Hi, I found your blog through Veronique. What a lovely site.
I would love to learn more about cooking with soy or rice milk
Hi Damaris,
You can substitute rice or soy milk for almond milk. The rice and soy milk are NOT a good substitute for coconut milk. I am not a proponent of too much soy because of the research I have read. Also, soy increase estrogen so it is not especially good for men. I only use it in a few recipes in my cookbook because I could not find anything else that would work as a substitute. I hope this helps you. Be Well, Lauren
Hi Lauren,
I found semi-solid coconut oil sold at Whole Foods as alternative of butter. Have you ever tried it ? Does it work as substitute of butter? Is it worth to pay $15?
Thanks for your comment.

Naomi, yes coconut oil is very healthy and can be used as a substitute for butter/shortening. However, it does have a coconut flavor. The refined has a strong coconut flavor and the unrefined is milder. My friend/assistant Catherine uses it to saute shrimp which is delicious. Give it a try and see how you like it and let us all know. Be Well, Lauren
