Alexandra:

Since I hit 30 my stomach has become increasingly intolerant to eating dairy products. While some affect me more than others (cows-milk based cheeses, cream sauces, ice cream) and though I do occassionally indulge in a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt or a slice of pizza, I'm starting to feel a bit deprived. Since Vegetarian Times also covers Vegan interests, and thus some of your readers do not eat dairy at all, even though I do eat meat it sounds like I have a lot in common with these people.

Can you tell me about:

1) Premium non-dairy frozen desserts that are out on the market today?

2) Soymilk products that actually taste GOOD (coffee creamers, soy and tofu cheeses)

3) Mail order sources and catalogs for these things?

Jason: sorry for a delayed response. Your questions:
Can you tell me about:
1) Premium non-dairy frozen desserts that are out on the market today? Have you tried Double Rainbow Soy Cream; Soy Delicious; and Sweet Nothings?
2) Soymilk products that actually taste GOOD (coffee creamers, soy and tofu cheeses)
Silk Creamers and from the West Coast, Follow Your Heart cheeses...
3) Mail order sources and catalogs for these things? Spoke with a veggie source who says that the industry has encountered problems and many companies haven't gone the mail-order route with perisables because of shipping costs of such highly perishable products. Hope that helps...
