How To Cater For Family Members With Dietary Requirements This Christmas

Communication is Key: Reach out to family members in advance to inquire about any dietary restrictions or preferences. 

Create a Diverse Menu: Plan a diverse menu that includes a variety of dishes, ensuring there are options for those with dietary restrictions.

Label Food Clearly: Clearly label each dish with information about its ingredients and potential allergens. 

Offer Substitutions: Provide substitutions for common allergens or dietary restrictions.

Serve Family-Style: Opt for a family-style meal where each person can choose the dishes that suit their dietary requirements.

Ask for Contributions: Encourage family members with specific dietary needs to contribute dishes that align with their requirements. 

Consider Dietary Preferences: Take into account not only dietary restrictions but also preferences.

Avoid Cross-Contamination: Pay attention to cross-contamination, especially if preparing both regular and allergen-free versions of certain dishes.
