Note: None of these recipes are mine. I have found them on the net and I haven't tried them. I was quickly gathering some recipes for a mom that was desperate in trying to find something to feed her family. She has a child with Gluten, Soy and Dairy allergies.
I am sorry that I don't have the names of the orginal posters or their web sites notes, I do not mean any copyright infringements.......... I was just trying to pull together some recipes to help someone out and thought that others might need an emergency jump start on how to start their new way of life.

P.S. Maybe when I have more time, I can put them in categories.
Converting Butter to oil
1 tsp........3/4 tsp 1 Tbs...... 2 1/4 tsp 2 Tbs..... 1 1/2 Tbs 1/4 cup........3 Tbs 1/3 cup......... 1/4 cup 1/2 cup......... 1/4 cup + 2 Tbs 2/3 cup......... 1/2 cup 3/4 cup......... 1/2 cup + 1 Tbs 1 cup............ 3/4 cup
Coconut milk[ Substitute coconut milk for the milk or cream in your recipe. Coconut milk is wonderful in soups, creamy sauces, stir-fries, puddings, ice creams and smoothies. It is good for baking as well.
Soy-Free Margarine 1 cup soy-free shortening (Spectrum has a brand that (at this time) is 100% palm oil) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon safe artificial butter flavoring (add an extra 1/8 teaspoon for a stronger taste) (Read ingredients carefully and find a brand that is suitable for you/your child. Some contain real butter--so make sure you know what the ingredient names mean!) 3 drops yellow food coloring (optional) 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
Melt shortening in the microwave until it is just liquefied. This will take about one minute. Pour the melted shortening into the blender, and add all ingredients. Whirl ingredients in the blender for a while, thoroughly blending together. The mixture will take on a frothy appearance. Pour liquefied margarine into a margarine tub or other small container, and place it in the fridge. It will take a while for it to harden.
Substitute for Butter/Margarine Substitute the butter/margarine with GF mayonnaise. Mayo works well in corn bread and quick breads, cakes and brownies.
Substitute for Sour cream 3/4 cup sour milk (goat milk soured with 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice) 1/3 cup butter or margarine (from the above recipes)
No-Fat Whipped Topping 1 Tbs unflavored gelatin 2 Tbs boiling water 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder (rice) 1/3 cup ice water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. In a thoroughly chilled small bowl, beat milk and ice water. Beat in lemon juice. Add sugar and vanilla and beat to soft peaks. Add gelatin mixture and beat. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups. Calories: 12 per tablespoon
Condensed Milk Substitute 1 cup Dari Free powder or equivalent in acceptable substitute 3 Tbsp margarine, melted 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup boiling water
1. In a blender, carefully combine ingredients and process until smooth and creamy. 2. Use caution so that hot liquid does not spatter and burn you. 3. Use to replace standard condensed milk in recipes.
Buttermilk Substitute 4 Tbs Dari Free powder or powdered milk sub (such a goat milk powder) 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 1/2 tsps of oil (olive oil) 1 tsp arrowroot starch (tapioca could substitute for this ingredient) 1 cup water
1. In a medium saucepan, combine ingredients. 2. Stirring constantly, heat in a saucepan until it reaches the consistency of buttermilk. Yeild: 1 cup
NUT MILK 1 cup of blanched nuts (nuts without their skins) 2 cups of water
sIt's so easy it's almost laughable. Blend in the blender to a very fine consistency, similar to a cheese sauce consistency but even though I watered it down some more, the nut residue is not nice in a drink. The taste is great and rich and it's excellent, like this, over cereal.
However, it's not nice to drink with all that 'sediment' in it. The original recipe called for a coffee filter to be used to drain the nut mixture through. You might find that a pillow case dedicated to being used as a filter would work better. You might try using cheese cloth to drain the nuts from the liquid. If you make a large batch, you might find that a collander over a large bowl with the pillow case draped over the collander will allow you to walk away from the draining process thereby freeing up your time.
*NOTE: If a recipe calls for milk, you can substitute an equal amount of water and then substitute in some nuts for part of the flour portion of the recipe. Put the nuts and water into either the blender or food processor, blend it up well and dump the whole lot into the recipe.
***For example, in your buckwheat waffle recipe, use 1 cup of nuts and 2 cups of water. Place *everything* from the pancake recipe into the food processor except the egg whites which will be whipped up and process it all together. Fold in the egg whites and bake the waffles.
Dairy Free Cocoa 4 cups nutmilk 6 (or to taste) tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon cocoa 1 tablespoon carob 4 shakes sea salt a sprinkling of cinnamon
In a saucepot, whisk all ingredients together and warm over low heat.
ALMOND, FILBERT OR MACADAMIA YOGURT by Marjan
NUT YOGURT RECIPE 1 1/3 cup whole, RAW blanched almonds or RAW blanched hazelnuts (filberts) or RAW macadamias 2 TBL clear honey Water Yoghurt starter (ProGurt by GI ProHealth)
Step-by-step instructions for making nut yogurt:
1. Put all things you need on a tea towel on the kitchen table: blender, a fine sieve, some tea towels, the nuts, honey, two tablespoons, whisk, water, yoghurt maker + yoghurt container. Get the probiotics out of the freezer only when you need them. 2. Put nuts into blender 3. Add enough cold water to get a total of 4 to 5 cups / =1 litre 4. Add 2 tablespoons of honey 5. Blend for 10 minutes (use a stopwatch) 6. Pour about 1 cup of the nut milk through the fine sieve (The residue is very fine, moist flour. I always put it in a ziplok, flatten it and freeze it. I use it later on for pancakes, cookies, icecream, etc. You can squeeze out more liquid if you use a teacloth and twist it firmly.)
NOW take your probiotics out of the freezer
7. Add 1/8 tsp of ProGurt yoghurt starter to the milk, per 1 quart of yogurt. 8. Stir well with whisk, add the rest of the milk, with back of spoon press out all liquids 9. Stir well and place container in yoghurt maker 10. Ferment for 8 hours. 11. Place in the fridge overnight or at least for 5 hours (overnight is better) 12. Get a bowl, put the sieve on the bowl, put a cheesecloth in the sieve 13. Pour the yoghurt in the cheesecloth so that it can drip 14. Drip for about an hour, or longer if you'd like the yoghurt thicker 15. By pressing the dripped yoghurt further, you can make something that resembles cheese
The fermentation process takes place at about 105 Fahrenheit.
As you see, I do NOT cook or heat the milk. After blending, the milk should be lukewarm, not warmer than 105F. If you heat more, the milk will separate and the fermentation will not take place.
Try to find RAW nuts that have been through minimal processing. Deep frying them may be very tasty, but it will negatively affect the outcome and it is also a bit unhealthy.
The sieve is such, that if you pour orange juice through it, there's no pulp in your glass.
This nut yoghurt is a nice and safe alternative when you cannot tolerate goat's or cow's yoghurt (yet). Go for it!

Bake the cake in preheated oven. Loosely cover with foil half way through baking, if necessary, to keep the top from over-browning. The cake should be done in about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack before loosening the cake gently from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Release the clasp and remove the pan ring. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap slices in foil, bag, and freeze for handy coffee treats! Servings: 8 - 9.
Ice Cream Dairy Free BrainTalk The recipes below for non-dairy ice cream can be made with other non-dairy alternative milks if you cannot or do not want to use coconut milk.
Ice creams made using rice milk and nut milks tend to be thinner, and more icy - less creamy - so an added thickener will improve texture.
Pureed banana, mashed or pureed fruits help. Perhaps a couple of spoons of tapioca whipped into the liquid.
You could experiment with adding a spoon or two of peanut butter or almond butter to help thicken the mixture.
Strawberry Ice Cream BrainTalk 1 lb./pint strawberries, frozen or fresh (washed, stemmed, frozen) 1/2 cup extra fine sugar (or more, to taste) 1 15-oz. can coconut milk, chilled, shaken 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Blend until smooth and freeze in ice cream maker until firm. Serves 4. *NOTE: I cut back on the sugar, though, in these recipes - so you may want to add a bit more (can be up to 1 cup total) or add in some stevia for that extra sweetness.
Chocolate Ice Cream[/] BrainTalk 2 cups chocolate Almond Breeze (or other GF/CF chocolate drink) 3/4 cup extra fine sugar 1/2-2/3 cup non-dairy cream or coconut cream 2 tablespoons good cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon decaf instant coffee 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1-2 oz. Egg Beaters (optional) 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
Blend all of the ingredients in a blender till smooth and frothy, and chill according to manufacturer's instructions. Serves 4. *NOTE: I cut back on the sugar, though, in these recipes - so you may want to add a bit more (can be up to 1 cup total) or add in some stevia for that extra sweetness.

Chocolate chips make a nice addition to the banana and the chocolate recipes. Enjoy! Recipes by Karri Ann 1999. *NOTE: I cut back on the sugar, though, in these recipes - so you may want to add a bit more (can be up to 1 cup total) or add in some stevia for that extra sweetness.
Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding 4 gluten-free bread slices, lightly toasted just to dry them out 1 cup diced pineapple, drained, pressed dry with a paper towel 2 14-oz. cans coconut milk, stirred 3 eggs, or Egg Beaters substitute 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey 1/8 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Lightly oil a 2-quart glass baking dish. Tear the GF bread slices and press them into the bottom and sides of the dish. Scatter the pineapple bits on the torn GF bread.
In a mixing bowl or blender, combine the coconut milk, eggs, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and nutmeg, and beat for two minutes until light and frothy. Pour the custard mixture over the pineapple and GF bread, and press with a flat spoon to allow the liquid to thoroughly soak the bread. Cover, set aside and let it stand for one hour. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bake in the center of a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Check the pudding to see if it is browning too much, if it is, loosely cover with foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer, until the pudding is set. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve slightly warm, or chilled, as you prefer. Servings: 6-7 Recipe by Karri Ann. 2001.
Coconut Rice Pudding 1 15-oz. can coconut milk, stirred 2 cups cooked rice: short-grained arborio rice is excellent for pudding 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey 2 tsp vanilla extract sprinkle of nutmeg
Heat the coconut milk in a heavy saucepot over medium heat, until it begins to simmer. Add the sweetener and whisk until dissolved. Add the cooked rice and heat through. Simmer until it thickens but don't allow it to become too dry - the rice will continue to absorb the milk as it cools. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Divide the pudding into serving cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve warm or chilled. Servings: 6 Recipe adapted by Karri Ann 2005.
1. Note: The rice flour you usually find is rather gritty (Arrowhead Mills, etc), so it is best to get your rice flour at an Asian market, where you can find powdered rice flour--it has the same feel as cornstarch. 2. In a small bowl, mix flours and potato starch with a fork until mixed together. 3. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt margarine with oil over medium heat. 4. Whisk flour mixture into oil/butter mixture until it forms a paste. 5. Whisk in chicken stock and rice milk. 6. Add spices and Worcestershire. 7. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until thick. 8. If too thick, add more rice milk. 9. If too thin, mix 1 tsp of (the garbanzo flour thickens better, but has a stronger taste) more flour with 1 T of cold water, and then stir into the sauce. 10. Repeat if necessary.
