Well...no..I'm grown up. I am a mother myself now. But I have my mother coming for dinner and as part of her approach to fighting melanoma in her lymph nodes she is restricting her diet from the above mentioned.
I realise it is very restrictive and am thankful i myself don't have to restrict my diet in the same way - I myself am just gluten free vegetarian.
i know there are others out there who will love food and have similar restrictions so thought I would ask for recipes. I don't think it will eb too hard to cater to this for one night so as not to make her feel as outcast as she probably normally does.

For someone like that, I would be looking at something very basic. Maybe seafood cooked simply for mains, a fruit kebab or choc dipped strawberries for dessert. I tried a new recipe today : Choc Fondant Cake. Its gluten free but not dairy or sugar free unfortunately.

No chocolate, it has sugar, and no seafood as she is vegetarian!
thank you frances :)

For main meals vegetable curries - made with coconut milk as the sauce base and served with rice would be good. Hunt around on google for recipe ideas - pumpkin and cocunut make great curry bases and you can spice to suit yourself. Vegetable dahls are great too but take a while to cook. You can cook muffins if you replace the milk with soy milk and banana which add natural sweetness. Can you use Splenda for baking? If so go to their website as they'll be recipes on there which may be suitable. There is also a website which I think goes by the name of the sensitive pantry (??) which may be worth checking out. Rice puddings are good made with vanilla soy milk (check the sugar content) or can be made with plain soy milk and sweetened with banana or other fruits.

vegetarian chili served with quinoa, curries, risottos, falafels served in a salad style meal. If you check out the vegetarian recipe thread there are quite a few options, there, some may need just a little bit of a tweak.

Hi this is a vegan site that is interesting to have a look at.http://www.vegkitchen.com/ I have somewhere amongst all my recipes a list of gluten free flours. As to sugar free, I would leave it out, just check to see if she uses a substitute for sweetness. I make a mini pav minus the sugar and use maize cornflour in it. It doesn't have the same height or volume as an ordinary pav but great for a diabetic.

Sugar/gluten/dairy/egg free vegetarian recipes?? While melanoma is a very severe disease - I think I would personally eat some more protein to help the body along. Vegetarian with no eggs and dairy leaves only lentils, beans and soy - all of which are not easy to digest and not easy for the body to use.
So by the looks you can only do tofu, beans, lentils and vegetables.
No fruit as that contains heaps of sugar, no eggs nor dairy.
All the best to your mum.

She knows what she is doing :) And she eats fruit. Not processed sugar. Anyway, was just after recipes, not opinions! But seems you get more than you bargain for around here! :)

The vegkitchen link that cvgl gave looks very good.There is a link on the left hand side to a video by Miyoko Schinner's Vegan Alfredo Sauce.This recipe is excellent and would recommend it highly.The video is about 9 minutes long from memory.Is quick and easy, just remember to soak the cashews overnight!

Chocolate Icecream 2 Frozen Bananas (soak in warm water until peel comes off easily) 2 tsp of good quality Cocoa Slice Bananas up quickly into 1 cm slices.Put Bananas and Cocoa into a Food Processor and blend until smooth.
To make extra special you can put nuts or coconut with it.Make sure you use a food processor and not a blender.
Serve with fruit.
Eat immediately.

You can get sugar free choclate, Try tempura vegies- cut vegies chunky and microwave a little and cool. Make batter with potoato flour and water with a lil rice bran oil and a little salt let sit for at least 30 min. Lightly toss veg (including pumpkin so good) in potato/rice flour mix and then dip in batter and deep fry.. so good. Nice served with home made chutney
