whats a good meal to have at a wedding thats gluten free?

Answer 1

Several grains and starch sources are considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet. The most frequently used are maize (corn), potatoes, rice, and tapioca (derived from cassava). Other grains and starch sources generally considered suitable for gluten-free diets include amaranth, arrowroot, millet, montina, lupine, quinoa, sorghum (jowar), sweet potato, taro, teff, and yam. Various types of bean, soybean, and nut flours are sometimes used in gluten-free products to add protein and dietary fiber. In spite of its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat; pure buckwheat is considered acceptable for a gluten-free diet, although many commercial buckwheat products are actually mixtures of wheat and buckwheat flours, and thus not acceptable.

Special care must be taken when checking ingredients lists as gluten may come in forms such as vegetable proteins and starch, modified food starch (when derived from wheat instead of maize), maltodextrin, malt flavoring, and glucose syrup. Many common ingredients contain wheat or barley derivatives.

Many foods will contain gluten, but not be indicated on the ingredients, because they are not in the formulation of the product, but in the preparation of it. One example of this is the dusting of the conveyor belts in the production facilities to prevent the foods from sticking during processing. The food itself might not contain gluten, but there is gluten in the ingested product.

The legal definition of the phrase "gluten-free" varies from country to country. Current research suggests that for persons with coeliac disease the maximum safe level of gluten in a finished product is probably less than 0.02% (200 parts per million) and possibly as little as 0.002% (20 parts per million). Since ordinary wheat flour contains approximately 12% gluten, even a tiny amount of wheat flour can cross-contaminate a gluten-free product. Therefore, considerable care must be taken to prevent cross-contamination in both commercial and home food preparation.

This diet rules out all ordinary breads, pastas, and many convenience foods. Many countries do not require labelling of gluten containing products, but in several countries (especially the European Union) new product labelling standards are enforcing the labelling of gluten-containing ingredients. Various gluten-free bakery and pasta products are available from specialty retailers.

There are many things that you can serve at a gluten free wedding. There is not even a need to announce it! There are many gluten free foods that don't taste "Gluten Free" and most people will not even notice the difference! Honestly, don't worry about it! It is not selfish at all! The last thing you would want on your honeymoon is stomach problems! Yes, It is completely normal for you to want to enjoy yourself like everyone else! When I go to weddings, I have to bring my own food or put in a request! Then I get "The Look".....and the "You can't eat THAT!" accusations. Some people just don't understand food allergies. ENJOY Your Gluten Free Wedding and others will as well!

Here's another site - www.glutenfreeforum.com to get more ideas.

If you're attending a wedding and just need a safe meal for yourself, I usually go with chicken breast cooked in a clean pan, steamed veggies and baked potato. Basic, but you're more likely to not get glutened if you keep it simple.

If you're planning your own wedding and want to make it as GF as possible, you can work with the caterer. Many are at least slightly familiar with the GF diet and should be able to develop a really nice menu for you.

Answer 4

Starter - Leek and Potato soup - made from scratch wont have flour in.

Main - Chicken, roasted or grilled, roast potatoes and plenty of veg.

Dessert - A bit tricky, Fruit with Ice cream or cream in a meringue nest.

I am presuming that only 1 or 2 people attending the wedding are Coeliacs so why not just do different for them as you would with vegetarians, you wouldn't plan the whole meal just for 2 veggies would you?

Answer 5

any fresh meat, that has been butchered,but not processed is gluten free, a pork roast is gluten free, pork sausages may not be gluten free, gluten is a wheat product so any cold cuts might have gluten, as well as any breaded product

Answer 6

Green salad, Rissoto with shrimp or some type of meat. You will need to find a baker who can work with you to create the cake.

Answer 7

Curry - accompaniments such as onion bahjies should be made with gram flour anyway (but check!)
Shepherds pie (check the gravy though)
roast dinner (again gravy watch)
soups
fruit pudding
ice cream (check ingredients)
Chilli
