Product Description
Cooking Without Milk is a straightforward, commonsense cookbook for the 50 million people in America who have milk or lactose intolerances or allergies. Unlike most of the current milk-free cookbooks that are free of lactose but not necessarily of milk, Cooking Without Milk is completely milk-free, with more than 550 recipes and variations of the foods people eat regularly with ingredients found in most grocery stores today. Many current milk-free cookbooks assume that lactose is the only problem ingredient in milk, require ingredients that are hard to find, and presume that cooks are mainly interested in making gourmet, time-consuming dishes. Cooking Without Milk, however, assumes that most people who cook milk-free don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Cooking is not their only pastime. Cooking Without Milk includes a wide range of recipes— main dishes, vegetables, soups, sandwiches, egg dishes, breads, deserts, beverages, and sauces, gravies, and glazes. Also included are guides to the role of milk and milk products in diet, high-lactose foods to avoid, a guide to calcium and calcium-rich foods, and other useful information for those who cannot consume milk. The author also suggests ways in which to determine one's level of milk intolerance, how to live comfortably while avoiding milk, eating in restaurants, accepting invitations that involve meals, milk products in medications, knowing how to find hidden milk in the ingredients of everyday foods, what to be careful about when buying from an in-store deli, and a list of Web sites for those who want to research milk intolerance for themselves.

 Cooking Without Milk November 25, 2007

This cook book is terrible and provides no new information or recipes. There is one recipe that is given for a Fruit Salad and then includes onions and other vegetables, clearly a typo. I would not suggest this book.
 I was hoping for more... March 9, 2006

Best page of the book is 254, the list of milk and dairy byproduct names to help you decipher the product labels.
Almost 100 pages are devoted to breads and desserts. So I guess if you can't have dairy, you can still get fat. Quite a few of the recipes have the "duh" factor...salads and things you hardly need a recipe for. Substituting mocha mix for regular milk in normal recipes..."duh".
What I would love to find, is a book that tells me how to make non-dairy versions of ubiquitous ingredients. Like a non-dairy substitute for a can of cream of mushroom soup.

I felt so talked down to and I am far from a proffessional chef. Just cook for the kids and a regular working mom. So do yourself a favor:
1 Check out the glossary section alone -either in a book store or at the library BEFORE you buy.
If you can't do that here are just a few of my personal favorites that this author took the time to DEFINE in the glossary: OIL, FLOUR, OATS, BANANAS, WAX PAPER, MAYONNAISE- (no kidding)
2 Look up the book "The Milk-Free Kitchen : Living Well Without Dairy Products" AND BUY THAT INSTEAD!!
Don't make the mistake I did and buy Cooking without Milk sight unseen. Well, on second thought if you don't know what a can opener is our how to use one this may be the book for you.
Save your money. The author is LAZY!! August 22, 2005

This book does not contain dairy free recipes. The female author simply uses regular recipes and when milk or butter is required, she simply writes "use non dairy milk substitute" or "use non dairy butter substitute". Well duh! I could have figured that out. She does not recommend any particular brands, she simply writes "read the label". Again, duh! I could have figured that out. So save your money find a good milk and butter non dairy substitute and READ THE LABELS. The recipes are bland and the author does not give a complete list of ingriedients to look out for/avoid when you are "reading the labels". This book was poorly written and is uninformative.

This is the BEST milk-free cookbook I have found anywhere!! At 5 weeks old my son was diagnosed with milk and soy allergies. We both went on a milk-free and soy-free diet. I tried many cookbooks but this one was the only one that included "normal" recipes I could use daily. The recipes are practical and delicious. Recipes for cream soups, gravies, biscuits, and other "taboo" items are given and they taste like "real" food. The author also includes advice, substitution ideas, website addresses, and lots of encouragement. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to eliminate milk from their diets - I still use the book daily!
