The Refashioned Bean

Claire Harrison, according to her Blog – ‘The Food ReFashionista’, is semi-retired professional writer and editor from Ottawa who has two major interests: writing and cooking and through blogging wants to expand her and her readers culinary world.
She finds herself gluten-sensitive, lactose-intolerant, and has to diet for health reasons.
She began her quest for healthier eating by re-fashioning favorite dishes and those with potential, to create her own recipes that would help her and others, that find themselves in the same position by writing and posting her findings and creations on-line.
She has since branched out and created a second blog “The Bean Bake Blog”, using a basic recipe from the Ontario Bean Producers’ she has begun refashioning the Lemon Bean Cake recipe (pg. 20) into a number of , sweet or savory alternative, healthy and nutritious ‘Bean Bakes’ dishes like – Cauliflower-Salsa Bean Bake and Dip.  Check all the different recipes out – click on the “Bean Bake Blog” link above.
