Hi, I'm Nicole!

Writer, Cookbook Author, Gluten-Free Recipe Developer

Welcome to Cucina Nicolina, where I've been sharing my original recipes since 2006. My carefully tested gluten-free baking recipes as well as the occasional vegetarian and vegan dish, are always made with simple, wholesome ingredients. I believe in real food, lots of vegetables, and balance, too, because I dearly love cake.


Recipe of the Month


The Best Blackberry Apple Cake

Two seasonal favorites combine in a tender, whole grain cake that's easily made gluten-free. Top with a little powdered sugar for a lovely autumnal dessert.
