Happy Food Allergy Awareness Week!

The second full week of May is Food Allergy Awareness Week to highlight the needs and experiences of 32 million Americans with food allergies. I’ve been a food allegy mom, advocate, and blogger ever since my youngest son was diagnosed in 2006. I am so fortunate to have many food allergy mom and blogger friends and colleagues in the food allergy community! They work hard to make the world a little safer and more inclusive for people with food allergies, which is my inspiration to highlight food allergy bloggers in this roundup of 20 nut-free recipes.

Celebrate Food Allergy Recipe Bloggers

I attended the inaugural Food Allergy Bloggers Conference and was inspired to launch Nut Free Wok 10+ years ago when I realized that people want to make and eat Asian food but needed help to adapt recipes for their food allergies.

For Food Allergy Awareness Week, I want to celebrate the food allergy bloggers that actively share great recipes in a roundup of nut-free and allergy friendly recipes. I would like to see all of us continue to build community and find the resources we need to live life with food allergies well.

Thank you for your continued interest in my blog and my cookbook, Chinese Instant Pot Cookbook. I’m so thankful to be part of your meals and special occasions. It’s an honor and none of us take it lightly and work hard to share our best recipes. I personally know many of the bloggers in this round-up but a few are new to me, which is exciting for all of us to get to know them.

Recipes from Nut Free Food Allergy Recipe Bloggers

If you or someone in your family is mainly allergic to only peanuts and/or tree nuts, then it’s less restrictive to follow someone who has similar allergies.

Nut Free Wok

All of the recipes that I share are peanut- and tree nut-free. Many of Nut Free Wok recipes happen to be dairy-free as well because dairy is not commonly used in Asian cuisine although some of my baked goods use dairy products. My son was allergic to eggs so some of my older baked goods recipes are egg-free but now he needs to keep eggs in his diet. At one point, I have cooked for 30+ allergies so I understand that sometimes we just need to eat what’s safe and include adaptation suggestions when possible.

Recipes from Gluten-Free/Celiac Bloggers

I couldn’t have a round up featuring food allergy bloggers without sharing about some of my favorite gluten-free and Celiac blogs. I asked each of them to share a nut-free recipe, but note that some of their other recipes on their websites might use nuts. Most of the time you can omit the nuts if it’s just topping ingredient or an ingredient that you mix in (for example, chopped nuts).

Fearless Dining

My good friend Sandi is an amazing gluten-free blogger. Some of her recipes have nut-free, egg-free, and dairy-free options. I love panettone, doesn’t her gluten-free and nut-free panetoone recipe look incredible?
