its actually being held in their honour, they are overseas guests - and why shouldnt they go to a pot luck dinner - there is bound to be something there they can eat - poster one is merely asking for an idea so she can be one of the ones to bring something that would be edible.

oh and i will add not that it should matter for a helpful response - it is not by choice she eats this way - she has major stomach ailments and the pain involved in eating these things are not worth her eating at all - and as she has been living off rice cakes and nuts we thought it be nice to welcome her to NZ with food that she can eat,

mini meatballs with a dipping sauce. You could also use vegetables with the same sauce like brocolli, cauliflower florets, carrots etc. If you are taking mini meatballs, make lots. People love them. I guess you will need to steer clear of using breadcrumbs in the meatballs, but little ones will be OK without breadcrumbs. Nice to hear that you are being so welcoming. She won't forget it.

Chicken Fricasseed with Potatoes (or sprouts) and Vinegar
8 chicken thighs (or a whole chicken in 8 pieces), 3 tab olive oil, 1 tsp chopped rosemary, 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 4anchovy fillets, chopped, 8 small potatoes, washed, OR 400g brussels sprouts, trimmed 6 tab wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
2 tab extra virgin olive oil to serve
In a large lidded saute pan heat the olive oil, and when the oil is very hot reduce heat to medium and fry the chicken on all sides until golden.Add potatoes or sprouts and toss well.Add rosemary, garlic and anchovies and toss well.When the mix is fragrant add the vinegar and shake a few minutes until the fumes dissipate.Add salt and pepper, cover and cook over low heat until tender, about 45 minutes.Turn a few times while cooking, add water if necessary, and when cooked turn off heat, add extra virgin oil and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.There should be no liquid left at the end, just a sticky coating on the chicken.

honey sesame chicken drumsticks.
chicken drumsticks. Drizzle with some melted honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds. bake in moderate oven 20-30 mins until cooked.
Can be served hot, warm or cold with a green salad.
A great standby that we cook a lot when we arent sure what people we are having for dinner like...we add a little soy to the honey but Im not sure if soy has gluten so wouldnt add it.

'someone like that'??? She is our guest of honour from overseas and we want to consider her dietery requirements.
I hope you never develop similar medical conditions.

You can get recipe bases in the supermaket that are wheat and gluten free, they normally have it clearly written on the front or back of sachet. When you go to the supermarket have a look/peruse down/around the health food. they quite often have a find of things there. you can get gluten/wheat free flour stuff, ive made a beef casserole for a friend who is gluten free. just used this flour instead of normal flour. My mums in a church group thats always doing baking and i remember her freaking out a few years ago cos someone became allergic but she just uses other stuff instead now. cant remember what but shes always making quiches.
