Ooh, that sounds most excellent, Tishy!

Kingland have a Soy Cream Cheese which personally I think is but might be ok in cooking.

Also Carnation have just released a Soy Creamy Cooking Milk which might be an option.]]> Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:36:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=812317&title=non-dairy-substitutes#812317 <![CDATA[Non dairy substitutes : Olivani, Olivite and Golden Harvest...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=811901&title=non-dairy-substitutes#811901 Author: Andie

Olivani, Olivite and Golden Harvest are all good butter alternatives in baking... Golden Harvest ( I think that's the one... might pay to double-check the label first though, if it's not that it's another of similar name in a round tub) is super-cheap too.  If you love creamy dinners you could get into creamy curries instead - ones using coconut milk or coconut cream?  Otherwise, maybe a sad farewell to the fettucine and butter chicken for now?  I found after going dairy-free that some dairyliscious foods didn't taste quite right to me once I did try them again - hard I know, but your tastes change to accomodate.

I use Olivani, or Olivite (only available from New World I have found) as a spread, and Liddells Lactose Free Milk (I'm lactose intolerant rather than dairy free). I don't like soy milk.

Ice cream....Lite Licks is yuuuuummmmm!!!! There's boysenberry, chocolate ripple, hokey pokey and vanilla. They're all pretty good and don't have as much of a soy taste as So Good.

I use sheep or goat feta as well - Delgado I think is the brand - but it's expensive, about $9.50 for a small block?

And I second the Whittakers Dark Chocolate!!! Helps that it tastes gooooood hehehe]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:47:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=811185&title=non-dairy-substitutes#811185 <![CDATA[Non dairy substitutes : For your chicken fettuccine you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=810482&title=non-dairy-substitutes#810482 Author: AandCsmum

For your chicken fettuccine you can make a white sauce with oil instead of butter & rice milk instead of cows milk.

You might be fine with goat feta.

Whittakers dark block is DAIRY FREE.......

I have basically switched canola oil for butter in recipes ie pancakes & they've worked just as well. Muffins are a little heavier but they last longer.

Thanks Blondy, I'd forgotten about Olivani. I will most definitely try So Good Vanilla.

I'm a bit gutted about there not being a substitute for cream. I was thinking about trying coconut cream in my butter chicken but don't think it would work in my chicken fettuccine.

I think there might be a non dairy cream cheese out there... I vaguely remember a vegan friend raving about it. I'll see if I can find it. ]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:18:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=809604&title=non-dairy-substitutes#809604 <![CDATA[Non dairy substitutes : You could use Olivani spread -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=809581&title=non-dairy-substitutes#809581 Author: blondy

You could use Olivani spread - pretty much the only non-dairy spread that isn't full-on margarine, and is pretty good.

I haven't been near cheese for a few months now since becoming dairy-free I tried giving soy cheese to DD, and tasted a bit and it was .

So Good Vanilla ice cream is fantastic though (as far as soy ice creams go), but the chocolate flavour not so much . I prefer the So Good ice cream over the DeLites. Both are rather expensive however.

You might have to revise your cooking habits, as there are really no good alternatives to sour cream and cream cheese AFAIK. There are heaps of non-dairy recipes out there in googleland ]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 19:49:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=809581&title=non-dairy-substitutes#809581 <![CDATA[Non dairy substitutes : Hi girls, I have recently been...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=809529&title=non-dairy-substitutes#809529 Author: Treen

Hi girls,

I have recently been told to avoid dairy due to a massive eczema flair up. I have substituted my milk for soy and rice milk, but when it comes to everything else, I'm at a bit of a loss. I have tried rice butter which I find pretty average, and soy cheese doesn't cook particularly well. I'm also not that keen on soy ice cream... Is there an expert on non dairy products out there?

I cook at least 2 cream based meals a week. I also use cream cheese and sour cream at least once a week and I eat ice cream most nights. ]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 19:06:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29430&PID=809529&title=non-dairy-substitutes#809529
