The goods on flour-free for Pesach
Accommodating Passover restrictions poses a special challenge when it comes to baking or making dishes that call for flour. Pereg Natural Foods, based in New Jersey, offers the following recipes this holiday season.
QUINOA ALMOND COOKIES

Cook time: 10 minutes
Yield: 16 cookiesIngredients:
1 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup almond flour
