As others have mentioned, these are recipes for basic homecooking. Some reviewers have been disappointed because they already know how to cook a lot of these recipes. I'm an experienced cook, and yes I already know how to bake a chicken, but I still love this book.
It provides hundreds of milk-free recipes in one book. No more searching for a milk-free recipe for every dinner, potluck, or party. I only recently started cooking milk-free, so a lot of my recipes have milk, butter, or cheese. It's so convenient to have lots to choose from in one place.
Also, the author has already experimented with milk replacements so I don't have to. (For example: I already loved rice pudding, but rice milk was too watery and wasn't working well with my recipe. I was glad to see the author suggests coconut milk instead. Now I know what to use and I can enjoy my favorite pudding again!)
The recipes are every day foods kids will enjoy. Nothing too gourmet. And lots of deserts to choose from for special occasions. I'll choose a cake from this book for my son's upcoming birthday, it's such a relief not to worry about finding a recipe!
There are also recipes for whipped cream and cake icing if you don't want to use the hydrogenated, tran-fat milk-free name brands. There are also "ice creams" if you don't have brand name soy ice cream available.
All our favorites can now be made milk-free! I'm so delighted that I found this book!
Great book, worth the money February 17, 2007

I recently discovered that my various symptoms were not in my head, but were in fact due to dairy allergy. Since giving up dairy, I no longer have aching joints, upset stomach, fatigue, hives, and a skin condition (since giving up dairy, the skin condition is almost completely gone). This book is the best book I've seen so far. The recipes are simple and tasty. If you're a true cheese lover like I am, I don't believe you're going to find anything that replaces the taste of cheese. So, if you're looking for something that tastes EXACTLY like dairy but isn't -- forget it. However, if you're willing to try something different so you can have better health, then this book is great. It's also a good source of information on dairy intolerance and allergy.
not too bad for a 2% lover November 10, 2006

I work full time, I have 2 kids, I don't have time to make all sorts of substitutes and marinate stuff for hours. This is simple, easy to follow book with results that are really tastey. INCLUDING DESSERTS!!! The whole family ate these reciepes no questions asked! They didn't even know that they were eating dairy free until I told them a week later. I have yet to have one reciepe flop!!
Some of the manufactures of subst items she lists are A LITTLE outdated, but we all know to check labels and I still found her tips very useful. I had been adjusting to not eating at all when in doubt, with this book I am starting to explore more in milk free cooking because I have less doubts.
As for "Cooking Without Milk: Milk-Free and Lactose-Free Recipes" Light a match and just burn your cash..not worth the paper it's on. I mean...Do you really need a recipe for a peanut and butter sandwich?
Good for those allergic to milk and soy August 1, 2005

My son is allergic to both dairy and soy. about 1/5th of all those with milk allergies are also allergic to soy. This book provides many recipes that do not rely heavily on milk substitutes and thus are a Godsend to thus of us who can't just add soy to make it work.
