Answer 2

Sounds like you've already got a solution for the lactose problem although my preference is for Soy or Rice milks. Here's my standard recipe for gluten free all-purpose flour:

4 1/4 C.rice flour
1 C. potato starch
1 C. tapioca starch
1/2 C. cornstarch
1/4 C. xanthan gum

Just mix these ingredients and then you can treat it just like regular all-purpose flour!
All these ingredients will be found at your local real health food store (not GNC) and many standard grocers now carry them in their health sections or regular baking goods aisles. The ingredient most folks freak about is xanthan gum. Don't worry, it's been eaten as long as humans have been around. It's produced by a bacteria that normally lives on leaves and produces the gum as a by-product; kind of like yeast produces gas bubbles and alcohol. Don't get concerned with the price either. A bag normally runs $10-13 and makes 4-5 batches of flour. It works out to be much cheaper to make your own than buying the pre-made mixes near where you find the xanthan at (besides, the mixes never use enough xanthan!).
Hope this information helps!!!

Answer 3

All of the answers are really good. Always welcome yourself to finding out what vegans eat for sure. Only you can find out whether her lactose allergy extends to goat or sheep's milks. It's unusual, but not impossible. Same thing with spelt flour. Also, the answer with xanthan gum is great, in that there are lots of naturally occuring products that enhance or alter textures if the ingredients you need for flavor are limited by not using wheat flour or dairy, or eggs for texture. It takes a little homework, but there are lots of neat things that aren't hard to use. Xanthan and guar gums, tapioca maltodextrin, glucose. I don't know how old your daughter is, or how much you are into playing in the kitchen, but there are lots of cool things you can do with lactose and gluten intolerance as a base. If you're curious, look at some techniques of molecular gastronomy.

Answer 4

I'm not too sure if soya milk has gluten in it, but if there are any Chinese supermarkets nearby, the soya milk is genuine soya milk that is drunk in east Asia and just contains soya and sugar. Don't mix it with honey products tho, it produces a poison! Anyway, theres plenty of different types of foods and cakes or I suggest you use the cartons of soya milk to make cakes and biscuits, your daughter may like to try them and maybe if you get some ideas of what you like you can find out the recipes online or from some of the cook books available at the supermarket. Tofu is made from soya too, it is used as an alternative to meat by vegetarians. Like Quorn!
I'm lactose intolerant (as with a high percentage of Asians) so I have to watch what I eat and being able to have these soya products is a godsend!
I'm sorry I don't have any websites to hand!
Good luck!

Answer 5

There is a great recipe book called "Cooking without" by Barbara Cousins. There are two versions, one for Veggies and one for meat eaters. You can buy them in Waterstones.
