Queen of the cookie jar

Gone are the days when avoiding gluten or dairy meant deprivation.

Nowadays in our fair city, it’s getting easier than ever to find snacks
and meals that cater to every dietary need without sacrificing flavour.
Case in point: our new favourite gluten-free and mostly dairy-free baked
goods from Toronto’s own Queen
B Pastry, available everywhere from Crema
and Dark Horse
coffee shops to Pusateri’s
and Holt’s Café, even the Bloor
Hot Docs Cinema. The orange olive oil cake will have you dreaming of
a Spanish getaway, and the deeply chocolatey Crownie (it’s half cookie,
half brownie) beats cravings while doubling as a satisfying pre- or
post-workout snack.

When you can work this much magic with teff, chickpea and brown rice
flours, who needs wheat?
