 excellent! July 3, 2005

I bought this book (though not on Amazon) and I am very happy with it. I recently became very lactose intolerant and this was just the book I needed. One good thing about this book is that, unlike many other "milk-free" cookbooks, it doesn't just substitute soy milk for milk products. To me, the most important recipes are those for pancakes, french toast, muffins, biscuits, and many dessert recipes that usually use milk. I would recommend this book!
Great book if you like to bake! April 5, 2005

Although I was initially disappointed in my purchase, I have since then changed my mind and consider this book one of my absolute favorites.
My initial negative repsonse was due to the fact that I purchased it right after I found I had a dairy allergy. I was desperately seeking out recipes that would allow me to eat satisfying meals. This book does not have strong "meal" recipe content and I was disappointed.
Since then, I have come to appreciate the baking recipes quite a bit. Do I have to give up French toast? Pancakes? Birthday cakes? NO! I can even provide breads and coffee cakes to family functions and no one even knows they're dairy-free! I always get recipe-requests when I bake the peanut butter brownies.
The key to this cookbook is that it's for the type of person who has figured out how to balance their daily dietary needs and finds themselves in a position where they want to be decadent. Cakes, frostings, cookies, brownies, rolls, breads, you name it, it's in there.
 Not so great! March 9, 2005

To put it simply - I made a few of the suggested meals and they were far from delicious.

My son, now 2, was diagnosed with Galactosemia at birth. This inturn for those who don't know, is an enzyme deficiency aimed at galactose (found in Milk and Milk Proteins).
I have to say this book was helpful on many levels but also the same as many other books. An introduction to food allergies and what not I've read many times. I was however happy to see not only an explaination on allergies but also a lactase/galactose digestion topic coverage section. My son is unable to have the other options described as goat milk and what not. And yes, some of the recipes in this book are already known to not contain milk and not just to substitute soy in everything! I'm so tired of eating like a vegetarian because all of the recipes around are soya this and soya that. This is not like that at all! And it is nice to have all of these recipes in just one book instead of 5 books.. or cards. This book has a variety of recipes from breads to entrees to cookies and cakes. One thing that caught my attention was the Chocolate Chip Cookies. Something I had given up on quite a while ago. I decided to look for chips without milk in them one last time. I am happy to say my son will eat chocolate chip cookies for the first time ever, this christmas! This book has yielded more opportunities for my family and myself since we restrict our diet to make him not feel any different from the rest of us. Thank you Ms. Kidder.
good basic cookbook August 13, 2004

This is a good basic cookbook for the lactose-intollerant. I particularly like the breads section as most "normal" bread and muffin recipes rely on milk products, and it's hard in general to find good breakfast recipes that do not include milk products. Also, this cookbook doesn't use unusual ingredients, which is a big plus to me.
