WELCOME 'no soy vegan.' .... and coming recipe book

[Guest guest]

Hi Christa - Welcome to our group! We do so hope you will enjoy it

 

Going vegan? Oh good for you! it's a great feeling (and good for the animals and

the planet too, of course). I was veggie for around 18 years and then decided,

just around the start of this century, that vegan was the way for me. I wavered

a bit about calling myself vegan (so easy to make mistakes, backslide, etc.),

but I finally bit the tofu bullet, as it were.

 

About the non-soy alternatives to dairy: Dunno. I used to be able to buy a rice

'parmezan' cheez that didn't have casein in it, but unfortunately it was

discontinued from my local cheese shop so I have had to do without. I make up my

own mixture of flavours to substitute now.

 

Coincidentally, I am now doing a collection of recipes for my own e-cookbook

that is vegan, omits fat/oil and salt (well, people can always add their own,

right?), and also omits soy and gluten because of people with allergies. Me, I

have no problem with either, but it's been a wild adventure to, first, find out

how very much I depended on one or the other (unknown to myself) and, second,

figure out how to avoid the soy and gluten altogether! I'm flying by the seat of

my apron and creating new recipes on the hop! Great fun!!! The collection will

be out Jan or Feb (nearing completion now), so Watch This Space (I've always

wanted to say that!).

 

Anyway, so pleased you're here. Ask anything you like and see what we can come

up with for you!

Hello everyone - I'm brand new here on this site also. I also want

to avoid soy products and go vegan as much as possible and am looking

forward to learning alot here. Does anyone recommend a good

cheese/dairy substitute that doesnt rely on soy? thanks.

 

Best regards,

Christa
