October 10, 2018

Cutting out meat and dairy has become an increasing popular lifestyle choice for many, and that means chefs and bakers alike tapping into their alternative resources to get their creative juices flowing and to create some deliciously different culinary and confectionery masterpieces.

Here are some of their top options, alternatives and suggestions.

1. Cakes and other confections that are made with almond, coconut, or rice milk.

2. Pastries made with wheat or almond flour and applesauce

3. Alternative flavors including carrot, Irish oatmeal, lemon coconut and cranberry-orange ginger just to name a few.

4. Use natural accents such as fresh rosemary and edible flowers for garnish

5. Bakers are making use of natural fruit preserves in lieu of chemical flavoring agents to create farm to table tiers that please

6. Think outside the box and opt for elegant alternatives such as: coconut-cashew rice pudding, chocolate pumpkin truffle pops, raspberry-peach fruit leathers (great if you are including kids), Dairy free ice cream; set strawberries with coconut cream, spiced whiskey peaches, no-bake raspberry crumble bowls, no-bake vegan strawberry shortcake pies, cocoa silken pudding (made with tofu) just to name a few.
