My new favorite cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I love this book! I usually get a cookbook, make a few recipes, and set it aside, never to be used again. But The Uncheese Cookbook is different. I've made at least one delicious recipe per week since I bought it. My girlfriend and I especially love the Chedda Soup with cauliflower and the Potato Chowder. The Nacho Cheez sauce is also wonderful. I highly recommend this book to all vegans, lactose intolerant people, and anyone who wants to eat less dairy but still enjoy delicious comfort food.

bizzarre!!! 1 out of 5 stars.

I'm not sure what kind of "real dairy cheese" these reviewers are used to eating that they are comparing these recipes to. I have tried several recipes and they are NOTHING like dairy cheese. We use the nacho dip recipe for mac and cheese but all the others that we've tried have been bland, not tasted like cheese, and/or been gross. The block cheese sort of gets the texture but the 2 we tried were nasty! And my husband eats most anything! I miss real cheese and this book didn't really help.

Editorial Review:

For this tenth anniversary edition of her popular The Uncheese Cookbook, author Jo Stepaniak has completely revised her acclaimed orginal recipes and added many new ones. Includes an introduction by Vesanto Melina, RD, on safely eliminating dairy products from the diet.

Try this cookbook FIRST if you are allergic to Milk!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

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Some of the manufactures of subst items she lists are A LITTLE outdated, but we all know to check labels and I still found her tips very useful.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?

Editorial Review:

Here is the only all-purpose, appetizers-to-candy cookbook for the millions of Americans who must avoid having milk and milk products in their diets.

A Terrific Dairy-Free Cookbook!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I bought a copy of this book after reading a newspaper article on the author that also featured some of the recipes included in the book. It's a great addition to my cookbook collection. Although I don't have a problem with dairy foods, I have some friends that can't tolerate them, so I bought this book to help me create a dairy-free dinner party. It was a huge success. I found the recipes easy to prepare and my friends raved about the dishes I served. The biggest "hit" on the menu was the Coconut-Lime Seafood Stew and I had to prove that the Flourless Chocolate Almond Cake contained no dairy ingredients. I found the book to be very informative and liked the fact that I could find all the ingredients at a local grocery store. My "dairy challenged" friends all want a copy of this book, so part of my Christmas shopping is already taken care of!! Thanks Denise

Brilliant book - simple, useful and written by someone who went through the process from scratch

Editorial Review:

Containing over 400 gluten and dairy free recipes, the book will be invaluable to all those whose diet is restricted due to food intolerances. An increasing number of people on the autism spectrum are turning to the gluten and casein free diet and finding that many of the more troublesome symptoms are significantly alleviated. Coeliacs, and those with lactose and other intolerances, will also find a wealth of useful ideas for cooking without gluten or dairy products and expanding what may initially seem a very restrictive repertoire of possible meals.

Great Recipes for the health minded baker! 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I love this cookbook. It has great information on all types of sweeteners and goes through many different types of oils and flours too. The main ingredients she uses in this book for sweeteners are brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup and some have maple syrup. It is pretty easy to find the ingredients and the directions are easy to follow although I am a fairly experienced baker so I do "add lib" when I cook and find that the end result has been great. I made the lemon cake with the sauce but minus the lemon tofu cream because I have a slight allergy to soy. Tofu is definately a required taste and she uses very little in this book and it can easily be omitted.
She does use carob in some recipes so if you do not like carob you can just use cocoa powder or non dairy tropical source chocolate chips. There are quite a few color photos too.
I look forward to making more recipes from this book and the book is worth buying just for the eye opening info she provides on chemicals and how some of our ingredients are processed. It really motivates you to try to find a more natural alternative.

Editorial Review:

Acclaimed natural foods chef Meredith McCarty brings together simple recipes for pies, cobblers, cakes, cookies, sorbets, and fresh-fruit desserts that are both healthful and delicious. Using fresh fruit, whole-grain flours, natural sweeteners, and light vegetable oils, the recipes range from home-spun classics to spectacular newcomers, including blackberry cobbler, chocolate-pecan bourbon bundt cake, peach and cherry pie, lemon-walnut tea cake, fresh plum galette, raspberry sorbet, orange-ginger oatmeal crunch cookies, fresh strawberry compote with orange-ginger syrup, and many more.

Sweet and Natural is a must-have resource for anyone who wants or needs to eliminate unwanted fat, refined sugar, and cholesterol-and celebrate good health with great desserts.

Editorial Review:

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.

Definitely a godsend 5 out of 5 stars.
22 of 22 people found this review helpful.

My partner complained of a lack of options when I told him he should stop eating dairy. (He has a dairy sensitivity and was at the time avoiding cow's milk, but still eating goat dairy.) Then I found, among other things, this book at the local natural foods store, and it disproved that theory quickly.

Our household agrees that the cheese sauces work very well. The hard cheeses, I found that I liked, but my sweetie disagreed. The "Melty Pizza Cheeze" is one of his favorites, whereas I don't much enjoy it, probably for the same reason why he likes it ("It's exactly like squeeze cheese! Except all, like, natural and healthy and stuff!")

There hasn't been a single thing we've tried from this book that *one* of us hasn't liked, and the most valuable thing in it is the substitution information, which allows us to make familiar recipes with different components -- such as the sweetened condensed soymilk recorded here, which made a fabulous key lime pie. (We couldn't even taste the difference.) It's allowed my partner to continue eating variations on "normal food" that he otherwise would have missed, and which the rest of the family enjoys as much in their altered forms as we do the standard versions. High praise.

Furthermore, although this is not an issue for us, I'm pleased by the sensitivity of the book to people with soy allergies; many of the recipes have variations made with non-soy products, which I'm sure must come as a great relief to those who can't have either milk or soy.

Editorial Review:

Over 100 delicious recipes for managing milk allergy and lactose intolerance by two renown vegan chefs, Bryanna Clark Grogan and Jo Stepaniak, show that you needn't give up your favorite foods due to allergies.

Includes home tests to help determine dairy allergies and tables listing the breakdown of lactose in popular foods.
