Our latest update includes recipes that were good enough to steal including Lucy's friend Dave Seidler's pancakes, Lucy's Sausage Topped Cornbread from Food and Drink and Julia Aitken's Braised Lamb and Lentils.

Recipes for Allergy Sufferers |
|
Lucy is a firm believer in fresh, delicious food for all and food allergy sufferers are no exception. She recently teamed up with the folks at Epi Pen to develop recipes excluding the top 5 allergens: peanuts, tree nuts (like almonds), eggs, dairy and shellfish. The recipes, which include Pad Thai, a Creamy Macaroni Bake (with no cream, butter or cheese!), a decadent Chocolate Cake and many more, all use fresh, seasonal ingredients, no imitation food substitutes. They are great every day meals for families or, if you're having a dinner party and one of your guests has allergies, they are delicious recipes that everyone would enjoy, allergy or not. For more information on allergy-free recipes and Epi Pen, check Epipen.ca.
