I make gluten free and dairy free (lactose free) food a lot due to family intolerances. But I have never been asked to make rice free meals.

Gluten free bread - I buy the bread mixes - they are delicious.

Pastry - I use a mixture of mashed potato and rice flour but in your case I would suggest you try gram flour. That, as you probably know, is made from ground chick peas. It's delicious. (You could also try potato flour)

You can use any sort of shortening including lard I suppose (I don't use lard as I don't eat meat or meat products). There are several lactose free spreads on the market - that shouldn't be a problem.

Is there anything that someone isn't allergic to? I have never heard of a rice allergy.

Good luck.
