Many of my clients are apologetic about allergies but in fact I love the challenge of finding a menu that delights and surprises their more sensitive guests.
Gluten Free
Salmon trio – tartar, Gravadlax and parfait with micro shoots and herbs
Rack of Salt Marsh lamb with creamed golden polenta
and a symphony of summer vegetables
White chocolate and passion fruit bavarois with summer fruit compote
Wheat Free
Aubergine palette - involtini, walnut, parsley stuffed baby aubergine
and Iman bayaldi with wild rocket with chargrilled wheat free flat breads
Roasted fillet of scotch beef on a lemon and thyme new potato cake,
fine French beans and homemade Béarnaise sauce
Lemon and banana parfait with Verona chocolate and banana wafers
Nut Free
Ham Hock and Foie Gras terrine
with round lettuce hearts and curried apple compote
Toasted brioche
Pan roasted filet of Sea bream on a roasted garlic
and spinach pomme puree with pepperade and a lemon beurre blanc.
Trio of citrus – lemon brulee, fresh lime cheesecake and blood orange sorbet
It is important for me to point out that unfortunately although a caterer can select an allergen free menu choice, it is viturally impossbile to guarentee an allergen free kitchen. When I am working on a nut-free menu we sanitise everything and remove nuts from the kitchens but this merely reduces the risk of trace rather than irradiating it.

As some one who was recently told I am intolerant to wheat, you have have no idea how exciting seeing this blog is. I used to think these annoying people with made up allergies or intolerances were intorable but now that I actully understand the difference being wheat free has made to my quality of life I am fully converted. The challenge is finding free form food which is exciting and actually tastes good.
ReplyDeleteThese suggested menu's excite me. My tummy is actually rumbling and it is such a relief to know that you get it! You understand that for some people doing small things like catering for them in this way, makes a world of difference.
I can't wait to try this... and I am no longer going to feel guilty for asking for it.
Thank you Julie
