One of my very favourite flavour combinations is dark chocolate + fresh raspberries. I’ve put the combo into a gluten-free tart before, with my Raspberry Dark Chocolate Tart. But it uses both cream and butter — and I want my dairy-free friends to be able to have dessert too… especially as I was invited for […]
I didn’t realise this until now, but today marks my 6-Year-Blogiversary for KitchenOperas!!!! Wow. SIX YEARS AGO I started my little corner of the food blog world, and I can hardly believe it. Thanks for all the love and support along the way. My favourite response is when I hear you say: “I tried one […]
Happy Hallowe’en, my fellow ghosts and goblins! I hope you’re up to some ghoulish fun today to celebrate!
So this weekend, I rocked a 10k race!!!!!!!! I was a part of the run at our local zoo, and I’ve been training for this all year — it was my goal race of the year, and I am so proud to say I did it! The course was supremely hilly (as I found out […]
Is it dessert? Is it breakfast? Yes to both. Chia pudding is a great sweet breakfast option, that packs in omega-3s, fibre, and protein (chia seeds alone contain 7g of protein per 1/4 cup!). Also, it tastes like kheer (Indian rice pudding, one of my favourite desserts) — I love the almond & cardamom combination! […]
We’ve been fortunate enough to celebrate special occasions with our extended family lately. And whenever we do, we meet at my parents’ house, and my Mum lays out a gorgeous spread. And my job is to bring dessert, which I am more than happy to do! For one of our family dinners, I wanted to […]
My friend Michael really loves pie. So when we went over for dinner last night, I was in charge of bringing a gluten-free dessert, and I knew pie was the way to go. We got some gorgeous local + organic rhubarb in our veggie box this week, so when we were at the market on […]
Dear Dad, Happy Father’s Day! Thanks for always being an amazing, loving, empathetic, and supportive Dad. Even though we have the same birthday, thanks for always giving up your birthday, so I could blow out the candles. Thanks for always taking me on the best roller-coasters, and the even-better rides at the zoo! Thanks for […]
One of my favourite desserts from my gluten-eating-days-of-yore was a madeleine, the perfect little French cake. The French author, Marcel Proust, waxed poetic about his madeleines and how they evoked involuntary memories, but I just love how they taste. And they’re best when they’re light and fluffy, and you can dip them into a cup […]
Sometimes you just need chocolate, but you don’t have any in the house. Well these no-bake cookies are ready in less than 20 minutes, without any baking required. I originally made these way back in the summer of 2012, when I received a copy of Vicki’s Vegan Kitchen by Vicki Chelf from Thomas Allen & […]
