GLUTEN-FREE: Recipes that don’t require whole-wheat flours, vital wheat gluten, seitan, or barley. I can’t vouch for all the ingredients, so if you have an allergy, please make sure every ingredient you use (e.g., low-sodium soy sauce, spices, or oats) is a certified gluten-free brand. You can also substitute tamari for low-sodium soy sauce.
SOY-FREE: Recipes that don’t require tofu, low-sodium soy sauce, or other soy products. If the recipe calls for nondairy milk, you can make it soy-free by using almond, hemp, or rice milk, or another soy-free option. Use chickpea miso in recipes calling for miso to make it soy-free.
