Happy Happy New Year, my dear Kitchen Operas readers! How lovely it has been to spend time with family, friends, and relaxing over the holidays — I hope you all had wonderful celebrations as well. Mr. KitchenOperas and I hosted dinner for 17 (!!!) on Christmas Eve, and had such a lovely time with everyone. […]
There’s a gluten-free and vegan bakery in Toronto, called Bunner’s. They are famous for their cinnamon buns, and I’ve been dying to go visit to try them. My personal trainer, Neil, really loves their cinnamon buns, and was trying to get me to go for a long bike ride with the temptation of gluten-free cinnamon […]
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 […]
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 […]
Over the years I have made many batches of hummus, but there’s one I make all the time. And so for our first Vegan MoFo 2013 hummus recipe what better place to start than the one I make all the time? This is my “House Hummus”. I’ve taken it to my gluten-free bread baking classes, […]
So what’s a girl to do when her fridge is full of Brown Rice Rejuvelac? Why, make vegan cheese, of course!!! Blogging along with this year’s Vegan MoFo challenge really got me thinking about what foods I like that are both vegan and gluten-free… and I got sad when cheese wasn’t on that list. So […]
I had some of my bridesmaids over for a lovely tea cocktail party, and we of course needed nibblies. The morning of the party, I was preparing all of my dips, spreads, gluten-free crackers, and cocktail ingredients. I then hopped in the shower and had a brainwave! I had mini bell peppers in the fridge, […]
One very last India post for you — and this is one of my favourite recaps! We were lucky to go to two different spice plantations when we were in South India: one in Goa, and one in Periyar (Kerala). The pictures in this post are from both spots. We had two lovely guides, both […]
We’ve been doing a lot of salads around here lately, and it’s been a lot of the same thing over and over again… delicious versions of either our veggie Caesar salad over Romaine or my lemony arugula salad. But after a while, 2 salad options get a bit tiring, but we still want salad. So […]
Reader Sarina inspired me to come up with a vegan version of Spanakopita. I used coconut oil and a baked almond feta. And it’s totally worth making!!
