Vegan with a nut allergy?

[Belmo]

Is anyone vegan with a nut allergy?
I've been thinking about going vegan for ages (pescetarian now). But one of the dc's is very allergic to nuts/peanuts- we don't have them or anything which 'may contain traces' in the house.
It's daunting- so many recipes are nut based, and all the lovely chocolate/ice cream everyone shares seems to be 'may contain'

I wouldn't be asking said dc to go vegan incidentally- she's pescetarian now, I don't feel it would be fair to expect her to limit her diet any further. But I'd love to be able to cook vegan at home.

I think it would be difficult to the point of impracticality. Sorry.

My friend is vegan with a bad nut allergy. She just makes a lot of things herself - she has an ice cream maker and makes her own sorbets and cakes, pestos etc - but she did that anyway before going vegan. You can be a vegan an not eat nut roast, have nut garnishes/snacks. Most commercial stuff want to cover themselves legally so it is easier to say "may contain..." in case of problems.

My family are mixed my DP is omni and the kids vegetarians (they eat cheese and have eggs in cakes). I tend to make vegan food then DP can have a piece of griddled meat or fish on the side if he gets a craving and kids can have cheese seperate to sprinkle on top. My DD is very allergic to sesame so no tahini, sesame oil etc for us and so many commercial breads and pies etc that she could eat are now "may contain..." that we just avoid them and bake at home and freeze for her. She has had problems eating out though as those pesky sesame seeds seem to get everywhere even into dishes that they aren't supposed to be in.

I tried but being allergic to nuts and tomatoes made it near impossible. Not so much making your own food from scratch but you couldn't eat out and you couldn't buy premade anything.

I am acquainted (online) with a not insubstantial number of nut-allergic vegans, and they seem to manage OK. You can replace nuts with seeds in a lot of recipes.

The type of vegan food you might find in mainstream cafes is probably nut-free (or at least no nuts deliberately added) anyway. E.g. baked potato & beans, chips etc. And if you go to a vegan cafe there should be more choice, and some of it won't have nuts in.

Sainsburys makes some vegan nut-free ice cream I think. And Plamil chocolate is all vegan and made in a nut-free factory.
