soymilk for cooking?

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I 've been wondering about this for months. Can you use soymilk for

cooking? I make cornbread a lot, and I've always been curious as to how it would

taste if I used vanilla soymilk, but I never tried it because I didn't want to

waste the 70¢ package of cornbread mix. Cheapskate!

Sure you can. Typically milk in recipes is just there

for a liquid, unless it is featured more prominently

like in a cream soup, so you could use rice, soy,

almond, cashew, or whatever milk you wanted to try.

My only caution would be to use a non-flavored soy milk...

just use plain, because the vanilla might be gross in

some recipes.

As far as cornbread goes, I don't think you'd notice

that much. I know some cornbread recipes I have made

before called for vanilla extract, so... it is worth a try!

Dear Kadee,

I am Karla Williams, just joined last week. Your question is right up my alley.

My hubby, son and I are vegans, and use soy milk all of the time. And yes, I

use it in cooking. I substitute it cup for cup for whatever traditional recipes

would call for. I even use the soy milk powder in my homemade whole wheat

bread. Boy is that stuff yummy.

We are Seventh Day Adventists, and I purchase our soy milk powder at the local

Adventist Book Store. If you don't have one locally, try the health food

stores, or maybe try Wild Oats Markets if they have one in your area. Our Wild

Oats Market doesn't have one.

I also found a place online where you can purchase the soy milk powder.

www.andysmarket.com. It is located in Walla Walla Washington. You would have

to contact them to see whether or not they would ship to your area. I purchased

a box of soy milk powder in June. My son is a student at Walla Walla College,

and he can bring the stuff home with him when he comes home on a weekend break

or whatever. Saves shipping charges. But, I got a box containing 5 20 quart

packets of the soy milk powder (SoyGood brand, vanilla flavor too) for about

USD$55.00. It was well worth the expenditure, as the packages are about $15.00

in our local ABC store, plus the driving time, and the expense of gas going and

coming. Anyway, that is just a thougt. Andy's employees are very thoughtful,

considerate and kind.

 

Sincerely,

 

Karla Williams

Hi! I'll look that up. We're vegetarians, and we're trying to ease into becoming

vegan. Hubby doesn't like it much, apparently milk and eggs are " good for us " ...

ah well. I haven't heard of the soymilk powder, but I'll see if they have it

next time we go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods Market. Those are the only stores

I would think would have something like that. Thanks for the suggestion, and

nice to meet you.

I've been using soymilk for baking for years, but I agree that you

should use the original and not the vanilla flavor. It is great in

cornbread. I encourage you to try it. Also...egg replacer is a great

substitute for eggs. Good luck in your experimenting.
