I was so happy when a friend gave me this book to try on my son who is lactose intoelrant and can't usually enjoy the desserts we all take for granted. The ingredients are available in any supmarket. (no specialty store searching with Julia necessary here!) He couldn't believe me at first, but loved every bite. We especially loved the Mocha Jake Cake.

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!

I could not believe these are dairy-free. I have never been able to find a cookbook of this nature that had such a wide variety of dairy free desserts. All are incredibly delicious. This book was worth every penny!

This fabulous book is nothing short of a miracle for those of us who are lactose-intolerant. Delicious dairy-free deserts are ours to enjoy again. Thank you for this wonderful book!

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."

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.

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.

I am very disappointed in this book. As a vegan who does not use ANY animal products (milk, butter, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, etc.), I was lured by the idea of a "dairy-free" dessert cookbook. When I received it and looked through it, I was astounded to note that almost every recipe calls for eggs!!! There is a note in the front of the book that EggBeaters may be substituted, but since they are animal-based, I don't use them - ever. This was a waste of my money.
