Gluten-free, dairy-free dinner ideas for the whole family

Cooking without gluten and dairy at once rules out a lot of shortcuts: no flour to thicken, no butter, no cheese on top. These recipes get creaminess from blended vegetables, coconut milk and olive oil, and crunch from roasting.

What Gluten watches for: hidden gluten in soy sauce and stock, and hidden dairy (whey, casein, butter) in packaged foods.

Cooking for more than one diet?

Add everyone you cook for, with their allergies, diets and ages. Gluten checks every recipe for each of them and tells you what to change for anyone who can’t eat it as written. It’s free.

Gluten-free dairy-free cooking questions

What can I use instead of cheese?

Toasted seeds, avocado, olives or a dairy-free pesto give the same salty, rich finish. Nutritional yeast tastes cheesy and is dairy-free; check its label for gluten.

Do kids get enough calcium without dairy?

They can, from leafy greens, fortified dairy-free milk, canned fish with soft bones, beans and tofu. Ask your paediatrician if you’re unsure.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
