Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I had two and I hated them, gave them away. I know others enjoy the recipes but I have not made anything good out of them and I tried several recipes. The Eggplant Parm. was edible but horrible the next day.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I don't like her books. Her mac & cheese should be called Mac & Barf. I donated mine to the public library.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I like her " Table for Two " a lot. I also have Vegan Deli and The Uncheese Cookbook, but Table for Two is the one I've used the most. I've wondered why people seem to love or hate her cookbooks, and I think the key might be your relationship to junk food. I think she's really, really good at putting whole foods together in ways that imitate yummy junk food goodness, but if you never liked junk food, that's probably not real appealing I think the mac & cheese casserole in Table for Two tastes a lot like Kraft (powdered) mac & cheese, and I used to live on that stuff as a teenager, so it's comfort food to me. But last year or so (two years ago maybe?) when my partner and I were still getting lots of cheese and cream cravings, Jo Stepaniak's books were a huge help. There's a lemon " cheesecake " filling and a cream cheese that's made from almonds in The Uncheese Cookbook that I liked a lot. (If I remember correctly, Erin blogged about the cheesecake on his zenpawn.com/vegblog/.) Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have the Uncheese Cookbook and Vegan Vittles. I haven't made a lot of recipes from either, but admit the mock-cheese recipes are " interesting. " However, I *loved* the two " cheesecake " recipes in the Uncheese Cookbook, and last weekend I made the Gardener's Pie (shepherd's pie) from Vegan Vittles and really enjoyed it.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi, I bought her Uncheese Cookbook off of Amazon after reading the reviews...many were 50/50. I made about 2 or 3 recipes so far, but had to play with the cheese sauces...add more vinegar or mustard here and there, till your taste buds hit the mark just right. Also, for those of you with allergies...she has MANY typos in that book. SOme that are noted as 'nut free', contain cashew or almond butter! I think her peanut butter dessert even says it's nut free, but it's NOT, hence the name..so weird! And she also uses tahini (ground sesame seeds) in about half of the recipes, and my son is allergic to sesame seeds.-robyn CA , " RAWKAW " <rawkaw wrote: > > does anyone use her books? > The Uncheese Cookbook ...I hear is great!...and I just ordered it > But I haven't tried her " They Saucy Vegetarian " , " Vegan Deli " and " Vegan Vittles " > > any help would be appreciated! > > Kathleen > VA > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
