Mist and Claire:

Because this has turned into a discussion thread, I've made another recipe thread: http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthr...8744#post18744

Would you mind copying your recipes over there so that we can continue using this place for discussion but not at the loss of your recipes? ;)

I've re-done some of the acronyms. Can everyone check them out?

I'm not comfortable using cf for corn free because it's already understood by the world as meaning casein free.

I recopied mine...but wanted to mention that copying/pasting the list of acronyms didn't seem to make much sense, since that would include the definitions as well. If we're doing the definitions written out, we don't need acronyms.

Sorry! Don't mean to be TOO picky!

ETA: what was the final decision on using altered pre-published recipes? The scd banana pancakes are great...but my recipe is still very similar to the one in BTVC.

Good point.

I will block off the acronyms only.

I'm sorry for cluttering up the other thread! Moving my discussion from there to here, but Kim has already taken care of it! Thanks!

"Kim, the recognized symbol for vegan is V in a circle. I wonder if mf: meat free would be more appropriate for vegetarian? BTW, vegetarians don't eat fish - nothing with a face! ;)

Technically I shouldn't say I eat a vegan diet because I do consume honey. Honey is an animal product, and therefore isn't vegan. So a recipe with honey should not be labeled vegan (I just went back and changed one of mine to reflect this - you'd think I'd know better!:p ).

As for me, I don't know all the rules of SCD, so I will just leave that designation off any recipes I post!"

Since this is now a discussion thread...

The only food I can think of that is casein free but not dairy free is ghee. Are there any others?

Claire

Maybe we should add an "EA" for "Easily Adaptable"? Obviously, cheesecake does not adapt well to dairy free...but if the only dairy ingredient is a TBS of ghee or buttering the griddle, it would adapt well to df substitutions.

I'm reminded of my biggest cookbook pet peeve...allergy free recipes that call for "simple" substitutions. Like soy cream cheese, soy sour cream and soy milk...(Even better when they're coupled with "your favorite gf flour mix" and "egg replacer") I can understand using soy milk. But, when the whole recipe is "fake" ingredients, its not a "real" recipe. I prefer to make my own subs :)

I feel like I kind of derailed this thread, but it didn't have "Recipe" in the title, and it seemed like it could be a discussion thread. Anyway, I'm glad it's officially discussion and I don't feel as guilty.
When you read labels on prepackaged food, I've seen whey and lactose, but I have no idea if you can buy those separately to cook with. (Obviously, I'm not looking either.) So, I think "technically" there is more than ghee that is casein-free but not dairy-free. But "practically," as far as baking goes, probably not.

And now, having written that, I keep thinking I read that some soy yogurt and whatnot contain dairy. I've never bothered looking into "fake" cheeses and yogurts, so I don't know. What kind of dairy do they use, if they use dairy? Is it casein? Or whey? Or ??? In that case, I can see a recipe calling for a yogurt substitute and meeting casein-free, but not dairy-free. But, as I said, I don't know.

I can't think of any. And I think ghee is probably very easy to sub as you can use most margarines in place of it.

Editing to add that I have heard that there is vegetable ghee, too, so there is dairy free ghee out there.

I tested off the chart high for reactions to both casein and whey on the York delayed food allergy test. I assumed that they could be found separately in different foods. Otherwise why would they test for both? I have seen a bread recipe that calls for the addition of sweet dairy whey. I don't know if that would be whey in a pure form (if there is such a thing) or if casein would also be present. At any rate I am not adding it in my bread.

I have a question--can one post recipes that are not *everything* free to the other thread or just one's that are. I have one that is grain free, GF/CF, SCD friendly, corn free (if you make your own powdered sugar or buy the right kind), and I can't even think what else but is *not* nut free or egg free.
