My daughter of 2 yrs is allergic to egg cooked or raw, white and yolks. this limits some of the foods I can offer her.

What can I use instead of egg for example when making; beef or lamb burgers need something to use a binding agent. Coating when making chicken and fish goujons for finger foods.
Cakes/desserts are very limited to jelly/ice cream and fresh fruit oh yes and chocolate.

I try to keep to fresh ingredients where possible. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Hi Vicki36 -

Some useful information on this link, including a binding agent for burgers.

Have you tried dipping the goujons in milk then coating with breadcrumbs?

When I make fish cakes I just dust them with a little flour then fry in a tiny bit of oil. They usually come out quite crispy.

There's a Georgio Locatelli recipe for an Eggless Chocolate Cake on this link. I remember seeing him make it for his little girl as she is also allergic to eggs.
