5.0 out of 5 stars Safe, Healthy Alternative to Dairy, Especially for Children!, June 2, 2002

This review is from: Not Milk-- Nut Milks!: 40 Of the Most Original Dairy-Free Milk Recipes Ever! (Paperback)

This is an excellent book not only for children with allergies, but for everyone looking for healthy alternatives... Almonds are hypoallergenic naturally and almond milk is perfectly safe - better yet when organic almonds are used. Peanuts (a bean, really, and not a nut at all) are one of the highest allergens in young children. Peanuts are also not the best choice for nut milks. Almonds contain proteins, fats, carbohydrates, calcium, potassium, and magnesium - they are the BEST choice for nut milks. Other "good" nuts are cashews, pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, pumpkinseeds, sesame seeds (may be a tad strong for the wee ones) and sunflower seeds. This book has 40 wonderful recipes. I have the first edition of this book (1990) for it's been a trusted freind for over 10 years and I have tested each and every recipe myself and they truly are wonderful... I HIGHLY recommend it. The best part is that it really gets you inspired and after tasting the delicious elixir, and knowing all of the benefits, you will NEVER buy boxes soy, rice or almond milk again. It's really a lovely book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helped me to patent an invention!, October 29, 1999

This review is from: Not Milk-- Nut Milks!: 40 Of the Most Original Dairy-Free Milk Recipes Ever! (Paperback)

This little gem has a neat collection of simple, easy to follow recipes for non-dairy milks that can be prepared from nut and seed slurries...Not only can these milks be used alone, but also in dishes that require milk or for the Kosher cook. These milks are also great for children who don't get enough of their essential fats from their regular diet or who have allergies to milk proteins.

This review is from: Not Milk-- Nut Milks!: 40 Of the Most Original Dairy-Free Milk Recipes Ever! (Paperback)

I was extremely pleased with this book in that it offered a myriad of recipes for application not only with different nuts, but also different recipes for each type. As a new vegan I have found it very cost effective to make my own raw milks at home, and one can speculate the additional benefits of avoiding the preservatives in the more expensive store bought options. I especially appreciated the recipe for dairy/egg-free "egg" nog =). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the benefits of nut milks for whatever reason, and especially if you are on a limited budget (like myself) that does not make room for store bought nut milks. If you are trying to remove dairy from your diet, you will also find that these milks make viable substitutes for dairy milk as ingredients in most recipes. Thanks for this infinitely useful product!
