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.
