try post punk kitchen

I also found some great recipes from the vegan site the Post punk kitchen. http://www.theppk.com/ They do use soy in many of their recipes, but I used rice milk with ener G egg replacer with nice results with some things. She has good advice about egg replacer, too.

About the soy, my daughter is allergic to soy, but she can have soy oil. If you have not already, you might want to ask your allergist if the oil is ok. It makes life much less complicated. I spectrum naturals has a 100 % palm oil shortening. My son is the one allergic to eggs and milk- makes for a fun meal.
