I am an ear, nose, and throat surgeon in Indonesia. May I know the first volume of Head and Neck Surgery Book by Byron J. Bailey ? I want to know about the prizes of it. How do I get the first volume ? I have just had the second volume. Thank you.

As a mother of a child who has recently been diagnosed with milk allergy, I found this book disappointing. Prior to it's purchase, I had spent a considerable amount of time in health food stores becoming familiar with all the substitutes there are for milk - such as rice "milk", soy products, etc.. None of these are used in this book. As the author admits, this book focuses on what a person can eat. Most of these receipes are food dishes that just about anyone who has cooked before would already know can be prepared without milk. For those not so obvious, the author only substitutes water in the place of milk. I could have just as easily look up these receipes in a regular cook book. What I really needed was something that helps me create dishes for my daughter that she loves, but that she can no longer have due to her allergy. What I found most helpful was the section on cheese and have since started giving my daughter goat cheese products to see if she can tolerate this.

To anyone in search of good milk-free receipes, I suggest writing to or going to the web site of those companies who make products to replace dairy, such as soy, rice, almond, and other multi-gran products. They have really saved me.

My son was diagnosed with severe milk allergies when he was three months old. Before that time everything I cooked was topped with cheese. Since then I've searched frantically for a recipe book for people who don't mind eating meat, can't afford the prices at our health food store, and like normal cooking. This book is a godsend. I use it on a daily basis for everything. Guests at our house don't even know I cook milk-free. The recipes are great, the cooking instructions are simple, and my kids (ages 7, 4, and 2) like the food, something that doesn't happen with most vegan cooking. I only wish the author would come out with a new edition; I'd buy it in a moment, and mail it to her to autograph!!!

The Milk Free Kitchen saved my life! At the very least it saved me from a diet of deprivation, if not total boredom! Over the past 7 or 8 years I became increasingly more lactose intolerant, until finally my only option was a dairy-free diet. The change over was hard for me, as I loved milk and baked goods, and pizza, etc. Eating became rather dull until I discovered this book. Beth Kidder has it all...recipes for pancakes, chocolate cake, cookies of all variety, even doughnuts! as well as main courses that include pizza, fried chicken, chicken under a biscuit, stuffing, meatballs, etc. etc. Not only does she have great recipes that taste every bit as good as those with milk, she also gives wonderful tips on cooking in general. Beth gives pointers too on how to eat a milk free meal in a resturant and what ingredients to avoid in premade foods. The only down side to this book is that she never wrote, to my knowledge, a sequel with even more recipes.
