Dairy Free Tips

There are so many good dairy free products out there that substituting out cows milk for non dairy alternatives pretty easy.  Non-dairy margarines are in all supermarkets, as is a wide range of non-dairy milks – Hemp, Rice, Oat and Nut milks.

It’s really down to personal preference over taste, although please remember that Rice Milk isn’t recommended for toddlers due to the arsenic content.

Here are a few of our tips for  dairy free baking and cooking:

  1. Our favourite dairy-free spread is Vitalite, although Flora and Pure are pretty good too.
  2.  I’ve never quite understood why so many vegan baking recipes call for flavourless oil! We melt margarine to add to cakes to pack in as much flavour as possible.
  3. For cream substitutes we like Oatly although if you can have Soya then Alpro Cream is a good option and a more ‘cream like’ colour than Oatly.
  4. Add Trex to baking cookies to make them chewier (divide the fat between Trex and Dairy free margarine).
  5. Trex is best for making pastries – the dairy free margarines don’t produce a flakey enough result.
  6. We prefer Koko milk in smoothies, to make porridge and in baking. Nut alternatives are good, but we’re allergic so we don’t use them.
  7. Violife Cheese and Daiya Cheese are great, the Daiya Mozzarella melts and is great on pizza.
  8. There are lots of dairy free ice creams available. Our favourite brands are Booja Booja (although not okay for those with nut allergy), Coconuts, Coyo and Ben & Jerry’s Vegan Ice cream. If you fancy making your own then do use Coconut Cream, not Oatly or Soya Cream.
  9. Don’t try to make a baked cheesecake with dairy free cream cheese – it doesn’t work!. Go for a refrigerated recipe. Here’s our Dairy Free Cheesecake.
  10. Jus Rol makes great ready to roll pastry and pastries such has Pain au Chocolat – you may not be able to eat pastries when you are out and about but Jus Rol makes having them at home simple.

Gluten Free – Watch List

I use to think avoiding dairy and eggs was tricky. Especially when explaining to other people. Then Molly had to go gluten free for a while, and eventually so did I.  Suddenly saying ‘vegan’ seemed easier. Here are our tips when you enter the gluten
