Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 Can we tell food tales here and ask food questions? I just sent you a recipe for Mexican Pie. When I made it yesterday I reached into the cupboard for the small bag of nutritional yeast I bought at Whole Foods eons ago and never used. I measured out the 1/3 cup, poured it on top of the tofu and then stuck my nose in the top of the bag so see what nutritional yeast smelled like. Yikes!!!!! The bag was full of cayenne pepper! I sure had a reaction to that. Actually I was more worried about scrapping the cayenne off the tofu so that I didn't have to go out and buy another block of tofu. I did a pretty good job of it. Hey, no wonder my DH loved the recipe, it was full of cp! I was looking up the nutritional value of nutritional yeast in " Whole Foods Companion " (which by the way was a great buy at Half Priced Books for only $14.95) and the author said that it is the same as Brewer's Yeast. Haven't I heard a dozen discussions on the internet which says that the two are not the same? Kathleen schuller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 Kathleen: Yes -- " food " , recipes, ingredients, preparation, etc. discussion is okay. What I am wanting to avoid is just " general " discussion or vegetarian " lifestyle " , " AR " , etc. There are lots of other lists for that (like Veglife). We have lots of people on the list who are not vegetarian but do enjoy vegetarian cooking and eat lots of vegetarian meals. So, the real purpose here is to share recipes but, of course, people will have recipe requests or questions about ingredients or where to find them or about preparation. Hope this makes sense. As far as the yeast thing -- brewer's and nutritional are, technically, two different types, but they are sometimes used interchangably. I recommend " Red Star " Brand nutritional yeast -- it is the only one found to contain B-12.
