i dont have my recipe book any more (well actually i do but its packed somewhere in the attic) but i worked as a cook in a vegetarian guest house specializing in dietary difficulties (celiac, allergies etc) some years ago, i believe they still print their recipe book which may help you out, they did have a website but i dont know the address of it, they are called; claridge house, dormansland, lingfield, west sussex. if you cant get hold of them let me know and i'll try and dig out my old recipe book for you

good luck with finding foods to suit your dietary requirement. I am not sure if you will be able to get products with no salt in, as even bread has salt in it. If the salt problem is because of high blood pressure, try lo-salt, better alternative. With regards to alcohol, it is probably your medication that you are taking for maybe anxiety/depression that is making you allergic to alcohol. Noone is allergic to alcohol, you probably are not supposed to drink because of other reasons. J2O do nice drinks and also you can get non alcoholic wine i.e. eisberg, non alcoholic cider, although it is sweet and non alcoholic lager, which is nice also. It is hard if you are recovering from something to do with alcohol, although Ive been there, done it and worn the tshirt and it is possible to enjoy yourself without the drink. In fact, look at it this way, drink is a depressant, that is why you shouldnt drink alcohol with anti depressants, it supresses your appetite. When you stop drinking, your health is so much better. Good Luck with your new dietary needs and just take one day at a time and dont say to people you are allergic to alcohol, be honest with yourself and to others. The other items you have said you are allergic to, I was not aware that alcohol contained nuts, herbs, palm oil, sunflower oil or shell fish.

I would have to disagree with miss bluebell12 as my brother is allergic to beer, quarter of a pint and he's violently sick, he's never tried anything else because of that.

beer is different, he obviously has a yeast allergy, that is why it makes him sick.
