hello from Cooking-Good-Looking

Welcome cooking-good-looking. I see you already have the answer to your Q re: nuttelex, just thought I'd say I too use it in baking succesfully (and also have a dairy intolerant 2 yr old!!) also have subed soy milk or rice milk with great results too.

Re Nuttelex, I use it all the time to substitute for butter- I buy the original and don't use the kosher or light versions at all. The latter two are supposed to be awful for baking but OK for everything else. I just substitute on a 1:1 basis. I definitely use the forum much more than the recipe community and you'll find that eventually it feels like a big family that you adopt! Everyone is great on this forum and if you ask any question, TM or non TM related, you'll invariably get a prompt answer! That's what I love about this forum- the knowledge base and collective wisdom of everyone on this forum is a phenomenal resource.

Thanks so much! Great to know I can use nuttelex and not compromise a recipe!

loving the forum and all of the personal welcomes.

Thanks so much! I have not ever tried rice milk- is there times that you choose rice milk over soy milk in cooking for any particular reason? e.g more in sweet or savoury? better texture with either etc? ive also been seeing that coconut milk gets a lot of use too?

Thanks!

Hello again,
nope, I just use what ever I have on hand at the time, as far as I've noticed there doesn't seem to be a tasteable difference between soy and rice milk, tho I do sometimes find rice milk a bit more watery, but easily adapted by using a touch less if it is going to matter - doesn't usually seem to matter tho!!
Good luck.
