free of top 8 allergens

This homemade strawberry milk is full of fresh fruit and velvety smoothness. What a fun addition to any breakfast, brunch or afternoon treat, and a hit for kids of all ages.

It’s simple to make with only 4 ingredients, and no artificial colors, flavors, dyes…or dairy. Read more to see what’s in the top brands of strawberry milk on our grocery shelves. One thing’s for sure…zero strawberries.

We suggest buying organic when it comes to strawberries, since this red, juicy fruit has a soft, seedy skin, which allows for easier absorption of pesticides. Many of these pesticides penetrate the skin and cannot be rinsed off.

By the way, for the third year running, strawberries top the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Dirty Dozen™ list for produce containing the most pesticide residues. How much is that? Check it out, cause you won’t believe it!

Your Allergy Chefs Melanage Of Artichokes Beans And Kale Recipe

free from gluten and the top 8 food allergens

This mélange of artichokes, beans and kale will electrify your taste buds.

Rather than calling it a soup or stew, we like mélange. After all, it’s not really a soup, but a healthy medley of beans and vegetables served with a super sauce!

This recipe begins with béchamel, a classic mother sauce made with milk, heavy cream, butter and wheat flour. To make it allergy-friendly and vegan, we use rice milk, Earth Balance and sweet white rice flour, adding a touch of Dijon style mustard to create the small sauce called… mustard sauce.

Fit for a fine dining restaurant, yet easy to make at home…You’re gonna love it!

Redefining the Mother Sauces

April 1, 2018 By Your Allergy Chefs

For food lovers and chefs alike, knowing the five mother sauces is a basic skill that opens a world of culinary possibilities. Béchamel, Espagnole, Hollandaise, Tomato and Velouté are the five mother sauces that serve as the starting point for a myriad of dishes.

Two weeks ago, we did a presentation at the American Culinary Federation’s Chef Connect in Newport Beach, California. Our session was titled “Redefining the Mother Sauces”.

We had a full house of eager chefs that wanted to learn more about cooking for their guests with food allergies and special diets. Chef after chef talked about the ever-growing requests from their customers for allergy-friendly and plant-based dishes.

We are excited to share over the next several weeks, our take on the mother sauces made allergy-friendly, gluten-free and vegan.
