Help!--Bob

[Guest guest]

Hi Bob, I know what you mean about the pizza. I am also attempting to

move away from dairy because of animal issues involved. I've tried a soy

cheese I found in the produce section, but was not impressed with the way

it melted or tasted. I guess that is one of my quests now to get that

mellow cheesy flavor and texture. I've been experimenting a little with

nutritional yeast as it seems to be a good thing both nutrition and

calorie-wise. I've not tried any of the mock cheese recipes using it

yet. Have you? What do you do when you are trying to duplicate the

place cheese holds in a recipe?

Hi Paula,

 

I love Veggie Slices from Galazy. They melt well.

There is a whole wheat, soy pizza they sell locally, but it's both heavy

in calories and overpriced. To make something

vegan or vegetarian doesn't mean it has to be absurdly expensive. They

make them in low fat versions.

 

I LOVE Toffuti, but it has way to many calories. And, I can plan on

eating no more than one a day. However,

I do well if the box survives two days.... :-)

 

So much of what is marketed as Vegan or Vegetarian is both overprices

and full of fat and calories.

 

That's why I try to promote buying natural ingredients.

 

At least down here on the Space Coast of Florida I can get great oranges

and fresh squeezed OJ.

 

I do miss picking apples....

 

Bob

Hi Paula,

I often use yeast flakes when i'm having pasta. I cook and drain the pasta

and coat it in a little olive oil (or sometimes olive oil based margarine)

and then sprinkle the yeast flakes on. I give it a little stir and its

ready to go.

I then have that with vegetables in a tomato sauce or veg bolognaise.

I have used it to make a cheese type sauce before but it wasn't hugely

successful.

Have you looked at the uncheese cookbook?
