Foolishly I arranged a dinner party from some dear friends, and then realised we have others staying over this weekend. The combined effect of the various dietary restrictions around the table is:
most crucially: no sulphites - which means virtually no ingredients from a jar or tin, no cured meat/ bacon/ chorizo, salami, sausage, no dried fruit, no bread (organic versions of some preserved food are ok), no cornflour, no wine or beer, no vinegar
no fish
no nuts
no milk (yoghurt is ok, and sheep's cheese)
no tomatoes,
v limited fibrous fruit or veg
I'm usually quite an adventurous cook, but I exhausted all my ideas for this lot last weekend (when I also had a coeliac in the mix!). I could just do a roast of some kind but I'd welcome other suggestions please. It's actually the tomatoes that I find hard to cook without...
