New to dairy-free? Start here
- Dairy means milk from cows, goats, and sheep, plus butter, cheese, cream, yogurt, whey, and casein.
- Eggs are not dairy, and "non-dairy" on a label does not always mean milk-free.
- A milk allergy and lactose intolerance are different. A doctor can tell you which one you're dealing with.
- Soy and oat milk give the creamiest results in sauces and baking.
- Read the label of every packaged ingredient, every time you buy it.
The full beginner's guide (labels, cross-contact, a swap chart, and how to convert your own recipes) is in the book.
