Dairy-free recipes for the whole family

Dairy-free doesn’t have to mean dry. These recipes get creaminess from blended vegetables, coconut milk (or a swap if someone avoids coconut), olive oil and stock. For a milk allergy, check labels for whey, casein and milk powder.

What Gluten watches for: butter, cream, cheese, whey, casein and milk powder in packaged foods.

Dairy-free cooking questions

Is lactose-free milk dairy-free?

No. Lactose-free milk is still dairy. It is fine for lactose intolerance but not for a milk allergy.

What can I use instead of butter?

Olive oil or a dairy-free spread for cooking. Gluten picks the swap that fits everyone else’s restrictions too.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
