Wecome to Kim’s Tiny Kitchen!
In my tiny kitchen on Isle La Motte, big things happen.
After years of being a picky eater and then navigating a diagnosis of celiac disease, I turned my love of making healthy(er) food taste amazing into a way to serve others.
Every meal is celiac-safe, made from real ingredients, and designed to bring comfort, joy and flavor back to the table. I make delicious food that will love you as much as you love it; all with more plants, less calories, no gluten, and all the taste!

My homemade red sauce, fried eggplant and “parm” is in quotes because I use goat gouda or Manchego in place of parmesan.

The wonder of goat & sheep dairy
I have been extremely lactose intolerant since I was little (back then it was called being “allergic to milk”). When I finally decided to stop the agony and cut it out of my diet after my celiac diagnosis, my doctor mentioned that goat and sheep dairy are much more digestible and could be an alternative for me. He was right. Life brightened.
And it’s not just chevre! I buy brands of hard goat cheese that are almost indistinguishable from their cow cheese counterparts, including cheddar, mozzarella and gouda. They are a bit pricier, which is why some of my offerings with cheese are bit more expensive. I think it’s worth it!
Here are some facts about goat & sheep dairy that may surprise you:
goat and sheep dairy have smaller fat globules and are easier for digestive enzymes to process
they form softer, more cohesive protein curds in the stomach which allows for faster digestion
the main protein in goat and sheep dairy is A2-beta-casein, vs cow milk which has both A1 and A2-beta-casein. The A1 protein can break down into a peptide called BCM-7, which can cause digestive issues.
goat and sheep dairy contain less lactose than cow milk
both are higher in calcium than cow milk and very rich in vitamins
goat milk is higher in medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs), with are more easily absorbed and used for energy than the long-chain fatty acids found in cow milk
goat milk contains prebiotics that can help promote a health cut microbiome

Please note: I take utmost care when prepping your food to assure safety and quality, but please understand my kitchen is unlicensed. By purchasing my food you acknowledge and accept the risk that comes with that. My home is 100% gluten free with the exception of one cat product that lives away from the kitchen. I am a strict, symptomatic celiac and therefore do not use any products unless they are certified gluten free or are safe in their natural form (ie. single ingredient spices). I do use nuts, soy, goat & sheep dairy, and eggs in my food. I will indicate if any of those are in the dishes in the ingredients.
I also use Certified Gluten-Free Wheat Starch in my kitchen (not in any of the foods I am offering). Certified gluten-free wheat starch is what is left when the gluten protein is washed away from the starch. To be certified gluten-free it has to be tested to be under 20ppm. It is not safe for those with wheat allergies. While I do not use it in my cooking for the Tiny Kitchen and I keep it separate and clean my equipment, some equipment is shared (mixer, oven, etc). Please use your discretion. Here is more information about this ingredient.
This is a brand new endeavor, and there will be hiccups. Please be patient with the tiny kitchen!
