Editorial Review: 50,000,000 Americans suffer from lactose intolerance (the inability to digest milk sugar). Millions more suffer from an allergy to dairy products. And many more are deciding to reduce or eliminate dairy products from their diet. For all such people, there has been no way to enjoy desserts that normally call for milk or butter - until now! These recipes, using only naturally low saturated-fat, zero-cholesterol vegetable oils retain the richness and flavor of the most delicious desserts. The book is designed for anyone who wishes to make their own fabulous dairy free desserts. It features "lay-flat binding" for your convenience. The directions & ingredients are printed on facing pages so you will not have to turn pages while you prepare a recipe. Each recipe intentionally uses common ingredients and ordinary equipment to ensure that all these desserts are easy for everyone to prepare. Brownies & Squares - Cakes & Tortes - Cookies & Candies - Muffins & Breads - Pies & Tarts & Cobbl...

A few small problems but still a good book, 2006-12-15
I was very excited to find this book. I love to bake and all of the cookbooks I had have mostly lunch/dinner recipes. This book calls for lots of chocolate and the author tells you to find a dairy-free subsitutes. We all can do that and most of us haven't written a cookbook. Another problem is that a lot of oil is used in this book. Way to much. I made some chocolate chip cookies and COULD NOT even eat any of them because it tasted like oil. (What a waste and very gross.) The last problem is that there is no nutrional values given. However, I still use this book. I just use less oil and only egg whites to cut down on fat. A lot of the muffin recipes are very good.

great cookbook for people with milk allergy, 2006-06-24
To those who gave it a low rating because they wasted their money on a cookbook that's not vegan... um, where does it say it's vegan? It says right in the title "For the Lactose Intolerant, the Dairy-Allergic, and Their Friends and Families."

This book has brought Joy back in to my life. I can have most of the things I had to give up as long im willing to make them myself.

Too much chocolate!, 2004-06-26
This is not a great book for anyone with a serious milk allergy, as many of the recipes call for chocolate, either in chocolate chip or baking chocolate form. I've had a really hard time finding any completely dairy free chocolate to use in baking so many of these recipes were off limits for my milk-allergic child. The book does have a nice selection of "non chocolate" recipes, but overall I found it disappointing.

Not missing out on Dessert, 2001-06-12
The desserts in this book are sinfully decadent. My only concern is that a lot of sugar and oil are used in many of the recipes and therefore they are not low in fat (and are high in calories).
BUT desserts aren't supposed to be low fat etc. so go ahead, if you are missing having GREAT desserts due to a milk allergy, then this is the book for you!
Be sure to try the carrot cake, it is the best I've EVER HAD!
