Some of the recipes may have dairy and/or wheat. I usually substitute or leave out the offending items. Some of my favorite substitutions: Milk - Unsweetened Coconut Milk; Cheese - Daiya shredded cheddar; Butter - Olive oil (Earth Balance buttery spread has corn derivatives); Cous cous - Quinoa or millet; Cornstarch - arrowroot starch; Roux for sauce - Brown Rice Flour, diced/grated onion and olive oil
