Mad Cook
Master Chef
In July I'm hosting a gathering of friends (10-15 of them) for the weekend for our local canal locks festival, one of whom is a vegan with citric acid allergy and there are a couple of vegetarians and the rest are omnivores.
I'm looking for recipes for a crowd that will keep the carnivores, veggies and vegans happy. I don't want to spend the weekend slaving over a hot stove but by the same virtue I don't want the veggies and the vegan to feel they are putting me to a lot of trouble. Salads are fine but given the vagaries of the British climate the weather could be anything from a heat wave to wet and cold (we once had snow in JUNE!) so I don't want us to be shivering over cold food.
I have access to the usual stuff - non-dairy spreads and "milks", cheeses, etc., vegetarian and vegan alternatives and other things as we have a very good health food store in the village and ordinary supermarkets in the vicinity.
I don't want to go down the packaged nut roast mix route so some interesting and hopefully delicious recipes would be good, particularly if the preparation work can be done in advanced.
No tomatoes please, due to the citric acid thing.
