Party food allergy nightmare

[dirtydirtysucker]

Party on Saturday, I am slowly realising the true extent of the horror that is multiple party food allergy nightmare.

Child 1: no dairy, eggs or soya
Child 2: no dairy, eggs or sugar
Child 3: no dairy, eggs or wheat

oh and we are vegetarian. So no meat or fish. I think I am going to be doing a party spread of fruit and veg. Maybe with the odd bean tossed in. Any ideas for finger foods that are not processed crap and don't contain:

dairy, eggs, soya, sugar, wheat, meat or fish?

Sounds like a right slap up meal, doesn't it....?

??? any help?

I know the feeling! The sugar is the tricky one - all the cakes and buns I make are gluten, milk and eggfree (and soya free not deliberately it's just the way it happens).

Have a look here: coeliac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=other

where there are lot of glutenfree/eggfree/milkfree recipes and in actual fact you can convert standard recipes easily (Dove's Farm gf flour, Pure sunflower margarine and 3 heaped tablespoons of cornflour and one tablespoon of water to replace each egg).

When you say sugar is it actual sugar - can you use honey (that's an easy substitution or use Agave syrup (Tesco have it).

Vegan recipes are a brilliant resource in this sort of situation - all you have to do is substitute Dove's Farm gf flour and maybe replace soya flour with gram flour in your case:

Good luck!

thanks for that, very kind!
i am not sooo worried about the sugar issue, as the mum is going to bring a sugar free cake, and there will be plenty of fruit and other nice things she can eat
the wheat one foxed me but i have now found jam tarts in sainsburys which are free from wheat, egg and milk, and also thought she could have rice cakes with pate on, plus veg crisps, stuffed vine leaves, hummus with cut up veggies, so that's a start!

really appreciate your help, thank you

Can you serve some things that contain eggs, sugar etc and label them. Or does the whole party have to be free of these ingredients? I personally don't think you can do it! It's tough but the children are going to be in world where these things are so I'd say go for the labelling option. Unless they'd expire at the scent of egg, in which case carrot sticks all round. Are they anaphylactic shock type allergic or just a bit allergic (sugar??).

Sounds a nightmare and I feel sorry for you and the children!

yes i can serve foods that contain those things, it's not severe anaphylactic allergies, luckily for them and for me! also found out today child 3 does eat wheat. Phew. thanks all for advice
