Gluten-Free Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
I modified my mother's chicken and sausage gumbo recipe to make it gluten-free. Good gumbo is hard to find for my friend with a wheat allergy. The wheat flour roux is the key ingredient for any gumbo. After experimenting with a few gluten-free alternatives, I find that a light brown millet flour roux thickens the gumbo and gives an excellent taste nearly equal to wheat flour. Most people won't notice the difference.

Scaloppine al Marsala
Sometimes called veal Marsala, this is the classic Italian dish made with thinly sliced veal scaloppine. It's a recipe typical of Sicily, where the best Marsala comes from. Serve with plenty of bread to mop up the sauce.
