Villepinte (France) (AFP) - Once firmly entrenched in their traditional gastronomy, consumers in gourmet havens like France and Italy are slowly starting to demand gluten-, dairy- and meat-free diets as environmental and health concerns kick in.

No-allergen pasta, vegan croissants, meatless hamburgers -- "free-from" food is one of the leading trends at this week's SIAL international food fair outside Paris, where companies say Europeans are starting to care as much about what is left out of their food as what goes in.

"Consumers have changed," said Elisabeth Leitner, export manager for Probios, an Italian company specialising in organic products and creator of vegan croissants, pointing to growing concerns about allergies and the environmental and health impacts of meat.

"There are more people leading alternative lifestyles. And people are talking about food and health on sites like Facebook and Twitter."

In France, four percent of people say they follow a diet free from gluten -- a protein found in wheat, rye and barley -- along with eight percent in Italy, seven percent in Germany and six percent in Spain, according to Mintel, a London based market research company.

- Anti-gluten fever -

Gluten-free foods are essential for people who suffer from coeliac disease, an auto-immune condition characterised by diarrhoea, vomiting and bloating after the ingestion of gluten.

However many consumers buy them simply because they perceive the products as healthier.

This anti-gluten fever has swept the United States in recent years and has earned increasing criticism for being a money-spinning fad.

"Gluten is to this decade what carbohydrates were to the last one and fat was to the 1980s and 1990s: the bete noir, the bad boy, the cause of all that ails you, and the elimination of which can heal you," Time wrote in a recent article on its website.

Balsamic-roasted kale, white bean meatballs, garlic scampi and dairy-free chocolate pudding filled the Terrace Room at Claudia Cohen Hall last night. These dishes were served as part of Penn Vegan Society's kickoff party the latest event in a series for this year's Penn Food Week co-sponsored by Bon Appetit at Penn, the Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative (AUNI) and Penn Environmental Group.

Members of the group shared their experiences of being vegan at Penn. Co-President of the Penn Vegan Society and College sophomoreBrianna Krejci was a vegetarian when she came to Penn, but decided to go vegan after being exposed to the wide variety of vegan food options at Penn.Though Krejci was initially interested in the health benefits of a vegan diet, she quickly came to appreciate the role of veganism in promoting ethical and sustainable living.

College freshman Christina Zhou echoed this sentiment. She attributed her vegan lifestyle to her Buddhist upbringing, which emphasized showing compassion to all living things. As a dining liaison for the Penn Vegan Society, Zhou works closely with Penn chefs to develop vegan options for Penn dining halls.Nicole Tocco, fellow for the Bon Appetit Management Company, said that they are collaborating with the VeganSociety in hopes ofintroducing avegetarian eateryin the spring.

Like the Vegan Society, Tocco added,Bon Appetit also keeps ethical concerns in mind when catering to Penn dining halls.

Bon Appetit chefs always make vegan and vegetarian options available to our guests, whether or not they are full time vegans or vegetarians, she said. Making vegan and vegetarian options an attractive choice to our guests is one way to reduce our environmental impact and help our guests make the healthy choices.

Pizzas always been a crowd pleaser, and the cheesy, meaty pie is more popular than ever these days from thepizza cakes andpizza-inspired fashions that dominate the Internet to thespecialty pizza restaurants that dominate Portlands local dining scene. For those with dietary restrictions though, a good pizza can be hard to comeby.

So whats a vegan, gluten-free pizza lover todo?

Making tasty pizza at home does not always require preparing yeast-risen dough. I have created ways to make pizza with a twist, including gluten-free versions that are sure to satisfy your familys craving for a pizzadinner.

First, mypolenta pizza has a big bonus in that it is gluten free!Polenta as a pizza crust? Yep, its fabulous! Thispizza develops nice crispy edges as it bakes, and the polenta provides a great base for the fresh tomatoes, artichokes and fragrant basil leaves. You can use any additional or optional toppings you like to make this version yourown.

But what if you want your healthy pizza in ahurry?

My best quick pizza secret is whole grain tortillas! I keep them in the refrigerator and freezer to use for so many different recipes like tarts, burritos, casseroles, wraps, quesadillas, cookies and homemade tortilla chips, but one of my favorite ways to use them is to provide a crisp base for a pizza thats ready to eat in 20 minutes!Simply add your favorite pizza toppings and bake for 20 minutes or so and youre good to go! Bonus: You can make your pizza gluten free by using a brown rice tortilla or any gluten-free tortilla of your choice. MyTortilla Salad Pizza is fabulous for a lunch treat or lightsupper.
