I f you are entertaining guests this holiday season, a simple inquiry as to whether they have any dietary limitations will go a long way in making them feel comfortable at your party or dinner table. Although there are many dietary limitations to consider, common ones are gluten free, vegetarian and diabetes. Read on below to make sure you have options available to please all of your guests. Gluten free: Become familiar with gluten-con- taining foods and ingredients (www.celiac.ca can help!). Focus on naturally gluten-free unprocessed and unseasoned veget- ables, fruit, dairy, meat, poultry, seafood and legumes. Be mindful of cross contamination. Toasters, cutting boards, utensils, and pots and pans must be clean and free from gluten before preparing a gluten-free meal. Vegetarian: There are three different types of vegetarians. Find out which type pertains to your guest! Lacto-ovo vegetarian– will eat milk products and eggs. Lacto vegetarian– will eat milk products. Vegan – includes no animal products. Regardless of the type of vegetari- an, traditional turkey, ham, or roast beef will all be off limits for your vegetarian guests. You can satisfy the protein requirement of these guests by selecting recipes using beans or lentils. Check out the vegetarian recipe section of www.pc.ca. As above, naturally vegetarian foods include unprocessed and unseasoned vegetables and fruit! Diabetes: Consider a buffet-style meal where guests can choose their own portions of food. Offer a variety of vegetables, as they are low in calories and high in nutrients. Individuals with diabetes can have dessert too! Choose a dessert recipe that is lower in sugar. Look for some options at www.diabetes.ca. Anne Marie Armstrong is the senior manager, Dietitian Program for Atlantic Superstore. Let them eat ... what they want!
