It'll be hard to get something really tasty without something sour, seasoning and spices, so you'll probably have to go crazy with the fresh herbs.<BR/><BR/>How about frying up some onion, garlic and a few whole coriander seeds (3 mins), then throw in some courgette, carrots, potato (cut real small), mushrooms, broccoli and some chickpeas, along with 1 tbs sugar (4 mins). Add one and half cups of rice, and three cups of water, bring to boil, cover and let simmer for 10 mins, then take off heat and leave for another 10 minutes. Mix in a whole load of fresh coriander, and a good handful of cashew nuts before serving.<BR/><BR/>Quinoa would work nicely instead of rice too. As for a sauce to go on top.... urm...Maybe some mushrooms and more garlic, stewed in some sort of unsweetened rice/nut milk thickened with arrowroot, with some chopped parsley? (Clutching at straws!)<BR/><BR/>Hope I've managed to inspire you somehow!!russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809081667404936981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491958279126958823.post-67100695829842122402008-06-20T22:28:00.000+01:002008-06-20T22:28:00.000+01:00Hey, red poppy!

Just right now I can't think of any kind of dish to make with "allowed" foods. <BR/><BR/>I did recently get me some amazake, a rice product which I've been told can replace soy-ish things in smoothies and the like. I've not tried it yet, but it might be worth checking out.Tuimeltjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067230080461414895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491958279126958823.post-15873131112559789022008-06-18T15:44:00.000+01:002008-06-18T15:44:00.000+01:00Oh no!

I had a list of three yesterday that I lost and was upset about that, I can't imagine losing them all! That's why I print everything out. Perhaps it's a bit wasteful, but at least they're not going anywhere. Sorry to hear about your friend too, that has to be tough. No reheating food! Crazy. I don't have any ideas for stuff you can cook for him, but Alice is probably right about keeping things simple.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532890894030753470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491958279126958823.post-16716435776226890352008-06-18T02:35:00.000+01:002008-06-18T02:35:00.000+01:00I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

I have a couple of food intolerance cookbooks but they're unfortunately very meat heavy. Maybe he'll just have to keep it simple with grains and what veggies he can eat. I can certainly empathize, there's so many foods that are on my "can't have" list. <BR/><BR/>What you have made looks yummy though!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491958279126958823.post-935800070277609482008-06-17T20:12:00.000+01:002008-06-17T20:12:00.000+01:00I"m terribly sorry about your friend's diagnosis; ...I"m terribly sorry about your friend's diagnosis; but I"m glad to see that you're still able to make such delicious food!!LizNoVeggieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785142908687097216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491958279126958823.post-47236152669036583682008-06-17T20:11:00.000+01:002008-06-17T20:11:00.000+01:00I guess he's going to have to keep it very simple....I guess he's going to have to keep it very simple... I can't think of anything now, but with a little practice, I think you'll come up with new ideas!<BR/>And for the bookmarks... try del.icio.us! Really, really makes my day. There's a plugin for firefox so you can see your favorites in a similar way as before, and it's always on the web and you cannot lose it!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113123607750114167noreply@blogger.com
