Well, I don't use egg substitutes, so I'm not the best person to ask. But I do know that some people think highly enough of the EggBeaters brand to put it on restaurant menus. So definitely worth a try. As for recipes, there's FABULOUS & FLOURLESS. You make things with ground nuts! And you can use a coffee grinder for this, you don't have to buy a real nut grinder. I think Almonds grind best in a coffee grinder. It's better to grind your own nuts--they can go rancid quickly after grinding.
There are 3-4 pie crust recipes in the book, and they're good. One uses a little bit of corn starch, I think--I was off corn, too, so didn't try it. There are pecan and 3-nut recipes. The only thing about that cookbook is, remember that no one told the author that barley has gluten in it. She uses a little barley flour to dust cake pans, etc.
I bought a little brown rice flour, and kept it in my freezer--used only for dusting pans.
The author does the recipes dairy-free, or if you can have dairy, you can use butter instead. There is also Living Without Magazine, which is for people with allergies and food sensitivities. The thing so great about this magazine is the ads! Because there are a bunch of ready-made things for her to try, when she doesn't have time to cook.
One thing she may not have warned you about. The legal limit in the USA is something like "If there's less than 3% of something in a product, it doesn't have to be listed on the label." AND--if one of the ingredients is, say, chicken broth, and that company didn't MAKE the broth from scratch--they bought it wholesale from someone else? They don't have to tell you what's in the chicken broth, because they didn't "make" it and can't vouch for it!
I was off corn, and guess what--powdered sugar has corn starch in it! They hide stuff in EVERYTHING...
