Rating: Summary: It's the CHEEZYEST! Review: I read every page of this cookbook and have already made two "cheeze" creations. I gave some Gee Whiz to a co-worker who can't eat dairy and he snarfed it up! The Unprocessed Cheeze Sauce is heavenly...better than any dairy sauce you have ever eaten! This book is full of wonderful dairy-free creations that are healthy and taste great. These recipes are better than any vegetarian cheese you could buy and much healthier. Not only this...every recipe is easy! You must try the Three-Cheeze Lasagna...ohlalala
Rating: Summary: Great food and Cheeze Cake to Die For Review: I'm allergic to dairy products and I used to miss them with a wild passion. Once I picked up The Uncheese Cookbook, those days were over. It is one of the most used cookbooks in my collection and easily one of my very favorites. It can be difficult to live dairy free with so many forbidden treats dangled before one. This book makes ignoring those items easy because the recipes are simple to make and delicious. An example: I used to make an exception to our non-dairy rules once a year on my husband's birthday when I would make him a cheese cake. (And then I would watch with sad hungry eyes as he ate it.) One year I decided to make the Gazebo Cheeze cake recipe for this cookbook for me and an ordinary cheese cake recipe for him. This way, I thought, I would not feel deprived. My plan backfired. He had a few bites of his cheese cake and then took over the Gazebo Cheeze Cake. It's that good. If all you got from this cookbook was delicious dairy free desserts, it would be well worth the price. But that is not all: she includes recipes for cheezes, spreads, dips, soups, fondues, sauces, pestos, quiches, casseroles, melty sandwiches, and more. If you get this book, you must try: Noodles Ramona which is kind of a noodles Romanoff knock off. I made this for a pot-luck at work and even my vegetarian averse friends couldn't get enough. Baked Macaroni and Cheeze, a dish that embodies the true meaning of comfort food. Rich Tofu Creme Cheeze. It's delicious on bagels or spread on banana bread. Colby Cheeze. Great picnic food! Tofu Whipped Topping served over fresh blueberries And of course the Gazebo Cheeze Cake. Just make enough for seconds and thirds if you have a hungry male in your life.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: This is definitely my favorite cookbook! The recipes are delicious, easy to follow and quick to prepare.
Rating: Summary: Remarkable! Review: This is the best cookbook I've ever purchased! My family was having a very hard time adjusting to a vegan diet until I found this book! If you've wanted to transition to a vegan diet but the thought of giving up dairy products fills you with dread, this book is a MUST!
Rating: Summary: Great book if you've had a hankerin' for cheese! Review: The recipes in this book are easy and nutritious. My favorite is the smooth cheesy sauce. I mix it with picante sauce for a great queso dip.
Rating: Summary: Making the cheese transition smooth! Review: What an awesome book! I've been making the vegetarian transition (still working on dairy, eggs, and the occasional fish) and honestly, giving up cheese is the difficult one. The Gee Whiz Cheeze Spread is fabulous. Even my discerning husband said he loves it. Also the Swiss fondue is execellent. Incidentally, the Flakey Pie Crust recipe is the best, most healthy and easy-to-make crust recipe I've found so far. My family loves it with a blueberry filling. Thank you Joanne!
Rating: Summary: Get this book! I love it Review: Due to my daughters health condition our family is cutting out all dairy. Most commercial soy and rice substitutes have casein which is a milk product. I am also allergic to soy! I purchased this book out of desperation. I loved it at first read. The recipes are so original and sound so yummy. But I didn't want to write until I tried some. I made the feta recipe last night, not believing it would be good. It is great! I love this book. A good number of recipes don't use soy! Nutritional yeast and almonds are the base of many.
Rating: Summary: Weird! Review: While the cheezecake recipes are utterly delicious, I find that many of the savoury cheeze dishes taste just plain weird to me, and my 2 year old son refuses to eat them. Maybe after 7 years as a vegan I've lost my "cheese tooth"! (I don't care for the soy or rice cheezes available commercially either). If you are a cheese addict, you may enjoy these recipes as much as the other reviewers. But if you've been cheese-free for years like I have, you may wonder why anyone ever wanted to eat cheese in the first place.
Rating: Summary: good eat'n! Review: I'm addicted to the Uncheese Cookbook. I especially love the toasted cheeze sandwhiches. As a vegetarian I lived on them, and I thought that when I became a vegan I was giving up this feast forever. Not so! You don't have to give up your favorite foods when you go vegan. This book showed me that I can eat ethically, healthfully, and happily. Thank you Joanne Stepaniak!
Rating: Summary: Uncheese has never tasted so Great! Review: This book is perfectly amazing. It includes UNcheese recipes for "blocks" of cheese that you can use on sandwiches or in other recipes; soups/chowders; fondue recipes; pizzas and casseroles; desserts (UNcheesecake! ). Most of the recipes are quite low in fat (nutritional analyses are included), contrary to what some might believe. Yes, a lot of the "cheeses" use nuts, but many use beans, nutritional yeast, and other amazing ingredients. Recipes are fairly easy to make, uncomplicated, and use easily-obtainable ingredients, for the most part. Some of the "block" cheeses require agar-agar, which is a seaweed derived thickener used in place of "gelatin," and this ingredient can be costly. But otherwise, the recipes are cheap to make, taste great, and are healthy. I had a nonvegan friend of mine try the "colby cheeze." his reaction? "wow, if I didn't know better, I would totally think this was real cheese!" Do yourself a favor and get this book. There are so many reasons to cut out the dairy, and this book lets you do so and still have your cheezy treats.
