Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 Hi, I just bought " The Uncheese Cookbook " to help my husband wean himself off cheese. To be really honest: I'm tired of trying new recipes and not liking the taste (me nor my husband)!!!!!!! So can some one help us out here? I'm going to be having a baby in 2 months or so and *really* need to expand my repertoire of recipes! Ok. For those of you who have this book, which recipes do you like the best or which ones seem to taste good to many people? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 I really like the curried cauliflower soup. Instead of adding all the individual spices I just add some curry powder. I make it less curried so that the kids like it too. I have also made this soup using different veggies like broccolli or even mushrooms.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 I just got this book too. Just tried my first recipe from it a couple nights ago: 'Potato, Tomato & Cheeze Chowder' (p. 46). My non-veg husband thought it tasted like real cheese. It was very thick and filling and we all really liked it, even my picky 3-year-old! I'd like to hear others' recommendations from the book as well. bonnie - " Shelly Eades " <sgeades Tuesday, January 15, 2002 3:23 PM RE: Re: The Uncheese Cookbook Hi, I just bought " The Uncheese Cookbook " to help my husband wean himself off cheese.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Your husband may not b e willing to eat any of the fake cheeses in the book. Personally, I don't have the book, but people have cooked lots of things for me. I can't stand the taste of nut. yeast, which is a common ingredient to most of the recipes, and while cashew based dishes are nice and creamy, I still don't think they make decent " cheese " . I keep waiting for a good cheese sub, but haven't found one I like. In the meantime, when I'm avoiding dairy (I'm a dairy-minimalist, rather than a vegan, for now anyway) I prefer smoked tofu. It's closer to cheese than anything I've found. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Yeah, in the book " Table for Two " Joanne Stepaniak includes a recipe for " pizza cheeze " that uses only firm tofu and light miso. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds delicious. Maria Sandra Mort <sandra.mort wrote: Your husband may not b e willing to eat any of the fake cheeses in the book.
