I remember perusing through Hallie Klecker’s first cookbook, The Pure Kitchen, last October while I was enjoying a little gluten free girl time with a few of my fellow bloggers in Oceanside, California.

All Caesar’s are created equal, right? Not so fast! Any balanced study of history (ancient and culinary) will help you understand that there are many different ways to govern (or garnish).
