This link is flat out amazing!!! Generally, I have my substitutions spread out between recipe books, note pads and calling friends at odd hours of the day asking what subs in for what when I am avoiding dairy or egg in a recipe! I am so impressed with the clarity and quality of knowledge of THE ULTIMATE VEGAN BAKING CHEAT SHEET. As you may know, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I never realized they had such a comprehensive website that included fabulous recipes. You need to click on the PETA Living tab to find Vegan (egg, dairy and animal product free )recipes.
Substitutions for egg are divided up into categories
- leavening or binding,
- egg replacers for custards and quiches
Dairy substitutions are divided up into categories of
- buttermilk replacement
- cow’s milk replacer options
- margarine replacement options
- sweetened condensed milk replacer
My aha moment has arrived. I know feel confident of when I should use flax seed as a replacer versus baking powder and oil replacer thanks to PETA!
Who knew that animal activists would become my egg and dairy free kings and queens!!???
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
