This recipe couldn't be easier -- one slices some carrots and beets (one is supposed to peel the beets first), and put on a sauce which just takes a few minutes to mix. Fiber, fiber, fiber! The recipe hails, too, from Paris, so it has that certain je ne sais quoi for those of us in the States. (Photo above has nada to do with recipe or site Chocoate & Zucchini, it's just another lush photo licensed by Creative Commons.) Please ensure that the Dijon mustard you use for the recipe is gluten free. (Note: I made it without Dijon mustard, as I didn't happen to have any, and it was still good, but probably would have been better with the Dijon. I also used plain organic balsamic vinegar).
And, for a bonus, on the site itself, the recipe is called "Carottes et Betteraves Râpées" (en francais, bien sur).
The woman who runs the site -- and has penned a book of the same name -- is Clotilde Dusoulier. There's something refreshing about the fact that I had to go to the "About" page to actually find her name!

This article in the November, 2010 "Runner's World" re the GF diet was discovered by your one and only, while I was working out a few minutes ago. Yeah, print magazines! It restates what I and other gluten free epicureanistas have known all along: the GF diet can be healthier mainly because it requires one to go back to the basics -- beans, nuts, fruits and veggies, meat cooked without a lot of additives. But it's not necessarily healthier, per se. See my page, "Gluten Free for a Healthy Weight?" It also affirms that some GF grains -- quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat -- to name a few, are, indeed, chock full of nutrients, fiber, etc. Please see my blog post (December 10, 2010) about the healthier GF grains: "Amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa: gluten free grains at the the top of the heap!"
