Hi! Welcome To My Berkeley Kitchen. I’m Shahla. I’m a food lover, “cooker” (as my daughter calls me), recipe developer, certified natural chef and an allergy friendly mom.  I share tips and stories on how to find joy in and out of the kitchen with food allergies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Instagram post 2195964012138051774_1511038710 Today we’re collaborating with a group of friends to celebrate the beautiful cookbooks of the season, gifted to us by @tenspeedpress & @clarksonpotter as part of their cookbook ambassador program.👏. . Here are honey-soy glazed chicken wings from the Jubilee Cookbook by @tonitiptonmartin. These flavors are my favorite: honey, soy, garlic, brown sugar & ginger. The wings are marinated & basted to create a sticky, sweet, carmelized glaze. The kids loved this one! And I love this gorgeous book ❤️. . Be sure to check out the hashtag #ambassadorcookbookclub to see what everyone made! Follow the accounts I’ve tagged above - they are such lovely inspiring ladies who love cookbooks. There’s so much new inspiration out there - just in time for gift giving & the holidays. #jubileecookbook. Thanks for the free book @clarksonpotter ❤️. . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #f52grams #f52sides #thecookfeed #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #feedfeedglutenfree #howiholiday #partyfood #appetizers #cherrybomb #wellandgoodeats #cookserious #foodandwine #cookbooks #saveurmag #saveurcookbookclub
Instagram post 2194471824031821577_1511038710 When I first started blogging, these little bites were such the trend 😬. I have a few on my blog that I’ll share again this month like these apricot ginger energy bites. Recipe link in my profile ☝🏼. . This version reminds me of the sweet little treats called #ladoo my mom used to bring home growing up but just healthier. They may not be trendy anymore but they’re a nice alternative this time of year. I still like to make them & stash away in my freezer. They go down nicely with a big cup of chai or coffee 🧡 #top8allergenfree, #refinedsugarfree & #vegan. . . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeedglutenfree #healthyfoodshare #eatingwell #healthyfood #healthyeating #sweettreat #sweets #desifood #nobake #realsimple #fromscratch #nutritiousanddelicious #goodmoodfood #blissballs #todayfood #thekitchn #allergyfriendlyfood #gerbsallergyfriendlyfoods
Instagram post 2193789924489451689_1511038710 I hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are...we’re getting lots of rain so I’m dreaming of this cozy pizza scene. We ate a safe meal here last year for my hubby’s bday ❤️ . With the holidays in full swing, I am trying to remember to say no to things....yes to no 🤪! . . This time of year brings an added pressure to be everything to everyone & that’s hard for anyone to keep up. It also means lots of food everywhere, which means extra coordination in keeping things safe & fun for my girl with #foodallergies. . . @thenutlessbaker posted today “choose the child, not the food” and I couldn’t agree more. If you have a friend who has #foodallergies it can be easy to forget how challenging the holidays can be for us. So centering a few activities for your friends or even for your own family that are non-food related takes the pressure off. Don’t worry there will be lots of baking but in between it’s nice to get breaks too 🙏❤️ . . Off to go get our tree in a bit! Happy weekend everyone ☃️❄️🎄 . . #myberkeleykitchen #foodallergyfamily #holidays #allergyfriendlyholiday #berkeleylife #sharetheeverymom #foodallergy #foodallergymom #allergicliving #mindbodyandsoul #holidayfood #howiholiday #sffoodie #foodblogger #top8free #top8freecooking #diningoutwithfoodallergies #kidswithfoodallergies #selfcare #mentalhealthmonday
Instagram post 2191698328491083966_1511038710 I can’t keep track of all these freaking holidays 😳🤷🏽‍♀️🤪but I heard it’s #nationalcookieday so luckily I have a sweet tooth & dug this one out of the archives. . These chocolate chip almond butter cookies are free from dairy, gluten & flour. A little flaky sea salt on top is 👌🏼Almonds are the one nut my girl can eat so we use it a lot over here...If you can eat almonds, I hope you enjoy these!

Instagram post 2191221793313141195_1511038710 Today is Day 3 of our #allergyfriendly reverse advent calendar & coincidentally #givingtuesday . Each day my friends & I (see tags above) will be sharing in stories & suggesting an allergy-friendly food item that you can donate to your local food bank for the holidays. Swipe left to see all items & schedule. . . Food costs tend to be higher for people with #foodallergies & #celiac so this is a nice way to give back & make food accessible for all 👏If you join us, be sure to tag us at #allergyfriendlyholiday & we’ll share your pics in stories. Donate what you can🧡.. . These persimmons were gifted to me by mom’s friend. Ther’ye the crunchy #fuyu kind -I meant to do something with them like throw them in a pretty salad but instead I just ate them all 😉🧡 . . #myberkeleykitchen #farmersmarketinspo #persimmons #foodbank #berkeleyfoodie #510families #berkeleylife #freefromfood #foodallergy #foodallergyfamily #allergicliving #feedthehungry #farmtotable #foodjustice #foodjustice #inseasonnow #makesmewhole #glutenfree #celiacdisease #celiacliving

Instagram post 2186520068664685062_1511038710 Join our friends( tagged in this pic) this holiday season to participate in an Allergy-Friendly Reverse Advent Calendar! We start Dec 1 ❄️. . Instead of getting a little surprise every day leading up to Christmas, help us by donating an allergy-friendly food item to help food allergy families in need( swipe left). . . Food costs are much higher for people w/ food allergies. Items most commonly donated to food banks are typically not allergy-friendly. The most common food bank staples are foods like peanut butter, ramen noodles & spaghetti. . . We’ll post a suggested item to donate to a local food bank of your choice. You can use our prompts or think of 1-24 things that would help a food allergy family.. Tag us with your donations & we’ll share too ❤️ . Pick up items at once or everyday. Chose whichever food bank you wish to donate, make sure to specify they are allergy-friendly & who they are intended for. . Read more about it on Danielle @allergictraveller insta post today & thanks to Danielle for organizing 🎄⛄️ . . #myberkeleykitchen #foodallergyfamily #allergicliving #foodallergy #allergicliving #redsneakersforoakley #foodallergymom #510families #foodbanks #sfmagazine #kidswithfoodallergies #whereyoulive #sharetheeverymom #parentsirl #allergiesirl #feedthehungry #allergiclivingmagazine #freefrom #sffoodie #berkeleyside #berkeleylife #celiacdisease
Instagram post 2185174292235669502_1511038710 My friend @champagneandcookies and I made @milkandcardamom’s Berry Bapa Doi for our #friendsgiving feast. It’s a delicious baked dessert made w/ sweetened condensed milk, cream & yogurt. It would make an awesome holiday dessert. Recipe is in her new cookbook, #milkandcardamom ❤️ . Hetal also gives a sub for making it #top8free & #vegan. We kept it seasonal, left out berries & topped it w/ pomegranate arils, @justdatesyrup “Just Pom Syrup” which is 💯 yummy 👌🏼 . Also, pictured in back are @millielottietotes denim wraps. They would make a thoughtful hostess gift too. #notsponsored just love all these ladies who work hard everyday to create such beautiful things & share them with us all ❤️. . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #sharemytable #thebakefeed #justdatesyrup #thecookfeed #eatingwell #holidaydesserts #howiholiday #bakefromscratch #weekendbaking #meatlessmonday #womensupportingwomen #shoplocal #ediblesf #sffoodblogger #bombesquad
Instagram post 2184315733692332770_1511038710 I’m a big fan of cranberries & every year I’d be the one eating & hoarding all the leftover sauce 😬.. . So a few years ago, I decided to turn our traditional cranberry sauce into a chutney of sorts in an effort to get my family to eat more of it too. This one is for the grown ups because it’s got a little kick 💥 🔥 . It’s flavored with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, orange juice & zest. Add crushed red pepper flakes & a little sweet aged balsamic vinegar at the end. The recipe makes enough to freeze for later but you can reduce it by half too ❤️Recipe on the blog, link in profile ☝🏼 . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #goopmake #goodmoodfood #chutney #cranberrysauce #eatwellbewell #eatingfortheinsta #thecookfeed #inseasonnow #edibleeastbay #cookit #easyrecipe #f52holidayswap #tastingtable #bombesquad #recipeoftheday #cranberries #thanksgivingdinner #allergyfriendly #allergyfree #f52sides
Instagram post 2182406586285439815_1511038710 New Post! 🍁Today I’m sharing all things holiday & party decor on the blog. Here are some photos & vid ( swipe left) from our Friendsgiving #berkeleybash my friends @champagneandcookies, @sixsnippets & I co-hosted together in October. . . We keep an allergen free home. Even though this was a ladies only lunch( sorry boys 😬) & my kids weren’t in attendance, I thought it worthy to share a post on how & why we kept our party allergen free ❤️. . There are lots of fun bits in here for everyone including budget friendly & party planning tips too. “7 Tips For Hosting & Organizing an Allergen-Free Friendsgiving”, link in profile ☝🏼.. . . #myberkeleykitchen #berkeleybash #friendsgiving #holidaydecor #foodandwine #womensupportingwomen #berkeleylife #thanksgivingdecor #thanksgivingprep #sharemytable #tablescapes #onmytable #diy #bayareafoodblogger #sffoodscene #sffoodie #sffoodphotographer #farmtotable #cagrown #inseasonnow #allergenfree #allergensafe
Instagram post 2180828807802794681_1511038710 Here’s my golden beet dip I’m sharing because it’s that time of year where we all need something bright & it doesn’t hurt that it’s good for you too, right? ☺️. Recipe is in my bio, link in profile ☝🏼 . It’s an easy #sheetpan dish of roasted golden beets, puréed w/ cooked lentils, cumin, EVOO & garlic. Drizzle with tempered oil that’s lightly crushed with cumin seeds & garnished w/ pom arils, radishes & parsley. #vegan & #top8free ☀️ . . #myberkeleykitchen #f52holiday #feedfeedvegan #thecookfeed #tastemade #bombesquad #goopmake #beets #inseasonnow #cagrown #sffoodie #eatingwelleats #theartofeatingwell #healthyish #eatrealfood #feelgoodfood #sunsetmagazine #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgivingprep #holidayappetizers
