Welcome to Litsy!

The Alternative Kitchen is an essential resource for the food intolerant, vegetarians, vegans and anyone learning how to cook without dairy, soy, gluten, egg or meat, as well as those wanting to learn how to include more fresh and whole foods in their diet. Based on the web based cooking show Alternative Chef Kitchen, this book includes all the recipes from the pilot season of the show and more than 30 new ones. Through the unique approach of presenting four different ways to make a common recipe, this is an essential resource for beginner cooks wanting to learn how to make ingredient substitutions that suit their dietary needs and delivering the skills needed to recreate some of those favourite tastes and textures like "creamy" with foods that are still on the "can eat" list. This book will also bring new inspiration for those who have been "cooking without" for a while and who are getting bored. With recipes like gluten, dairy, soy and meat free lasagne, mayonnaise without egg or oil, hoummus without chickpeas, cordial without refined sugar and red pasta sauce without tomato or capsicum, bonus video resources from the episodes of the show demonstrating the recipes and certain techniques, and resource lists including handy alternatives this recipe book can teach you the skills you need to become a confident and more adventurous "alternative chef" in your own kitchen.
