    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.
