Vegetarian Star

Gwyneth Paltrow has just did a double on us and made vegetarian/vegan the theme for the Make section the second week in a row on her website Goop.com.

The most recent addition features an interview with Erin McKenna, founder of celebrity adored BabyCakes NYC, a bakery specializing in sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan desserts like cupcakes and cookies.

Gwyneth’s featuring Erin’s recipes for Vanilla Frosting, Chocolate Cupcakes, Lemon Poppy Teacake, and Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Yum!

A few highlights from Gwyneth’s interview with Erin. Don’t forget to check out our interview with Erin when you get the chance.

GOOP: Are there any recipes you are working on that you are excited about? Or are there any old classics you are still trying to master? Will there ever be a vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free Twinkie?

Erin McKenna: I just made donuts a couple weeks ago, which was almost as exciting to me as when I came up with the frosting recipe. I LOVE donuts. I think they have the same appeal as cupcakes and evoke the same feeling. When I announced that we were now serving gluten-free, vegan, soy-free donuts at the bakery everyone lost it! Everyone went into a frenzy and one guy biked from Brooklyn through heavy rain just to try one. Luckily everyone loves them and some say it’s the best thing we make. I love it!!!!!

GOOP: Is spelt gluten-free? It is often a common misunderstanding.

Erin McKenna: Spelt is not gluten-free. It’s an ancestor to wheat and contains gluten. Some people who are wheat sensitive can tolerate spelt but not everyone.
