Special Breakfast Recipes Needed!

[chiaramente]

I have a guest coming to stay at my family's B&B and she is allergic to anything that has flour and wheat in it. She is asking us if we can prepare something special for her for breakfast, since she is already upset that she won't be able to eat bread, pizza, pasta, pastries... (We're in Italy.) Do you have any breakfast recipes that will make her

I'm almost positive that buckwheat is gluten-free. How about some buckwheat pancakes or waffles loaded with fresh berries and syrup?

[chiaramente]

yeah, buckwheat is gluten free. I just have to double check if she can eat gluten-free flour. Her daughter sent over a recipe for muffins made with ground almonds and no flour... so now I'm not sure if she needs to avoid all types of flour, or just gluten/wheat. but thanks for the suggestion! I need some pancakes right now... ;)

I love me some pancakes!

frittata?

Poop. I thought I was in the veggie community, not vegan. Please ignore.

Now I would suggest a tofu scramble.

Again, sorry about that.

if she's open to the idea of a salty breakfast why not... i make a pretty good tofu scamble!

I'm not sure about availability in italy, but in a pinch, a cornbread crust will work for pizza.

Also, availability aside, there are pastas made from items other than wheat (brown rice, etc)

Here's a wheat free pizza crust recipe:

They also have listings for wheat free breakfasts, etc:

I'm a bit fixated on the pizza thing right now as I am expecting to have some later. I like cilantro on mine.

So you're a vegan bed and breakfast? If so... I am so there. One day. Should I ever actually get over to Europe. :P
