Help! Need recipe ideas…

I could use some recipe suggestions!

I’m preparing a meal for a friend who has some dietary restrictions: no dairy, no acidic foods (like citrus, vinegar, tomatoes, or condiments), no spicy ingredients (including chili powder, cayenne, or any type of peppers), no strawberries, and no fermented items (such as sourdough or soy sauce).

If you have any tasty recipe ideas that fit these criteria, I’d greatly appreciate your help!
