Peggy.. Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

Hey Peggy,

 

Last Thanksgiving I made my own tofurky from a great vegan cookbook called

" how it all vegan " . I would recommend maybe picking up a couple of good

vegan cookbooks like this one as well as " very Vegetarian " by Jannequin

Bennett (it's actually a vegan cookbook).

Also check out your health food stores for vegan versions of sour cream,

cream cheese, mayo, etc. Tofutti brand is the best for the sour cream and

cream cheese... even YOU won't know the difference in taste ;-)

Veganaise is an unbelievable vegan mayo.

Some other sub's for recipes would be:

Eggs... Ener G Egg replacer

Butter...Soy Margarine

Sweetened Condensed Milk... Coconut milk with sweetener added

Evaporated Milk.... Coconut milk

Broth's... Imagine Foods makes a " No chicken " broth you just need to add

some seasoning to it to spice it up some.

 

All of these things can be found at a health food store and I'm sure the

staff there would be more than glad to help you out.

Good luck and *CHEERS* to you for helping your daughter adapt! What a great

mom!

 

:-)

>bouillon that mimic her grandmother's beans made with ham broth, a family
