View Full Version : Special diet ideas
I will be having new friends over for dinner. I need ideas for a meal for someone who cannot eat gluten, wheat or dairy and is vegetarian.
So far the only ideas I have had are:
A veggy curry?
Some cabbage rolls stuffed with a mix of mushrooms,onions, rice, maybe some nuts, flavoured with soy sauce or herbs and served with a tomato sauce?
A mushroom stroganoff?
Perhaps some fruit sorbets for desert?
Doesn't seem very special.
Any ideas anyone please?

I had a delicious Thai pumpkin Curry recently. I can recommend that.
I believe it was vegetarian.
A spinach or zucchini soufflé seems to fit the bill too.
Have fun!

Soy sauce contains gluten.
Check into Indian (they are usually vegetarian) cookbooks -- at a bookstore or at your public library or online.
Here's a discussion board with some ideas about any meals (not just dinner) and what to be careful about --

What about a fresh-fruit salad?

Also, some vegetarians turn out to eat fish or shellfish such as shrimp. You might check.
I just checked out Gluten Free Girl. Nice!
Some great ideas there, I will peruse them at leisure. :)
I do have a Japanese soy sauce called Tamari that is wheat and gluten free Wondergirl but thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn't want to mislead anyone else because as you rightly say most Soy sauces aren't.
No fish etc, I did check.
I have cooked vegetarian lots of times, and vegan occasionally, before it's just factoring in the wheat-free and gluten-free at the same time that's making it a little tricky.
Thanks for those resources people. :)
If anyone has more I would love to build up a collection to add to my repertoire.
