I don't have children with milk allergies, but when I came upon this book, I just had to try the recipes. They all looked so good and something that my whole family would enjoy. The dishes were exactly what I was looking for. My family couldn't tell there were any different ingredients, and I love the taste of all that I have tried. A good choice for families of all backgrounds.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest..., October 1, 2011

Some of the recipes have incorrect quantities in them. One said it makes a dozen muffins but it actually made twenty four and a sheet pan! The recipes are mostly ones that don't normally contain milk, so that's great, but you can get that from any old cookbook. I got a few good recipes from it, but I would have rented from the library and just copied down a few recipes instead of purchasing it. Save your money for another cookbook.

I love this book. Best online purchase I've made. The text is informative since I just developed a milk allergy in mid-life. I've made a couple of the recipes and they are very good. (I've even had non-allergy people ask for recipe!) The list of substitutions is very helpful. Many items can be purchased at local supermarket. The special chocolate chips had to be purchased at health food store - but worth the trip. I've recommended the book to my dentist already.
