Tables and charts show calcium, protein, and other nutrients in a variety of plant foods to help you safely replace dairy in your diet.

She provides recipes for chocolates, ice creams, fudge, cupcakes, cobblers, pies and even cheesecake. However, she's a little short on recipes for cakes. Recipes are fast, easy, and have no more than six ingredients, often fewer. With lists of essential tools, key ingredients (including "superfoods" that enhance flavor and nutrition), and full-color photos. Options are given for substitutions. Dehydrator recipes are separated into their own chapter, and kept to a minimum. The reviews average to a 5 star rating. [Kindle edition available.]
Vegan Italiano: Meat-free, Egg-free, Dairy-free Dishes from Sun-Drenched Italy by Donna Klein. None of these recipes call for tofu, soy milk, or other ingredients that mimic meat, dairy, and eggs. Where an Italian recipe traditionally calls for cheese or eggs, the author finds a vegan version or invents one, staying within the norms of the cuisine. Most recipes are less than a page. There are no pictures. The reviews find the recipes delicious. [Kindle edition available.]
The Milk-Free Kitchen: Living Well Without Dairy Products by Beth Kidder and Harold M. Friedman M.D. This cookbook features recipes without milk, butter, and other dairy products. The author includes simple, not particularly exciting recipes for all courses of a meal, but half the book is devoted to breads and desserts. Most of these receipes are food dishes that just about anyone who has cooked before would already know can be prepared without milk. For those not so obvious, the author often substitutes water in the place of milk. The book shows readers how to use fruit juices, soy milk and tofu in place of dairy products. It gives advice on ordering meals in restaurants and on plane trips, and provides a list of food products to avoid.
The Food Allergy Mama's Baking Book: Great Dairy-, Egg-, and Nut-Free Treats for the Whole Family by Kelly Rudnicki. This is a guide to everyday baked goods free of dairy, eggs, and nuts.

In addition, the book is filled with practical advice about dealing with classroom and birthday parties, as well as easy ingredient substitution ideas. The many, many Amazon reviews average to 5 stars. I couldn't find any negatives posted.

More than 200 recipes, many "ethnic", cover all meals, desserts, snacks. Includes delicious and creative substitutes for dairy ingredients.

There are 115 easy-to-follow recipes for soups, salads, entrees, vegetables, desserts and breakfast foods. There is an emphasis on fast and that use easy-to-find ingredients. This book offers more of the accessible recipes than its predecessor (see just above). More than half of the book is dedicated to non-dessert items. Sections covering meats, side dishes and sweets offer family-friendly choices for those who must avoid dairy, egg and nuts. The book has many reviews at Amazon. The only comment keeping it from being a flawless 5 stars is one fellow prefers The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook.
Sweet Gratitude: A New World of Raw Desserts by Matthew Rogers and Tiziana Alipo Tamborra. Like the other raw cookbooks, dairy, gluten, or refined sugar are not ingredients. The recipes range from simple and quick to advanced and detailed, showing how versatile commonly used fruits and nuts are for whipping up innovative and beautiful desserts. Provides authoritative information on techniques and specialty ingredients. Emphasizing the seasonal and the regional, Sweet Gratitude contains fresh takes on old favorites like pumpkin pie and tiramisu, as well as ingenious new creations like Pomegranate Fig Tart, Brazil Nut Chocolate Ganache, and Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies with Goji Berry Jam. Color photos. The only negatives posted in the reviews are a couple people find the ingredients expensive.
The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook: Two Hundred Gourmet & Homestyle Recipes for the Food Allergic Family by Cybele Pascal. All recipes are free of the top eight allergens: dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish and also refined sugar. However, many recipes call for the use of barley, oats, rye, spelt and she even recommends certain beers such as Corona and Sam Adams in some recipes. She does make the statement "This cookbook avoids foods that cause food allergies, but does not address food intolerances." The book has a shopping guide for hard-to-find items and a food allergy information resource guide. The more than 100 Amazon reviews average to 4+ stars.
Levana Cooks Dairy-Free! Natural and Delicious Recipes for Your Favorite "Forbidden" Foods by Levana Kirschenbaum. Beautiful photos occupy the bulk of this book's space. The textual material is scant in quantity. Recipes contain tricks and are written in a step-by-step manner. The book has three ecstatic reviews that don't say much, but are ecstatic.

The book has tips for the best birthday parties, perfect picnic baskets, cool cupcake towers, snacks in a cinch, tasty travel treats, and bonus gluten-free recipes.

Gluten, Wheat, and Dairy Free Cookbook by Antoinette Savill. All of the recipes are wheat free, but despite what the title states, only most are gluten and dairy free. For the ones with a gluten containing flour she claims you can adapt by changing the type of flour or pasta used. About a third of the book is for desserts, most of which are recipes that people on gluten, wheat or dairy free diets could not normally eat.
The Everyday Dairy-Free Cookbook: Over 180 Delicious Recipes to Make Eating a Pleasure by Miller Rogers and Emily White. This cookbook explains lactose intolerance in detail, from recognizing symptoms to where to find help. The book includes 12 pages of color photos that accompany 200 recipes for family meals; a special section on cooking for children; substitutions for milk, butter, and cheese; and menu suggestions and nutritional analysis. However, a reviewer claims recipes are complex and use gourmet ingredients, not everyday fare. Another points out they are complex only if you don't stock turmeric, curry powder, cumin, ginger root, canned coconut milk, and pine nuts at home.

The Milk Soy Protein Intolerance Guidebook / Cookbook by Tamara Field. Recipes will use ingredients like margarine, leaving it up to you to make sure it is a dairy-free one.

Alternatively, though not in the book, you can buy a Vitamix and make the milk in one step. The recipes in the book are organized by the type of nut or seed in the base, and include chapters for almonds, cashews, pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds (mainly tahini), and sunflower seeds.

Cooking Without Milk: Milk-Free and Lactose-Free Recipes: More Than 400 Recipes for Those Who Suffer with Allergies or Intolerance to Milk and Milk By-Products by Florence E. Schroeder. Cooking Without Milk is completely milk-free, with more than 400 recipes and variations of regular foods with ingredients found in most grocery stores. 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. But reviewers claim the author simply uses regular recipes and when milk or butter is required, she simply writes "use non dairy milk substitute" or "use non dairy butter substitute". She does not recommend any particular brands, she simply writes "read the label". So save your money find a good milk and butter non dairy substitute and READ THE LABELS. The recipes are bland and the author does not give a complete list of ingredients to look out for/avoid when you are "reading the labels".
Totally Dairy-Free Cooking by Louis Lanza uses soy cheese with casein in many recipes, as a melting cheese is needed for recipe success. So, despite the book's title, the recipes are not totally dairy-free. Lanza is the executive chef and co-owner of Josie's Restaurant & Juice Bar, NYC's premier dairy-free restaurant.
As a group the lactose intolerance cookbooks are unimpressive. Some simply take regular recipes and change milk to milk substitute and butter to margerine. If one is lactose intolerant any of the totally dairy-free books will work, or use regular recipes and make one's own substitutions. Despite this, as I found them when collecting books for this page, I've given them their own sub-page: Lactose Intolerance Cookbooks.
