Foreword

Back to top


Being wheat intolerant for years it came as a shock late last year (2010) when I finally discovered I was dairy intolerant all along as well.

For a few years beforehand I had lots of symptoms and just couldn't get it pinpointed down to any specific cause. Over the last few years, my symptoms included fainting, bloating, no energy, diarrhea, aches and pains, stomach cramps, a 'cloudy-like' brain, psoriasis and rhinitis (I was even being scheduled for an operation on my nose, which is no longer necessary due to the benefits of the dairy exclusion). I was being tested over the years for heart problems, throat cancer, and whatever else could be thrown at me.

It has taken ten months, learning new food habits and creating new recipes. Better still my recipe collection is growing all the time. At first I found it difficult to just think without dairy and still get the required nutrients but you can get them from the vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and the like.

Reworking the new recipes many times they are now staples in my kitchen recipe collection. My husband cleverly called them my dairy free starter pack. If you are struggling with having to exclude dairy for whatever reason, be it health or lifestyle choice and believing it has to be boring then think again. There is a whole new world of flavour, choice and wonderful recipes beckoning you and includes a far wider range of vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, lentils, beans, grains and lots more than you could have imagined.

Also, I suspect that the reason you gravitated towards this book was because like me, you have become or are becoming aware that things like commonly used wheat, dairy, cane and beet sugar or some combinations thereof cause you some difficulty. If that is you then fear no more because this book is filled with recipes excluding them. I hope this book acts as a stepping stone to a life where the kinds of the treats you used to enjoy are not just available to you in a different form but are as delicious, if not better, and also fun to make.
