What on earth do I cook for a celiac with lactose allergy as well? |
My mate can't stomach wheat (gluten or Dairy produce, so what wonderful cullerny dish can I dish up, oh by the way she also is allergc to shellfish :0( there is a wonderful cookbook called "The Allergy Free Cookbook" you can very likely get it inexpensively on eBay. One of my daughters has celiac type allergies and is allergic to eggs and my other daughter has some opposite allergies on top of that I babysit a child who has completely different food allergies from my two. This book covers all th major allergies and gives suggestions for substitutions in popular dishes. This helps me a lot because I never know what to use in place of soething that I cannot use. Also, check out Namastefoods.com they sell mixes for breads, pizza crust, muffins, etc that are all wheat, gluten, egg, dairy, potato,corn and soy free. This is wonerful because my daughter cannot have wheat or corn and many of hte gluten free products I find have cornstarch or corn productsi n them. The mixes they offer are really good too- you are definitely not giving up taste. Another suggestion I have is The Gluten Free Gourmet books- she has some great recipes and when you learn what you can substitute for dairy you can really put these recipes to good use. DOnt be afraid to experiment in the kitchen. If you like soy sauce (a big no no for a GF diet- try Tamari sauce in its place- this is good for chicken or beef stir fry with veggies- very easy to cook and my whole family loves it. Marinate some chicken in Tamari and put it on the grill. Pasta- instead of regular wheat pasta try Tinkyada- it is made with brown rice flour- it has a slightly different texture but tastes great. We generally use brown rice, brown rice pasta, and potatos as our starch, oyu can cook up any vegetable that is acceptable for her dietary needs and there are tons of ways to season and dress up chicken and beef- for gravies, use arrowroot and or any of the acceptable GF flours to thicken it up. It can be very challenging but when you figure out and can focus on what you can use rather than what you cannot- it gets a lot easier Another thing, if eggs are on the no no list, there are some pretty decent egg replacers out there - for baking oyu can even replace 2 eggs with 4 -6 tbsp of flax seed blended with 1 cup of water. Coconut milk can be used to replace regular milk in almost any recipe. Wouldn't it make sense to ask her what she would like? That way you won't go to the trouble of cooking something for her that she can't eat ... spaghetti bolognese Pot Noodle Beef Roulade Celery Heart wrapped in thin steak, casseroled in beef gravy What about a mixed leaf salad. Buy a bag of salad, put it in a large bowl and put in chopped bits and pieces, cucumber, advocado, bacon, chicken, peppers, tomatoes etc then put in some salad dressing and mix it all up with your hand. Then put it on a large soup plate. I work in a pub and get a few celiacs come in they often choose that. Alternatively, ask him to let you know what he likes to eat. x Soup. |
