Almond milk is an exciting, versatile alternative to dairy- and soy-based milks. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or allergic to soy, you can still enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of milk. Almond milk has a light flavor with just a hint of almonds and boasts a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals than either dairy or soy milk-- without any cholesterol or saturated fat.

Chef and cookbook author Alan Roettinger demonstrates how almond milk lightens, enhances, and enriches all kinds of food and presents a broad array of wholesome, satisfying, dairy- and gluten-free recipes. Use any commercial almond milk in these dishes or try your hand at making fresh, easy almond milk and thick almond creams at home so you can control their richness and monitor the ingredients. More than 100 recipes for delicious smoothies, hot and cold soups, creamy sauces and dressings, satisfying pasta dishes, comfort-food favorites, sweet treats, and frozen desserts showcase the versatility of this nutritious, flavorful beverage.

Alan Roettinger is a writer, food designer, blogger, and public speaker. As a private chef for over thirty years, he’s served a broad spectrum of high-profile clients, from entertainers to presidents, and honed his expertise in bringing health and pleasure together in food. He’s also the author of Omega-3 Cuisine, Speed Vegan, Extraordinary Vegan, and Paleo Vegan (coauthored with Ellen Jaffe Jones).
