Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Ahimsa. Hi, folks. This is Rose (again), I'm 59 and live in rural upstate New York. I'm vegan. Hubby is with the exception of yogurt. We tried soy yogurt and I gotta tell ya - I would have given away gov'ment secrets if I was forced to eat that again. But I digress... QUESTION: I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe - vegan, of course. It calls for CORN OIL, but I couldn't find certified organic corn oil. Instead, I do have Sunflower Oil. Would the sunflower oil be a good substitute for the corn oil? I just don't know what the corn oil contributes, so substituting is always questionable. Thanks in advance for the help. Ahimsa.

I'm guessing the sunflower oil would be fine. If the cookies turn out well, please do share the recipe with us! Rachael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Rose,I hear you on the yogurt tip. Some of the soy yogurts are SO bad. Have you tried different brands, though? I've found that Whole Soy Co. makes some awesome soy yogurt (I found em at Kroger), whereas Silk is just okay. Silk's yogurt reminds me of cherry pie filling because of the tartness, and I find Stonyfield Farms soy yogurt to be totally inedible. SarahOn 2/18/07, Rose Lieberman <lapis wrote: Ahimsa. Hi, folks.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Sarah, thanks for the info on the other soy yogurts. I'm not sure which one I tried, but it was plain and not flavored. Maybe I'll give it a whirl again. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I make my own soy yogurt - but unless you can get fresh, homemade soymilk from an asian market -- it is impossible. My soy yogurt is VERY good. wholesoy and silk are gross to me. I have always like unsweetened yogurt (dairy) - so unsweetened soy is not a stretch for me. I highly recommend Wildwood if you can find it. It tastes almost as good as mine! http://www.wildwoodfoods.com/ you know, yogurt (homemade dairy - incubated for 24 hours) is the *only* think I miss being vegan. But my soy-gurt is pretty darn good... recipe for soy yogurt * 1/2gal sweetened soy milk (fresh, sweetened - not commercial!! silk, etc will not work) * 2T kudzu root, powdered and dissolved in a small bit of the soy milk * yogurt starter for 1/2gal 'milk' (1/2-1c plain soy yogurt works too since yogurt starter is rarely vegan) mix all. incubate 8 hours. do not touch your batch - just stick straight into fridge. Let chill 24 hours. If your soymilk was not the right quality, then it will be a nice solid mass. If not - then you cannot use that milk next try. , " Sarah Middendorff " <lovetheaudiophile wrote: > > Rose, > > I hear you on the yogurt tip. Some of the soy yogurts are SO bad.
