Notes about this book

  • NicoleBrown on October 05, 2025

    French Onion Fungi Soup (page 163) - this was very time consuming. 6 onions seemed like a lot. Could probably go with 4 instead? Onion to liquid ratio seemed a little off. Used a mix of dried shiitake + white button mushrooms. Decent, but I don’t think i would want to remake. I will be eating this giant batch for the rest of my life anyway.

    Pourable Mozzarella (page 88) - does this…have a taste? I’ve used it in multiple recipes now and I’m honestly not sure. Easy enough to throw together. I used sunflower seeds for this round.

    High-Protein Cottage Cheese (page 83) - I enjoy vegan recipes, but I have a hard time when vegans name their recipes after things that already exist. That being said - this recipe surprised me with how close it actually does taste to cottage cheese.

      The flavor is really good, but the texture is slightly off — crumbly, and not as melty as store bought. It sort of clumps up when it melts, rather than getting oozy and stretchy. Not bad for serving with crackers/charcuterie, but most likely will not be my go-to vegan cheddar recipe for slicing, shredding, and melting. The search continues. *sigh*
