Recipes
One of the things that’s really important to The Allergy Team is that families living with food allergies should be able to enjoy really delicious food. So that’s why we have worked hard to compile and create accessible, adaptable, affordable and most importantly, really tasty recipes.
All our recipes have been written for families and we’ve tried where possible to make them easy to cook, fitting into time and budget constraints. We always aim to use fresh ingredients, and if we do use canned or packaged food, we will use it in a way to avoid waste.
Most of our recipes are adaptable. They are tested without the allergens so we know they work and taste good (there is nothing worse than a soggy, dense egg-free cake!) but we have also suggested allergens sometimes to accompany them or as substitutions, so if members of the family can tolerate those foods, you can incorporate them.
We are busy creating new meals all the time to expand this section so please get in touch if there is a recipe you’re craving or if you have one you’d love to share!
