Actually, her name is Joanne Stepaniak. _The Uncheese Cookbook_ was

the first book of hers that I bought. I liked it so much that I have

since gotten _Vegan Vittles_ and _The Nutritional Yeast Cookbook_.

She's written a couple of others as well.

 

I think she's brilliant. I love her books and her recipes always

work. _The Uncheese Cookbook_ and (I think) all of her others have

been published by " The Book Publishing Company " (yes - that's really

the name) in Summertown, Tennessee. _TUC_'s ISBN is 0-913990-42-6

and the cover price on my 1994 edition is $11.95 U.S.

 

I don't have time right now to post any recipes from the book, but I

can recommend it highly. If you want a more all-purpose book that

also has some " uncheese " recipes in it, however, _Vegan Vittles_ is

great. _The Nutritional Yeast Cookbook_ has some awesome recipes as

well, including a great Cream of Mushroom soup that I use as a base

for a yummy green bean casserole - you know, the one with the onion

rings on top - vegan white trash cooking at its best!! More about

that as we approach cool weather and the holidays.

Take the Girl out of the Trailer Park... " birthday party last year

with loads of wonderful 1950's and '60's Southern U.S. church

potluck-type vegan food. Vegan pigs-in-blankets or congealed salad,

anyone?)

I don't have either of those as well, but will be looking forward to

hearing reviews!

 

I do have the book " Of these ye may freely eat " and it has several

cheese " forms " made from anything from cashews to soy to pimento or

almonds.. not at all heavily reliant on soy! They do mainly use Agar-

agar for thickening, though I think you can probably use xanthan gum

for the saucier kinds.

Teresa--I have relied on the Newstart cookbook for over 10 years now, and

highly recommend it! The recipes are simple, use all natural, vegan ingredients

for the most part, and the recipes I've tried have turned out great. Joanne

Stepaniak has a NEW cookbook out--The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. It's an update

of the first one. I just bought it yesterday, and it's wonderful! No--these

books do not rely heavily on soy. Yes--the cheeses taste great! Both are highly

recommended.

Ewww. ;>\ Thanks for telling us, Portia. You could also buy white " wonder "

type bread and use IT for glue, it works really well as such. UGH to both

versions of glue!

When referencing a cookbook and publishing the recipe on a List, it's always a

good idea to provide the author's name. In this case, it's Joanne Stepaniak.

 

I've spoken/corresponded with her in the past about these kinds of things and

she's generally not really keen on people posting her recipes (that's an

understatement unless she's changed her mind over the past few years), and

certainly not with proper accredition.

well since I have the Uncheese cookbook I already know who the author

is. Fancy that. Anyone can easily look up the information online or

in a bookstore/library. As I mentioned before, the recipe is posted on

several websites, with or without the author's permission. I did not

copy the instructions btw, only the ingredient list.

There is no copyright law on ingredient lists or recipe titles, published or unpublished, HOWEVER there are copyright laws on the instructions for recipes. If you copy more than 10% (I think) of the recipe instructions and pass them off as your own without giving proper credit, then it is considered to be plagerism. Where Lisa only included the ingredient list, she is OK, whether the original author agrees with it being posted or not.For example, there are only so many ways one can make a BLT (vegan or traditional). When you only have 4 or 5 ingredients ([veggie] bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, toasted bread and maybe [veggie] mayonnaise) if you have to change the ingredients, what else are you going to replace it with? It wouldn't be a BLT anymore without any of those ingredients. --- On Sun, 1/11/09, Lisa
