cheese substitutes, lactose intolerance

[Guest guest]

One of my daughters, a lactose intolerant vegetarian, will eat " Veggie Slices, "

which are vegetarian--I don't know if they qualify as vegan, though. She says

the cheddar, pepper jack, and Monterey jack are acceptable, but draws the line

at the mozzarella imitation. She doesn't eat them straight, but sometimes as

one of the ingredients in a sandwich. The other daughter, who is a lactose

intolerant omnivore, says they are disgusting. She will, however, eat goat

cheese and feta, which are low in lactose. Manchego cheese, which is made from

sheep's milk, is pricy but a low lactose choice when you feel you must have a

sharp cheddar taste but are lactose intolerant.

 

Sue, slightly lactose intolerant omnivore, occasionally cooking vegetarian, but

mainly here for the recipes and ideas on what to feed the kids. (And no one in

the family but me likes tofu! LOL! And yesterday I tried to fix seitan for the

first time, with no recipes in the house...)
