I thought it might be useful to list some of the products & brands that we use on a regular basis in our cooking. We don't have the benefit of a good health store near us, so most of our shopping is done at the supermarket, unless we have time to go into town. Thankfully most of the mainstream stores have got a lot better at catering for dairy free diets.
Milk: we usually use soya milk - most supermarkets do their own brand versions now, which are generally cheaper, as well as selling the big brands like Alpro. Some people prefer rice or almond milk, which is less regularly sold in the big stores.
Marg: We tend to buy Pure - which again is available in most supermarkets. The husband prefers the sunflower version. http://www.puredairyfree.co.uk/
White Fat (for pastry): I usually buy Trex, which again you can get at the supermarket.

Pesto: Morrison's sell a vegan nut free pesto, amazing! It's called Florentino Basil Pesto and is available in the specialist diet section. http://www.seedlingshowcase.com/db/product.asp?id=43148
For more specialist products & treats for the serious vegan, I recommend Redwood Foods - they do good vegan cheeses, various 'meat replacement' products & vegan fudge!
