I have this cookbook but not a chance yet to cook much out of it. If any

members own it please give a review about what you have tried. Lately I've been

hooked on the groups recipes and of all things, the Goodhousekeeping Vegetarian

cookbook, there are some awesome recipes in it.

Hi Donna

I have this book anmd I made the Roasted Butternut Squash soup. I

really hated it, which may have been in part because I oversalted it

and also I am fairly unfamiliar with butternut squash. I was reading on

a blog where someone had made this soup and they mentioned

being " afraid of the 2 peppers " and my recipe made no mention of

peppers so I was wondering if the UK version of the book was different?

Undaunted, I plan to try something else this weekend, probably the

Coconut Heaven cupcakes as I now have a muffin tin of the correct size!

I also love the Falafels!! So good. Has anyone tried the Mango_Ginger Tofu? It

sounds so good but a lot of work.

Christine,

I also have the cookbook which I adore. Never tried the Rasted Butternut

Squash recipe but looked in it to see about the " 2 peppers " it mentioned nothing

about it. What does that mean anyhow?

Before I went gluten-free, my favorite recipe in VwaV

was the Ethiopian Seitan and Peppers. I think seitan

is the one thing I miss since taking that plunge, but

I feel better for having eliminated it. So, that is

my jealous recommendation. Have a chunk for me. :)

Now why are you gluten free? Are you allergic?

There is a folder of gluten free recipes in our files.

Thanks. All those in my book are similarly sans gluten. ;) I find

it rather easy actually. Grains in general take somewhat of a back

seat in most calorie restriction (CRON) regimes anyway, as they are

higher in calories with relatively less in the way of nutrients than

fruits and veggies (i.e., Dr. Furhman's H=N/C formula {health =

nutrients divided by calories http://eat2live.notlong.com ). I did

it as an experiment when my blood tests came back negative for celiac

disease. I still had suspicions that my daily homemade seitan habit

had wreaked some havoc on my intestines, and my understanding is the

test can come back false negative (though not the reverse), esp. if

you had already been cutting back prior. Since I liked the

subjective results of my little one mouse study, I stuck with it.

Same way I went vegan. Figure you can do almost anything for two

weeks, and by the time you've really tried it, that's often all the

proof you need. But, I do hope you like it. I still use similar

spice combinations to that recipe, just with veggies instead.

Celiac disease is a very specific set of symptoms arrising as a reaction to

eating wheat, caused by the bodies production of histamine. A negative to

celiacs only tells part of the story. Celiac disease testing does not test for

glutan allergy or intollerance or even an allergy or intollerance to other

grains. You can even be allergic to wheat and if your reaction is not the

specific reactions that are discribed as Celiac's disease, you get a negative.

It isn't a false negative, it is a true negative based on a very restricted set

of symptoms.

Understood. I don't think we're disagreeing, right? :)

Anyway, personally, at the end of my " one mouse study, "

I knew it was a good idea for me even without the test

results. And I certainly didn't want to get a biopsy,

since it wasn't much of a hardship, after all. Further-

more, it gets easier every day. I've found substitutes

for the *textures* I craved. Surely, it's harder on my

friends and family. LOL.

Celiac disease testing does not test for glutan allergy or

can even be allergic to wheat and if your reaction is not the

My grandson is not allergic to wheat, but when he eats it he gets so hyper that

I can't stand to be around him. All I have to do is hear his voice to know if

he has been eating wheat. He is allowed to eat it for dinner, but not for

breakfast or lunch when he will be expected to concentrate for school.

I don't know what I woud do if I couldn't eat it. Pasta is a big part of my

diet.'
