A dairy-free diet doesn't mean bland food. Most everyday dishes can be made dairy-free with a single swap: replace cream with oat or coconut cream and butter with plant-based spread or oil.

Popular dairy-free dishes include dairy-free chicken sauce, gluten- and dairy-free pasta salad, dairy-free coleslaw and dairy-free macaroni salad. Oat cream holds up well to heating, while coconut cream adds flavour and suits curries and soups in particular.

In a dairy-free chicken sauce, oat cream and vegetable stock provide richness, while mustard or tomato purée deepens the flavour. For coleslaw, use dairy-free mayonnaise or oat-based yoghurt seasoned with lemon and honey.

Remember that dairy-free and lactose-free are not interchangeable: a lactose-free product still contains milk protein, so it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy. Always check the labels, especially on ready-made sauces, bread and chocolate.

Ruokaboksi's weekly menu includes dairy-free recipes for the whole family, and the ingredients are delivered pre-measured to your door. That way, a special diet doesn't mean an extra trip to the shop or cooking two different meals on the same evening.
