If you, your child or someone you know has an allergy – finding something to cook can get rather difficult.
90% of all food reactions are caused by merely 8 common food allergens. These are eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy.
We’ve already brought you 10 delicious allergy-friendly dessert recipes for people who seem to be allergic to anything and everything. However, while it would be nice if everything in life was as sweet as desserts and we could eat them all day, everyday – part of a healthy lifestyle is balance and that balance includes balanced meals (this means you gotta eat your veggies!).
Not to worry, however, for those whose catchphrase is “I can’t eat that“, we have you sorted 8 times over with the following recipes that can be made free of the top 8 allergens and all animal products.
