[.ca] The Lactose-Free Family Cookbook (ISBN 1896503241)

Wacky but useful:
I categorize certain cookbooks as "wacky". The presenceof recipes with names like "pear ginger cake" or "roastedratatouille pizza", for example, will put a cookbook in the wacky category. This should not be confused with bad. Main does use yogurt and aged cheese in many of the recipes, so this is far from the best cookbook for those with true milk allergies. But both the allergic and the lactose intolerant will find the introductory material enjoyable and enlightening; Brenda Davis' explanation of calcium absorption is one of the most up-to-date I've seen in a cookbook. Nutritional information for each recipe is supplied. The presentation is attractive, and while this isn't exactly a complete basic cookbook, the directions are fairly detailed and do not assume much expertise. The layout of the recipes, notes and directions is exceptionally attractive

Lactose-Free Family Cookbook:
I thought this was a great cookbook: not only did it go into what lactose intolerance is, but it also offered multiple suggestions about how to meet adequate calcium requirements (as well as other nutritional requirements) when one is lactose intolerant. I tried out quite a few of the receipes and found them to be wonderful; even my friends who are not lactose intolerant loved them.
