Actually in some ways, yes.  I don't mean that it's great to be 
allergic to alcohol so I have to avoid things that use it or try a 
substitution.  Having food allergies AND being a cook has made me a 
more sensitive cook.  I work harder in the kitchen to avoid cross 
contamination and I try to educate people.  

  "No, the vegetarians won't want to eat that nice steamed herb 
pudding if you sit it on the same tray as the lamb to soak up the 
juices."

  "Gee, you just made all of those carrots completely inedible to my 
family by putting the beets cooked in wine sauce on the same tray 
(beets leak -- a lot)."

Like I said before, I don't expect people to cook around me, but I 
can't eat even the basic things if we can't be a little bit careful 
about things like cross contamination.
