The fall issue of Allergic Living Magazine hit the shelves this month, and we were honored to see a glowing review of Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook featured within. Thank you to writer Gwen Smith for her thorough review in the October 2009 book review section. Gwen writes,

"Author Alisa Marie Fleming calls this a “guide and cookbook,” and what particularly impresses is the depth of the former. This is no quick gloss-over: it’s a comprehensive, must-have resource for those avoiding dairy. The author, who’s well-known for her website Godairyfree.org, walks the reader through the dairy allergy basics and offers extensive lists of both hidden dairy sources and ingredients that will inspire.

There are thorough sections on dairy substitutes (homemade margarine, anyone?) and creative recipes, from soups to salads to curries and Make Your Own Pizza (without cheese.) Baking without dairy is usually a challenge, but Fleming rises to the task with the likes of Coconut Fudge Brownies, Orange Chocolate Chunk Cup- cakes, and Pumpkin “Cheesecake”."

Gwen also gave a positive review to one of my new favorites, Enjoy Life's Cookies for Everyone!, so I feel honored that we are in such good company.
