Cake Diet

OMG!!!

I went out to lunch and was disappointed at how everything contained wheat/egg/milk. I could have had a roast, but didn’t really feel like it. So I had sushi… who cares about the mayo? (Whoops, teehee)

So I thought I’d drop into Dymocks to see if I’d missed “Friendly Foods” when I was there on Monday (when I bought a “Gluten Free Vegan” book, mostly out of desperation). They didn’t have it (nor did they have “La Dolce Vegan,” a recommendation from a friend of mine – thanks Anabel!), but they DID have some new stock, including the bright pink ALLERGY SAFE FAMILY FOOD

This book makes me so excited! Sure, it doesn’t have big glossy pictures (“Friendly Foods” does, so I’ll look forward to that one) but it DOES have everything marked as being  free from any of the following: nut, egg, dairy, soy, gluten, wheat, fish/shellfish, sesame seed; as well as a “V” for vegetarian! It’s another Australian book (like “FF” which I clearly have to get, considering I rave about it and haven’t even seen it) and there’s a handy set of “shopping lists” and guides in the back for allergy management!!

Between this and all the other vegan websites Anabel has linked me to, I have to say that I am actually MORE excited than ever about cooking And hopefully being allergy/sensitivity-free means that I’ll actually have the energy and drive to WANT to cook, especially knowing how hard it will be to go to the shops and get some convenience foods
