What my mom discovered is that they aren't required to mention that often they're processed on the same equipment as dairy ingredients. This probably isn't enough to deter most folks, but if you have allergies to milk, it's probably enough to make you react (it is around here!). So beware.Taleiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521205925498194770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1148182950573513182006-05-20T20:42:00.000-07:002006-05-20T20:42:00.000-07:00in the aplets and coplets recipe, can agar be subb...in the aplets and coplets recipe, can agar be subbed for gelatin?Devahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116370679609782812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1148158564024347472006-05-20T13:56:00.000-07:002006-05-20T13:56:00.000-07:00I posted to Jo (about tahini and uncheese.)

Hey, I've been struggling to a...Hi, OshinkoTickle! Hey, I've been struggling to answer your question on which "top 3" cookbooks I would recommend. Boy, that's tough! I have over 60 cookbooks now, both vegan and non, as well as four 3-inch binders filled with recipes I've printed out our copied from other cookbooks.<BR/><BR/>This morning I finally figured out how to narrow it down. I asked myself which cookbooks I would buy first if all my books were lost and I was starting over from scratch. The very first one would be Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone". It's not vegan, but many of the recipes are vegan or are easily adapted. The book is very comprehensive, and in the middle she covers every vegetable alphabetically, with recipes, cooking techniques, and "go with" flavors for each veggie. I turn to her first each time I come back from the farmer's market. I could eat well for the rest of my life with just her cookbook alone.<BR/><BR/>The second is "World Vegetarian" by Madhur Jaffrey, to satisfy my love of ethnic cuisine. Her bean and legume recipes are shockingly good.<BR/><BR/>The third one you already have -- "Ultimate Uncheese" by Jo Stepaniak. Cheez Please Soup, Gee Whiz, and Amazing Mac & Cheez...'nuf said!<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1148129785740366502006-05-20T05:56:00.000-07:002006-05-20T05:56:00.000-07:00I usually hate black eyed peas, but I think I'd tr...I usually hate black eyed peas, but I think I'd try those mini-pitas (:<BR/><BR/>I agree that chilled soups are perfect in the summer.

I checked Uncheese cookbook out from the library and was very excited to try a recipe until I noticed that a lot of the recipes call for tahini. The no dairy child I cook for is also allergic to sesame seeds (and tomatos, peanuts and eggs). Any suggestions for a tahini sub?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105901992387921678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1148076745297598862006-05-19T15:12:00.000-07:002006-05-19T15:12:00.000-07:00I just love how you get creative with sandwiches! ...I just love how you get creative with sandwiches!
