Help! Looking for recipe ideas…

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

Can anyone suggest some tasty recipes that fit these criteria? Thanks!
