2380 Baker from Costa del Sol - Help Needed!

I have visitors arriving from the UK at the weekend and one of them is allergic to wheat. When they've visited in the past, we all sit down to multiple 'tapas' and really enjoy soaking up all the sauces with lots of fresh bread ... apart from 'the one' who has to make do with rice cakes :( No pun intended, but sucks huh?

It just occurred to me that I could maybe bake some corn bread which everyone could enjoy ... if only I had the right formula?

Recipes that I've found on the internet are a bit too fancy and generally include some 'wheaty stuff'.

Any ideas please you lot out there ?

Why not look for a recipe for a Coeliac friendly bread, just to vary the options from corn bread (sorry, don't have a good recipe for corn bread)?

I know of a wheatless onion quickbread that might work with tapas. It's made with rice and rye flour (and rolled oats that you grind up). Don't know how easy it would be to get ingredients.

You could make some corn crepes with ground corn, eggs, and use a rice flour to bind it (a little salt and white pepper too). These could be filled and served with sauces.

Would pitta breads work to sop up sauces? They are made (or should be made) from chickpea flour.

Thanks for your suggestions Sano. I'll have another look on the net.

And you're right Great Scott. It's what ingredients I can get here on the Costa del Sol. Believe it or not, it's difficult to get basic stuff to create food.
