Since the 1980s, David Mintz, founder of Tofutti Brands Inc., has called himself the "man who licked ice cream." Now he wants to be the man who created a dairy-free product that rivals ricotta cheese.
Tofutti Brands, based in Cranford, sold close to $18 million worth of dairy-free ice cream products, sour and cream cheese substitutes, blintzes and pizzas last year. The company was born after Mintz, a former restaurateur and caterer in the Catskills and New York City, began experimenting with tofu to create dairy-free substitutes for cheese and ice cream for his kosher customers who followed the Jewish dietary prohibition against eating meat with dairy. Tofutti has since expanded to serve the lactose-free market, as well as kosher customers.

This past holiday season, my husband volunteered me to make potato soup for his office potluck. That would normally be an easy task, except that he promised to honor a few requests from his co- workers.
He promised one co-worker that the soup would not have any onion, and he promised another that it would be lactose-free. These changes presented conundrums: first, how could I make a creamy soup without any dairy? And what kind of potato soup doesn't have any onions?

Market Limone is one of the most recent additions to Nampa's Belle District, the downtown revitalization project that's focused on providing Nampa's geographically captive audience with a centrally located shopping and entertainment core. Owned and operated by Nampa native Laurel MacKinnon, the market is an upscale retailer, what MacKinnon calls "a specialty local natural food market." Local, organic, gluten free, sugar free, lactose free, vegan ... Market Limone carries products for all of it. In fact, [Andrae Bopp] said it best when he described the store as "right along Trader Joe's or Dean & DeLuca lines." MacKinnon says Market Limone is unique compared to anything she's seen for its "one-stop shopping" feel. Not only does Market Limone carry just about anything Nampa foodies wo...

My school is in a really unique situation because we have a cafeteria but very few students use it because there's a shopping mall with a variety of restaurants across the street. But I've looked at the cafeteria menu recently and I'm not aware that they really have any alternatives when it comes to milk. I don't think they sell soy milk or any non-dairy forms of milk in the cafeteria. I think they offer a veggie burger on a daily basis, but I'd say there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of being vegetarian and veganfriendly.
Most things that have dairy can be replaced with all the taste you have with dairy and all of the nutrition. Cow's milk can be replaced with other forms of milk, whether it's soy milk, rice milk, or whatever, so it hasn't been as limiting as I would have t...

On a recent weeknight on Manayunk's Main Street, the only restaurant with a waiting list is Chabaa Thai Bistro. There's a chill in the air, but the BYOB's patrons fill sidewalk tables. It's getting late--after 9--but couples still mill about, waiting their turn, brown-bagged bottles in hand.
Tom kah is the milder cousin of tom yum. It's made with chicken broth, lime juice and salty nam pla (fermented fish sauce) melted into smooth white coconut milk. Morsels of tofu, chicken or shrimp--plus bell pepper bits, gingery galangal and button mushrooms--are all present, but the nectarlike milk itself is the soup's best asset. Rich, sweet, lactose-free and habit-forming, it is, at first serving, carefully ladled from its shared bowl--but inevitably ends up hosting subsequent visits from greedy ...

One of my favorite cheeses-served best straight from the fridge-is Le Chèvre Noir ($16.99 a pound at Whole Foods), an artisanal, cheddar-style goat cheese made in Quebec. It's a sturdy, firm, nutty cheese with hints of caramel and protein crystals that add texture. Sometimes dinner can be as simple as a few slices of bread with excellent high-quality butter. Fork: Etc. has both-offering ridiculously good handmade bread and two delectable varieties of imported butter, La Baratte des Gourmet ($7.50; a French churn butter infused with crystal sea salt) and Appennino Butter ($7.50; Italian and made with cream skimmed from milk that will go on to become Parmigiano Reggiano).
Finally there's dessert. It's rather easy to say goodbye to ice cream when walking around afterward makes you feel lik...
