Indulge Safely: Your Guide to Allergen-Free French Patisserie

French patisserie embodies culinary artistry – but for diners with allergies, navigating delicate pastries can feel like walking a tightrope. Gluten, dairy, eggs, and nuts often hide within flaky croissants, airy macarons, and velvety éclairs. Thankfully, the mm food app transforms this stressful experience into pure delight.

Why French Pastries Pose Allergy Challenges

Traditional French baking relies on:

  • Wheat Flour: Found in puff pastry, tarts, and choux pastry bases.
  • Dairy: Butter is fundamental for flavor and texture in viennoiseries like croissants, and cream fills many desserts.
  • Eggs: Essential for binding, leavening, and glazing.
  • Nuts: Almond flour (frangipane) and nut garnishes are common.

Unlisted ingredients or hidden cross-contamination in restaurant kitchens can make ordering feel risky.
