The Captains Table
If you have any doubts as to the ingredients within the dish, don’t be afraid to ask. A good waiter will naturally want his diners to be happy and many will confer with the chef to ensure that your dietary needs are catered for. The hospitality industry is very much aware that dairy allergies are on the increase and offer a wider selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Some restaurants are so keen to include a wider clientele that they will even include low carb options or smaller portions for the weight conscious. A good restaurant should be able to offer something for even the pickiest of eaters.
I got this body from junk food... If your overindulgence with burgers and buns have turned your once trim thighs into flab, you may be able to console yourself with the knowledge that your stomach will cover them. However, there comes a time when it is better to get a little ahead instead of a big behind so make it an aim to browse past all those foods which are laden with fat. Not only do they stay for a moment on the lips but forever on the hips, they are also a danger for diners who follow a dairy free diet.
The kitchen is the heart of a restaurant... Most menus will state whether a meal has been cooked in butter or oil but if this information is not been readily available, do not be afraid to ask. If you are following a dairy free diet, you should also mention that you do not want butter to be added to any meat, fish or vegetables as some chefs find it customary to add a knob of butter to steamed or grilled foods to enhance the flavour.
Go Continental... Pasta dishes bring out the taste of Italy but opt for meals which are olive and tomato based rather than rich, creamy sauces which are laden with saturated fats. You could even console yourself with the knowledge that tomato based sauces count as one of your five a day!
Keep it light... There is nothing healthier or more nutritious than a crunchy, fresh salad especially if it is drizzled with a nice tasty dressing for that added va va voom. The ones to avoid are ranch and blue cheese dressings. Mayonnaise is a good choice for diners on a dairy free diet along with honey, mustard, oil and vinegar and vinaigrettes but a tiny splash is all that is needed to keep fat and sugar content to a minimum.
Don’t take any chances... A lot of people prefer their salad dressings and condiments to be served individually so that they can personally control how much they add. This is also a good way to gain peace of mind that their meal will be dairy free.
Salad bar or soup of the day... Salads are a colourful and pleasant way to eat as much food as you want without piling on the calories. As long as you avoid dishes which sneak in cubes of cheese, salads can be enjoyed without any nasty little dairy surprises appearing. Soups help to calm the mind and sooth the soul. They are the perfect comfort food on cold, winter evenings. These days vegetarians are spoilt for choice with vegan ‘cream’ soups but make it a point to check the ingredients on all soups as innocent sounding flavours such as ‘split pea’ or ‘vegetable chili’ may not necessarily be dairy free.
