Let me preface this by saying, I love "The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook." It was one of my first vegan cookbooks. I've had it for that long. And you can tell by looking at it that it has been well used. I've made lots of stuff out of it and it has all been good. Most notably the oatmeal cookie recipe. The best.
I've always been intrigued by the sections that instruct you on how to make soymilk, tofu and yogurt from stratch. I had never been intrigued enough to actually try them, but I liked thinking that some day I could. Well, I finally did. I made the soymilk from scratch. It was gross. I think I let the beans soak for too long, because it was very sour.
Except for the fact that it was undrinkable, it was sorta fun to try. Maybe I will try again. Or at least look into a soymilk maker.
I tried to make cashew cheese once. It was a vegan thing. Holy cow it was nasty!
ReplyDeleteHA! Thanks for the warning. I had been checking out those nut cheese recipes.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, that mostly, I don't like vegan cheeses. So we very rarely ever buy them.
