No More Workarounds for Dietary Dilemmas
Special dietary requests from guests are on the rise — whether for vegan alternatives or because of allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy or soy. One diner may ask for Hollandaise without the butter; another for a tart to be gluten free, so you need to be prepared and not let special requests mess with the smooth running of your kitchen.
While chefs will usually bend over backward to accommodate their customers' dietary needs, it can be frustrating when it jeopardises the integrity of a carefully thought-out dish. But if you want to be an allergy-friendly restaurant and cater to ethically-minded guests too, you can create lactose-free, gluten-free and plant-based dishes to cater to a roomful of different tastes. See it as a smart move rather than an obstacle and adapt your recipes so that they have the flexibility to serve everyone.
