Some of our recipes are noted as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian (may contain dairy and/or eggs), vegan (dairy-free and eggless), etc. Most recipes (even if not noted with a special diet category) can be adapted to your dietary needs by substituting ingredients. For example, many pasta recipes can be made gluten-free by using one of the many types of gluten-free pastas available. Also, you may be able to make a dairy-free version of a dish calling for butter by substituting a soy margarine spread. Listed below are some of the most common special diet substitutions. Experiment and make every recipe perfect for you. While many ingredients in our recipes are easily identified, always read the labels of prepared and packaged recipe ingredients to ensure they meet your special diet needs. Various manufacturers of similar products often use different ingredients; check with the manufacturer if you are unsure. |
