Coeliac recipes
« on: July 25, 2013, 09:24:21 pm »
Hi there, I am having friends for dinner on Sat and my GF is coeliac. Is there a tried and true menu that anyone can suggest. She likes seafood, so thought an entree, and maybe Cyndis GF bread? Or is there another one that is better?  Def dessert as her hubby is a sweet tooth. Suggestions would be most welcome, thanks :)

Quite a Challange.  I would make sea food cocktail with avocado and TMX mayo
                                                        Roast or grill for main
                                                         Baked apple or pears with cream or ice cream, not based on custard.
With this you could forget the bread.  
When I have special visitors,  I often make Lemon Feather Cake.  It is made with potato flour and you can replace the lemon curd with a jam of your choice.

My brother is coeliac and I find the best thing to do is look at a suitable menu then make it gluten free.
Probably avoid gf pasta as it can be tricky depending on brand, you might get gluggy pasta.

If using cured meats,  read the packagibg (Hans brand is usually gf)

Cheese plate/dipsis good, provide rice crackers/gf crackers for everyone to avoid contamination & also so the gf guest doesn't feel different.  Check flavoured cheese labels or stick with simpler ones.

My tried & true when he is coming over is lasagne with gf pasta sheets (from Coles or WW) and using the White Wings brand gf flour (it's fab).

Risotto would be good too.

Mexican dishes are often good. Chilli con carne with corn chips,  rice, guacamole, etc.

Sticky date pudding with above mentioned flour.

Pavlova/Eton mess

Avoid soy sauce (except Fountain brand)

If you are using cornflour,  check that it is not wheaten cornflour (many are,  read the ingredients)

Have a box of Magnums in the freezer :)

Lindt chocolate is a no no.

Any more questions, please ask :) I could go on but I won't!
