[quote=Anonymous]OP - will they eat food from your kitchen if you get dedicated GF cookware?  This might be worth investing in if they will come to visit again with any frequency in the future.

I have a cousin with Celiac who comes out about once a year.  I haven't replicated my entire kitchen, but I do have a basic "cooking starter kit": GF-dedicated cutting board (one of the worst for cross-contamination), skillet, big pot (rice / soups / GF pasta), and a couple of other items.  It does kinda limit what I can cook, but it's fine for a week or so of meals.  I do use those items the rest of the year, but only for GF food - like, I would use the GF pot to cook rice or a GF soup, but not regular pasta.  So the cookware isn't only used for their visits.

One easy way to keep it separate is to get all of your GF cookware in a specific color - the trick is to make sure that everyone in your household knows that the green items are for GF only - don't grab the green skillet for making a grilled cheese sandwich!  You could also keep the GF equipment on a separate shelf or cupboard, or even box it away between visits if you don't need it.

If they won't do that - I think your best bet will be takeout from places that do GF.  Prepared foods from a place like MOMs or WF are a great idea.  Or see if there's a local family on one of the Celiac support groups that would like to make a little extra money this holiday season.  I doubt you'll find a professional personal chef with a dedicated GF kitchen.[/quote]
