm guessing you can substitute whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour. www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2007/11/cooks-illustrated-foolproof-pie-dough-recipe.html Keep up the great work! --nancy g.

Looks really good, AND looks like something I can switch around easily to gluten free... And with everything in the kitchen at the moment, I guess I know what we're having for dessert tonight - Thanks! (Now... just to figure out what the heck to make for dinner)

Hi, it´s me again, Luisa from Argentina! Dear Cookers: could you help me in how do I cook the Grain Amaranto? or Amaranth? should I wash it the same as quinoa before cooking? for how long should I cook it? Thanks and all the best! luisa from Argentina

Hi Luisa, Amaranth can be cooked similar to quinoa (2parts water: 1 part amaranth, simmered about 20 minutes) but it will have a very different texture. The cooked grain is sticky, not separate. And the flavor is strong. That is why amaranth is often used as part of a cooked cereal (like steel cut oats) rather than by itself. It is a very nutritious grain, like quinoa! Try using 1/4 cup amaranth and 3/4 cup steel cut oats, soak overnight, then cook in 4 cups water with a little salt and sweetener to make breakfast porridge. This will make enough to serve 4.

Hi Cynthia and the gang! It is almost strawberry season here in France and I look fwd to trying this yummy recipe! But I am wondering if I can replace the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free type? What would be your advice? Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Ioana in France, As you can see there is not much flour in the recipe. I would suggest replacing it with almond meal or gluten free flour mix - which we have a recipe/video for.

Thank you Cynthia! I live in the almond meal country (it's called frangipane here), so I'll go for it:)
