SippitySup's Flourless, Butterless Orange Almond Torte

Gluten free? Butterless dessert? Are you kidding? If your New Year's resolution is to eat in a more healthy manner, then it might be worthwhile to seek out recipes that cut down a bit on butter, but look for recipes that don't wimp out on flavor. Click this link for a delicious Orange Almond Torte recipe; "Andrew Cake" is what Greg Henry of the excellent food blog SippitySup calls it (after the recipe he "stole" from his buddy Andrew Wilder). We love Greg's humorous food videos, and the recipes and points of view he features are always spot on. Speaking of New Year's resolutions, we can all use a little more humor in the New Year, too!

Jay Johnson - I had a Skype interview this week with Greg Henry, the king of Food is Fun and proponent of being yourself and enjoying the skin you're in - particularly when you're in the kitchen. Greg's recipe blog is filled with his expert photography (being a former celebrity photographer doesn't hurt, and now his food subjects are much more cooperative), videos, and stories about his travels and adventures. SippitySup is the site, and you'll see features on wine (penned by Greg's brother, a CIA-trained chef - that's the "Sippity" part) and food (Greg grew up around well-prepared food, and he gives us creative, healthy twists on classic dishes - he's the "Sup" part). Our mouth waters when he prepares great dishes, like the Braised Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and Balsamic in the following video.
