Just make sure you don't have any grains. It is easy.
Potatoes and every other vegetable are fine.
Protein from either fish, animals, pulses, tofu, tempeh, spirulina is fine.
Nuts, seeds, tea, coffee, wine, spirits and chesses and cream are fine.
To be on the safe side stay away from all processed foods. Use fresh herbs, your own ground spices, salt and pepper are fine.
From this you have a world of choices.
What sort of things do you think you'd like to serve!

That sounds interesting. A flour free carrot cake. I'm sure others would appreciate the recipe when you have some free time and want to share.
Preheat oven to 160C. Combine carrot, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, almond meal, oil, honey, raisins and baking powder. Mix well until combined.
Pour into a prepared 20-centimetre baking tin and bake for one hour to 1½ hours, or until cooked through.
Cover if necessary with foil. Remove from oven and cool completely in the tin, then turn out. Serve alone or topped with thick natural yoghurt, or a topping of your choice. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days.
The icing will be fine as long as you make sure that the icing sugar is not made with wheat starch.Most sugars aren't but apparently sometimes manufacturers change the manufacturing process for icing sugar to include wheat starch.

Just an update for those who are interested:
We ended up having roasted red peppers filled with butter chicken, roasted kumara and a nice green salad with mixed leaves, feta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and olives. For dessert I made a lemon cheesecake. The whole meal was delicious and very simple, thanks for all your help and suggestions.

justme/petal-pickle - thank you so much for that recipe. It is now saved in case some one else, in the future wants just such a recipe.
Your meal sounded perfect. I hope your guests enjoyed it.

Hi I am a coeliac and I can tell you now sprits are not fine. there is a company called frillys and there a dedicated gf kitchen who supply food all over nz and its just yum. You need to be careful as vegetable oils marj all contain gluten or a form of it. Instad of roasting kumera like thats what we dont get when we go out. do nachos with plain flavoured nacho chips. beans mince. Have fun

Can you clarify a few things for me please!
What are sprits!
What does this sentence mean! "Instad of roasting kumera like thats what we dont get when we go out".
I just don't want to make any mistakes.
Is it absolutely necessary to buy goods from Frilly's! Is it possible that we can make it ourselves!

You can make it but they really know what they are doing. beer spirits it has what in it wheat and they way its distilled. So tell me if you went out and only ever got offered roast veges and a penotage of veges would that be acceptable people need to take challanges. now gluten if you have a gluten in your kitchen you have gluten everywhere. I have see some people at a gf talk have a beatroot gf cake made in a kitchen with gluten and had a hard core reaction. so I believe yes. If you cause someone to have a reaction it is not nice. I hope that answers it. do look at frillys they really have nice product its all naturalgf wheat free.

But you do not have to have these allergies forever.It is possible to heal your body so you can then tolerate these foods well.Unless of course you get anaphylactic reactions to them.

Hey there, Im a coeliac also and a lot of people who put in a great deal of effort making GF food often get caught out by the tiniest thing. Check ALL your condiments and baking ingrediants. For example Edmonds baking powder is safe, Hansells is not. Just one little drop is enough to cause a (painfull) reaction.

This is also true but how many people can be bothered seeking out and reading books like Breaking The vicious Circle by Elaine Gottschall, BA, M.Sc, or even bothering to check up on the GAPs diet.
If I were coeliac I'd do anything to get better and have already read the book just in case. Lol. It is a pity my friend won't. She is 10 times smarter than the average person but has a blind spot when it comes to her problem.
