Pizza, pancakes, French toast, lasagna, ice cream, brownies: the foods that vanish first when dairy and gluten have to go are exactly the ones Denise Jardine brings back. The Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Kitchen gathers more than 150 recipes for every meal of the day, written by a certified nutrition educator who has cooked without dairy for more than twenty years.

It begins with her master recipes, the staples everything else is built on: an all-purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix, a Dairy Milk Alternative, a Fiber-Rich Sandwich Bread, a Creamy Macadamia Pine Nut Cheese and a Soy Velvet Whipped Cream. From there it is Classic French Toast for breakfast, Mushroom Kale Lasagna and Rustic Heirloom Pesto Pizza for dinner, and Pumpkin Cheesecake to finish.

Every recipe is free of dairy and gluten and written to cut back on refined oil and sweeteners, and the ones that also skip eggs, nuts or soy are clearly labeled. It is the practical, encouraging cookbook to hand someone in the week a new diagnosis changes their kitchen.
