Dairy free

The Dairy-Free Recipe category on Just Maika Cooking is all about embracing bold, creamy flavors without the need for dairy. Whether you're lactose intolerant, vegan, or simply exploring dairy-free options, these recipes offer richness and satisfaction using creative alternatives that don’t compromise on taste.

Take the Best Fragrant Creamy Potato Coconut Curry Fish Soup, for example—it delivers a creamy texture thanks to coconut milk, combined with the warmth of curry and tender pieces of fish for a rich, dairy-free comfort meal. If you're in the mood for something hearty and full of Cajun flavors, the Pan-Seared Cajun Spiced Tilapia on White Bean Stew is a great option, bringing together well-seasoned fish and a bed of flavorful white beans that offer a satisfying, filling dish.

For a fresh, plant-based meal, the Spicy Falafel Pita Sandwich with Lemon Tahini Dressing is a must-try. It combines crispy falafel with a zesty, creamy tahini dressing that’s totally dairy-free but still delivers on richness. Each of these recipes is designed to be quick and easy without sacrificing the depth of flavor, proving that dairy-free doesn’t mean flavorless.
