I had a similar show a while back. We ended up making the Italian Olive Bruschetta and she made gluten free bread ahead of time. Then we did a vegan, gluten free version of the Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the DCB (gluten free cake mix, egg replacer).
My host was happy to help me figure out what she could replace in recipes. If she's vegan she likely owns and uses egg replacer and can help you with that part (it's easy but it works best if you're familiar with when and how to mix it).

I did a show in Feb. that was Vegan and GF. We made the Cool & Crunchy Tacos as a salad (double the dressing). You can use Veganaise instead of the mayo. And instead of chicken, we just doubled the black beans. It was a hit. Corn tortilla chips are GF and we had everyone just crumble some on top of their salads if they wanted them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some easy vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free recipes I can try?
Some easy recipes include quinoa salad with mixed vegetables, chickpea curry served with rice, and roasted vegetable tacos using corn tortillas. You can also make a hearty vegetable soup or a stir-fry with tofu and your favorite veggies, ensuring all ingredients are vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free.
How can I ensure my meals are vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free?
To ensure your meals meet these dietary restrictions, always check ingredient labels for hidden allergens. Use whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Opt for certified gluten-free grains like quinoa or rice, and choose plant-based proteins such as beans, lentils, and tofu. Avoid processed foods that may contain allergens.
What are some snack ideas that are vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free?
Great snack options include fresh fruit, vegetable sticks with hummus, popcorn seasoned with herbs, and rice cakes topped with avocado. You can also enjoy gluten-free pretzels, roasted chickpeas, or homemade energy balls made with oats and dried fruits.
Are there any vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free products I should look for?
Yes, look for brands that specifically label their products as vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free. Some popular options include gluten-free pasta made from rice or quinoa, nut-free plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk, and vegan protein powders that are free from allergens. Always read labels to ensure safety.
How can I modify traditional recipes to be vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free?
You can modify traditional recipes by substituting animal products with plant-based alternatives. For example, use flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water as an egg replacer, and opt for gluten-free flours like almond flour or coconut flour. Replace dairy with coconut yogurt or almond milk (if nut-free alternatives are needed) to maintain the recipe's texture and flavor.
