Will your event include guests with special dietary needs, such as vegetarians, vegans, diabetics,
or people with allergies? No problem! Just let us know so we can make appropriate suggestions
for your menu. We can also provide a list of ingredients for each dish, tastefully presented so
that you can place a card beside each item on your table and thus allow your guests to check for
themselves.

We want everyone to have a great time at your function. Below are just a few categories of
consumers we are accustomed to serving. We also welcome your suggestions and your recipes!

Diabetic Guests
Diabetics generally need complex carbohydrates that will metabolize slowly, as well as
items with no sugar or very low sugar content. As well as our traditional meat, seafood,
and vegetable dishes, consider our whole-grain pasta or our whole-grain pizza with no-
sugar-added tomato sauce, and our breads, carrot cake, and cobblers made with whole
grains and sugar substitute instead of sugar.

Guests on a Gluten-Free Diet

Simply let us know that you wish to accommodate these guests, and we will not add
thickeners containing gluten to any meat, seafood, or vegetable dish. In addition, we
can make many of our breads and desserts with rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca
flours.

Guests with Allergies

The most common allergies to food are wheat, nuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, eggs,
and dairy products. We can prepare foods and adapt recipes so that none of these
ingredients are included.

Vegan and Vegetarian Guests

Our chefs at Riche Cuisine are accustomed to creating succulent vegetarian dishes;
these are among our specialties. Most of our vegetarian dishes do not include dairy
products, but we can easily label those that do for our vegan customers. Many of our
vegetable dishes are favorites of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike—be sure to
try our seed-encrusted lentil patties and our wide variety of potato dishes!

We pride ourselves on creating gourmet cuisine for everyone. We want all of your guests to

enjoy our food!

At Riche Cuisine, we make all our dishes from scratch, so you can trust us to use only the
freshest ingredients. Whenever it's possible, we use organic foods in our menu items. We also
try to buy from local growers at every opportunity; we're proud to be part of the "Buy Local"
trend that supports local businesses and reduces transportation costs and carbon footprints.

You will never find suspicious 'filler' ingredients imported from China in any of our dishes. The
only imported ingredients we use are the incredible spices, flavorings, and grains that come
from all parts of the world. We don't use food dyes or preservatives.

We are happy to provide a complete list of ingredients for any dish, printed on a stand-up card
for display on a buffet. Simply ask for ingredients display cards when you finalize your catering
menu with us.

We can also accommodate special diets. See the Special Needs page for more information.
