The Lactose-Free Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the silliest cookbook I have EVER read.Sheri Updike doesn't offer interesting new takes on the foods we all love; she substitutes lactose-free milk and margarine for regular milk and butter and claims to have created new recipes.She offers a "recipe" for Jiffy cornbread mix, using lactose-free milk and margarine!I could have done that when I was in middle school, but I was too busy baking dairy-free cornbread from scratch!And did I mention that Updike's writing is awful?For example, "According to personal taste, as the eggs cook the whites will become opaque and the yolks will harden."Actually, I'm pretty certain that regardless of my "personal taste," the eggs will cook as above--that's basic science--which, like basic writing, Updike apparently missed.Avoid this book!

The Milk-Free Kitchen: Living Well Without Dairy Products Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a mother of a child who has recently been diagnosed with milk allergy, I found this book disappointing. Prior to it's purchase, I had spent a considerable amount of time in health food stores becoming familiar withall the substitutes there are for milk - such as rice "milk", soyproducts, etc.. None of these are used in this book. As the author admits,this book focuses on what a person can eat. Most of these receipes are fooddishes that just about anyone who has cooked before would already know canbe prepared without milk.For those not so obvious, the author onlysubstitutes water in the place of milk. I could have just as easily look upthese receipes in a regular cook book.What I really needed was somethingthat helps me create dishes for my daughter that she loves, but that shecan no longer have due to her allergy. What I found most helpful was thesection on cheese and have since started giving my daughter goat cheeseproducts to see if she can tolerate this.
To anyone in search of goodmilk-free receipes, I suggest writing to or going to the web site of thosecompanies who make products to replace dairy, such as soy, rice, almond,and other multi-gran products.They have really saved me.
