If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you probably already know I love Mediterranean food. Whether I’m choosing a restaurant or choosing what I’m going to cook for dinner, recipes inspired by Italian, Provençal, Greek, Turkish, and North African culinary traditions usually make it to the top of my list.
I’m not only a fan of these dietary traditions because they’re so tasty, but also because studies have shown that Mediterranean diets have less-than-joyous symptoms .
Being a nutritionista who counts herself rather handy in the kitchen, I thought I’d tackle the problem head-on by creating a gluten-free flatbread that would be right at home at any tapas. I’m so pleased with how it turned out, but even the tastiest flatbread recipe is a little ho-hum without a great spread to go with it. Since I was on a roll, I went ahead and created a sweet potato hummus that pairs perfectly with this flatbread. I love the rich orange colour the sweet potato gives this recipe. It’s so much prettier than your average hummus! It’s also higher in antioxidant carotenoids and fibre!

We don’t have a lot of kitchen gadgets, but the one I use the most would be my kitchen scale that I received as a Christmas present.
I would love a convection oven. I think the next oven we get will be a convection. With a family of 8, we are regularly cooking on both oven racks, so it’d be great to an oven that evenly cooks. 🙂
The kitchen gadget I can’t live without is my slowcooker.

Great prize by the way – thanks
Not sure it’s a gadget, but I couldn’t live without a microwave. It does it all!

Surprisely enough. I cannot live without the electric can opener (or a can opener in general)..
I simply cannot live without my stand mixer. I bought it when I was unemployed with very little “spare” money, but never once did I regret my decision. I use it any time I bake!
I absolutely could not do without my nice Red Kitchen Aid Mixer
The Toaster oven is essential. I prefer my food warm and it’s a sinch with leftovers especially. I have made a choice not to use a microwave. So it’s either the oven or stove top. With a baby I find myself rewarming my food a couple of times over. Hopefully I can get a better quality one so that I can cook in it too.
my spatula / flipper its always being used!!! thanks
I cannot live without my coffeemaker. Thank you for the giveaway!
Hands down my crockpot.. growing up my mother never used one, and it was just introduced into my life a few years back, and it is an absolute life saver! 4 kids, and a busy career my crockpot makes it possible to always have home cooked meals!
My microwave! Makes things quick & easy!
That’s a tough one, probably my Vitamix blender. My lemon juicer would be a close second 🙂
A veggie peeler.
Cannot live without my can opener…weather it be an electric one or a manual one……without it I could not get anything out of a can to use for ingredients to make all sorts of dishes, soups, pastas, drinks etc. How else would I get cans open……….
Stove, fridge/freezer, running water.
I can’t live without my blender. My husband and I use it to prepare healthy meals for ourselves and our 18 month old. We recently welcomed our 2nd bundle of joy into the world and now that we’re busy with 2 little mouths to feed the Panasonic Steam Convection Oven would be so handy to have! Thank you for an incredible giveaway!

I can’t live without my Ninja blender
My handheld immersion blender, saves me so much time and is so easy to use and clean!
I could never go back to the days of trying to pour hot soup into a blender.
My vitamix blender!
I can’t live without my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer and my garlic press!
I think it would have to be my blender; I wouldn’t be able to make all my nut milks without it! 🙂
I couldn’t live without my vitamix since I have this wonderful appliance it change my life in eating and having better habits.
I can not live without my kitchen TONGS! Believe it or not, I never used these until I started my culinary classes. It was a required tool, and not I can’t be in any kitchen without them!
I use my Instant Pot or Fagor Multi-function Pressure Cooker all the time and just love them both. Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in on your give-away. Enjoy the rest of your trip to Vancouver Island. Bless you.

One of the most useful prizes I’ve seen.
I Kinda wanted to see more about it in the video…
Does it require a water hookup?
Does it have to be installed like the way you have it?
So many questions!!
I cannot live without my stand mixer, nothing fancy but so helpful while baking 🙂
Love my blender.
For this recipe I’m wondering what I can use instead of the almond flour. I can’t have gluten or almonds either! 🙁
I can’t live without my fancy veggie peeler! It creates such beautiful strips of carrot, cucumber, beets etc. I use it to make my salads, grain bowls and asian soups look extra special and yummy!
I couldn’t live without my husband! He is the best chef in my kitchen. Without him I would never eat so well!
My potato peeler is something I can’t live without. It is used most every day. I crack eggs open, slit open bags and yes peel potato and orange zest. It’s fantastic.
Hey Ryan,
It’s a great piece of equipment! For your questions…
1. No water hookup required – it has a reservoir you can fill.
2. Can be wall mounted like in the video or simply work on your counter top.
You can get more info here: http://www.panasonic.com/ca/steam/
Hope this helps!
Not really for cooking but I couldn’t live without my tea maker. Had it three years and use it every day.
My mandolin. Cause it cuts vegs awesome and so fast. Like onions especially as its so quick and helps to be tear-free
I just followed a link from your sweet potato toasties to this. What could I substitute for the buckwheat flour in the flatbread?
Hey Anita! You could try using red fife, almond flour, oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend! We’ve never tried it, but those may work. Let us know how it turns out 🙂

This flatbread came out so delicious! However, my mix seemed a little loose so I added maybe a couple tablespoons extra buckwheat flour and the bread came out pretty dry. Do you think the extra flour was the culprit or is this a dryer bread that’s meant to be paired with a spread? Thanks!
Hey Christine! I think the added buckwheat flour was the culprit for the dryness. While this bread is best paired with a spread, they shouldn’t be super dry. I hope that helps 🙂

I absolutely can’t live without my food processor! I use it for so much of my cooking–from pesto to hummus to smoothies, even, sometimes.
I love what you did on the goods definitely a follower now.
