Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Are you sure it wasn't sharp cheese? I have never heard of shape.

Several of the receipts state: " Low-fat soft cheese is an excellent ingredient to use in cooking since it gives a rich flavour without being too runny.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Is it a British cookbook? Shape is a brand of low fat dairy produce over here. It is worthwhile checking out the ingredients in these low fat products. I know that Shape yoghurt has animal gelatine in it to bulk it up. It sounds as though your recipe is suggesting a kind of soft cheese like Le Roule. The texture is a bit softer than feta, but not as runny as Brie, more like a cream cheese.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Christie, Thank you so much. Yes, it is a UK cookbook. I haven't discovered Shape brand being referred to directly within a recipe but rather in the end notes. Our local grocery stocks a number of soft cheeses. I shall be able to find a vegetarian version. I'm experimenting with some of the recipes in this cookbook because my daughter is expected home for the holidays. I'd love to have some new fare available for her to eat when she arrives. This list and the cookbook -- lots of yum for her to choose from.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Actually, I googled around and there is a company in austraila, that makes a brand of cheese called 'shape cheese'. I couldn't find much info about it tho. Perhaps if we have any members from 'down under' they could tell us more. Or perhaps you are right and it is 'sharp' cheese, lol.
