I have to cook for a week for twenty people – one of whom is a vegetarian and one is celiac. That means that veggie lasagnes, vegetarian spaghettis are out. I live in the Middle East and there are no speciality pastas made of anything but wheat here. I can’t make lentils and chickpeas for a week – help!

I was diagnosed with celiac last week. I stopped eating gluten right away. How long does it take for everything that was making me feel bad to get out of my system? And, does anyone have any advice. This seems like such a drag. Thanks. - Gluten Free Pasta

As such there is nothing to stop you from throwing a meal with your favourite Italian cuisine and including many pasta dishes made with gluten-free pasta if you or - Food Allergy Food Intolerance
For some people, food allergies can be very serious. One bite of a cookie with ground peanuts can cause a life-threatening emergency in someone with a peanut allergy, while just the smell of fish can make a highly sensitive person feel ill. Although these are extreme reactions, it’s no wonder many people worry about food
Simply make food for 18 people and quite something separate for two….
About those two;
Ask the celiac to suggest meals for him self and if he could give you the brand names of products so that you can go buy the ingredients to be able to feed him.
As for the vegetarian, well, just feed him noodles and vegetables…..
The rest of them seem to be normal, so give them chicken, beef and mutton, and on occasion some pork to munch on.
Here are a few ideas:
You can look online for specific recipes to give you quantities of ingredients and whatnot.
Veggie risotto (use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth)
Curried vegetables over rice (you can grill some meat and have it on the side for the non-vegetarians)

Bean and vegetable chili (use vegetable broth, not beef broth)

Cabbage rolls filled with rice and beans or sauteed veggies – cover with tomato sauce to cook
Stewed veggies/beans over polenta (corn meal)
As for desserts, anything with fruit is perfect. Fresh fruit sorbet, fruit topped with yogurt and nuts, etc…
There are also some gluten free pie crust recipes you can find online — they’re often made with nuts but I don’t know the recipes offhand.
There are many gluten-free web sites so you may want to check some of those sites out for recipes and then choose the ones that don’t incorporate meat. Although, you should make some meat available for the remainder of your guests that are meat-eaters. They’ll appreciate it.
You’ve got quite a challenge… Good luck & happy cooking!!
