Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Utterly fantastic!As a long time vegan, I was almost embarrassed about buying a 'fake' cheese cookbook. Its soo much more though! The recipes are reliably wonderful and surprisingly healthy. Potential allergens are listed at the side, they have interesting variations to most recipes. It does use american cup sizes (you dip the different size cups into dry or wet ingredients), as do a lot of vegan cook books, personally I find that far easier than weighing things out, I actually convert English weighed recipes to cups! Ingredients that might be new to people (nutritional yeast, umeboshi plums) can be found in health food shops or often supermarkets now. The only pain is getting onion powder, I used to make it in a coffee grinder, but you could always ...

So far I have made boursin, guacamole grillers, mozzeralla, gruyere toasts and an AMAZING quiche which is indistinguishable from the real thing. It isn't cheese so don't buy it and then moan, it is uncheese which is much nicer. Rating:  - When it's too good to be true....When something seems too good to be true, it's because it usually is, and this book is no exception. I don't know what American cheese is like, but if you like English Cheese, and are hoping to find a replacement - this book is NOT for you. I have just made 'Gee Whizz Spread'. It smelled very familiar, but it took me a while to place the 'aroma'. Then I got it - the poo of breastfed babies. Trust me - I'm a Midwife. Determined to find ways of making a palatable vegan diet, I did put some in my mouth - the taste ..... Yuck. This book got one star because there was no option for giving it none. Rating: - Some impressive foods, from your very own kitchenI like this cookbook because it has a wealth of recipes for cheese substitutes and a lot of them are pretty tasty too. However, I have to say, that I was a bit disappointed with some of the results, as I was expecting to achieve almost perfect replicas of their dairy counterparts. I think some of this is down to my conditioning, so I can't be too harsh with my criticism. I read one review claiming that half the ingredients are not available in the UK, as the book was written for an American market and while this is true for one or two ingredients, I had no problem at all getting hold of ingredients listed in the book at all. Rating: - SMILE! Say Uncheese!This is the best cook book I've bought for ages, I just cant quite believe that this delicious food is dairy free, fairly low in calories and actually good for me! I want to open up a restaurant in its honour! Every recipe I've tried so far has far exceeded my expectations. Some of the ingredients can be difficult to find, especially for U.K residents, The only place I found the Nutritional Yeast flakes (a cheesy sort of nutty food supplement) was on goodnessdirect.co.uk's website. Agar agar (a tasteless nutritious sea vegetable that acts as a gelling agent or gelatine substitute) should not be bought from goodnessdirect. I paid 3 pounds and 69 pence for 28g (and subsequently bought 4 boxes as I thought I'd never find it anywhere ... Read More: |
