A delicious and complete gluten-free back-to-school menu

Whether by medical obligation, or by choice, reducing or even eliminating the consumption of gluten from your diet opens up the field of possibilities in terms of recipes. If, historically and traditionally, wheat and bread are an integral part of the French diet, for many years now, gluten-free alternatives have been numerous on the shelves. Behind the stove too, cooking gluten-free is in no way a feat, but a matter of applying easy tips and recipes.

Ideal menu

Gazpachos; cold soups; fresh fruit and vegetable verrines; or ceviches, are just some of the possible options for a gluten-free back-to-school menu.

To start the meal with indulgence, why not opt ​​for a frosty melon soup, watermelon, and bresaloa chips? If you want to go even faster, skip the crispy cold meats, the feta bringing the necessary dose of salt to the whole thing.

As for the dish, we rely on buckwheat flour, dear to the Bretons, since it is gluten-free. Even if its nickname “black wheat” can be misleading. It is eaten transformed into soba noodles, garnished with shrimp and snow peas, for a complete dish that is quick and easy to prepare.

For dessert, many gluten-free recipes exist, such as fruit salads, mousses, compotes, and certain desserts, but also cakes using alternative gluten-free flours such as chestnut, rice, or chickpea flour. Hazelnut and rice flour pancakes, for example, are an easy and delicious option to end the meal. If you prefer the freshness of fresh fruit, lemon strawberries with yuzu and lime will make an ideal dessert for a back-to-school menu.

And for an ideal snack for the first day of school, the date, almond and cocoa bars allow you to give yourself a little boost on this busy day.
