5.0 out of 5 stars The Title is Misleading, November 18, 2009

If "The Complete Idiot's Guide" sounds frivolous to you, keep reading. My granddaughter at the ripe old age of 5 has a severe lactose intolerance. She also has a mom and grandmother who are both excellent cooks. The cooks have given this book nothing but rave reviews. They both use the book so much that I bought them each a copy. If you are looking for just one cook book to truly protect someone with a lactose problem and at the same time provide an amazingly complete array of delicious and attractive recipes (that are great for the whole family, not just the allergic person), I'd say this is the one. We have a library of cook books that fills one wall of shelves. About a dozen books of those books are about lactose intolerance and food allergies, but this one by far gets the most use.

To be honest, I was disappointed that so many of the recipes include soy creamer. I try to stay away from soy products as much as possible for health reasons. I know of no subsitute for this product so I feel that I can't use any of the recipes that include it as an ingredient. If you tolerate soy products though, I believe you will enjoy it.
