Guests With Food Allergies

A frittata is a gluten-free, wheat-free, paleo-diet alternative to a quiche for a breakfast meal.

Rather than offering fruit, nuts, and cheese on one platter, consider separating them to avoid issues of cross-contact for guests that have a milk or nut allergy.

If guests have food allergies, planners need to be aware of all of the ingredients in the menu they are serving. For example, for a dish of pan-fried chicken with Brussels sprouts and beets, it would be critical to know whether the chicken was cooked in peanut oil, which is a common allergen.
