 the better of two April 27, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Jane Zukin's _Dairy-Free Cookbook_ has some of the same drawbacks as _The Milk-Free Kitchen_ (although I had best say now that I have the 1989 version and there is a newer version in print, which I have not seen). Many, though not all, of the main-dish recipes call for meat (though of course vegetarian bouillon can be substituted for beef or chicken broth); the product information, though much *more* thorough than that in _T. M.-F. C._, is still limited and somewhat dated. But altogether I like it much better.Preceding the recipes is a section on the different types and symptoms of milk allergy, on the importance of supplements, and help with shopping and dining out. The information is thorough and understandable. The recipes range from the appealing to the *weird* (I, for one, don't wish to bake bologna in pie crust as an appetizer....), but there are enough recipes and a wide enough range that everyone should find something appealing. The recipes feed four, six, usually eight, or occasionally ten or twelve persons, which is a plus for me because our family appreciates leftovers for lunches. However, this might pose a problem if one were cooking for only two or three. Again, soy products are used minimally. I will add that I intend to buy the new edition of this book.
 One of the better cookbooks for the milk-allergic November 19, 1996

Many people assume that being allergic to milk meanslactose intolerance. That just isn't true -- there are several proteins in milk which trigger true allergic reactions in many. Zukin's book explains the difference, and offers up a large number of easy recipes for those who have to cope. She relies on milk-substitutes (rice and soybeverages) more than one might like (see Kidder's _Milk FreeKitchen for a cookbook which doesn't), but her recipes areimaginative and fairly good. Her chocolate cake recipein particular has an excellent flavor and texture balance.This is one of the best books for explaining the kinds ofproblems people have consuming milk products and what onecan do about it
