If you think steering clear of dairy means giving up your favorite dishes, you’re in for a delicious surprise.

In Lévana Cooks Dairy-Free!, respected restaurateur, chef, and cooking instructor Lévana Kirschenbaum offers a collection of creative and luscious recipes, made with natural dairy alternatives such as soy, rice, oat, almond, and coconut milks—all significantly leaner than their fatty dairy counterparts.

Addressing the needs of the lactose-intolerant community, as well as everyone who keeps kosher, Lévana includes a wide range of both vegetarian and meat fare, from avocado cucumber soup and blueberry scones, to lasagna and ice cream. Regular cheesecake doesn’t hold a candle to hers!
