Milk allergy is an adverse immune reaction to one or more proteins in cow's milk. When allergy symptoms occur, they can occur rapidly or have a gradual onset. The former may include anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition which requires treatment with epinephrine among other measures. The latter can take hours to days to appear, with symptoms including atopic dermatitis, inflammation of the esophagus, enteropathy involving the small intestine and proctocolitis involving the rectum and colon.In the United States, 90% of allergic responses to foods are caused by eight foods, with cow's milk being the most common. Recognition that a small number of foods are responsible for the majority of food allergies has led to requirements to prominently list these common allergens, including dairy, on food labels. One function of the immune system is to defend against infections by recognizing foreign proteins, but it should not over-react to food proteins. Heating milk proteins can cause them to become denatured, meaning to lose their 3-dimensional configuration, and thus lose allergenicity; for this reason dairy-containing baked goods may be tolerated while fresh milk triggers an allergic reaction.
Management is by avoiding eating any dairy foods or foods that contain dairy ingredients. In people with rapid reactions (IgE-mediated milk allergy), the dose capable of provoking an allergic response can be as low as a few milligrams, so recommendations are to avoid dairy strictly. The declaration of the presence of trace amounts of milk or dairy in foods is not mandatory in any country, with the exception of Brazil.Milk allergy affects between 2% and 3% of babies and young children. To reduce risk, recommendations are that babies should be exclusively breastfed for at least four months, preferably six months, before introducing cow's milk. If there is a family history of dairy allergy, then soy infant formula can be considered, but about 10 to 15% of babies allergic to cow's milk will also react to soy. The majority of children outgrow milk allergy, but for about 0.4% the condition persists into adulthood. Oral immunotherapy is being researched, but it is of unclear benefit.
This is another of our old favourites from the long since deceased BBC Vegetarian Good food magazine which ceased publication back in the 90's!
If you are making a dairy free version then you have a couple of options but by far the best tasting is to switch to homemade cashew nut milk and...
For once, I can actually provide a reference. We have adapted this cake to make it dairy free, from the Vegetarian Kitchen by Sarah Brown. Our copy is dated as a first reprint in 1984. It is one of those books that 'walked' when I left for university. It had been my parents attempt at adapting...
The original version of this recipe used cheddar cheese, specifically stating vegetarian cheese so I suspect that it may have came from a vegetarian magazine but I can't be sure. I do know that the format is wrong for the BBC Vegetarian Good food magazine (long since died a death sadly), so I...
This has been a favourite for years until my dairy allergy kicked in to full anaphylaxis. It goes without saying that you can make it with dairy versions of everything. It works really Well with a good tasty Cheddar like Wexford.
Ingredients
350g Wholemeal flour (plain)
2 tsp baking powder

the cheese mixture must not come into contact with the metal of the springform tin so it must be lined before the mixture is added and shaped into a cheese.
This is another of my old mushroom recipes from the now defunct BBC Vegetarian Good food Magazine back from 1994(?) . I have also found a similar version (minus the garlic and parsley) in an old Guardian article from 2001.
Ingredients
2 eggs
100g plain flour
75ml soya milk
Seasoning
400g mixed...
I wanted some heavy whipping cream and mistakenly grabbed a heavy whipping cream alternative.
I'll be giving this a try by making a non-dairy ice-cream with it.
Lemon Roll

This creamy, sweet, vegan, dairy-free and gluten free chocolate pudding is delicious and easy to make! My husband was amazed that it did not have real milk or eggs in it, he loved it!
Notes:
This recipe makes a deep, dark chocolate flavor. If you prefer a lighter, more milk-chocolatey...
Almond Butter Mousse:
Well, I already had some homemade almond milk and homemade almond butter on hand, so I decided to turn it into a dessert: almond butter mousse. I looked online for recipes and couldn't find anything quite like this, so I just gave it a shot and it worked!
This light...
Almond Milk Recipe
Yields approximately 2 cups
Making your own nutritious almond milk is easy to do and takes only a few ingredients. Typical almond milk from the grocery store has additives to make it thicker and creamier, as well as preservatives to make it last longer. You can drink almond...
Having made my original version several times now, I have revised the recipe and method to suit our tastes (less salt) and equipment(dehydrator and a temperamental even thats really good at burning the bottom of everything).
You will still need to plan ahead with this vegan cheese. You need to...
I have to say that I had my reservations about this cheese. I've made things in the past that used tofu and they were miserable failures. if you've ever just been served a slab of tofu, warmed slightly with no attempt made to do anything with it, not even drain it properly then you'll...
This is a fairly straightforward recipe to make. I'd not tried roasting okra before and I think it does add a little nuttiness to their taste. Keeping them whole and not trimming off too much stalk prevents sliminess. I found the okra cooked in just over 10 minutes. Any more and they would have...
I have to say that this is the first cheese that I've made using almond nuts and I rather like it.
The cheese is meant to be similar to a feta and in some ways I guess it is but I personally won't user the word feta to describe it. It does, however, have a really nice clean taste to it. It...
I came across this recipe years ago, and printed it out, but there isn't a reference to tell me where I got it from, so I can only guess, however, I think it most likely that I got it from here (Cultured European Style Vegan Butter).
Over the years though, the totally pure white of this butter...
