Coming from a Ukrainian family with a rich tradition in serving up the delicious filled- dough delights (her family ran and still has a hand in the Winnipeg institution Sevala's, now Sevala's Ukrainian Deli and Catering,) not having perogies on a holiday plate simply wasn't an option. So, Amanda took matters into her own hands – literally. She tried and tweaked gluten free (GF) recipes for two years until she finally formulated a dough was as light and elastic as traditional perogies. Instead of keeping the secret to herself, she knew she had to share, and started selling her gluten free perogies at a craft sale in 2016 and by 2018 had her own shop and dedicated production facility. Amanda Lynn Gluten Free has offered over 20 varieties of perogies over the years and there are currently 14 different kinds for sale on their website. They feature a perogy of the month, which allows them to highlight new and interesting flavours such as organic sweet potato and jalapeno or fresh mushroom medley. They also offer cabbage rolls, take and bake pizzas, and cookie dough. And you can buy her signature dough to concoct your own culinary creations. As someone who deals with more than one dietary restriction, Amanda understands the importance of offering dairy- free and vegan options as well. Her facility is certified nut-free and they are conscious of egg allergies. "Everyone deserves to eat well and enjoy what they are eating," she says. "When you have one gut issue, there usually is another one hand in hand with it. We can cater to so many different dietary restrictions that make perogy eating easy, fun, delicious and stress free."
