Customer Reviews

It's Cheese Jim, but not as we know it.
If cheese makes you sneeze, brings you out in spots or you are ethically opposed to eating it, but like the taste - this recipe book was written just for you.
It's actually quite scary how realistic these 'cheeze' recipes taste, especially when you know that nothing even remotely dairy has gone into them.
Every recipe is compiled of good, often naturally low fat, nourishing ingredients and they all taste remarkably cheesy. They are all dairy, cholesterol and lactose free.
However, if you are a cheddar fan, I should warn you that these recipes imitate gooey processed cheese, fondue type cheeses, gruyere etc, rather than your good old fashioned English mousetrap.
This is an American cookbook so some ingredients might be hard to find in English shops.
So, if you want the taste without the side-effects, if you want to eat cheesy foods without the knock-on effects of weight gain and clogged arteries - you should definitely consider this unusual but remarkably effective little cookbook.

Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Although intrigued by the prospect of a non-dairy cheese that actually bore some resemblance to the real thing, I didn't think it was actually posible. Thus, it was with some apprehension that I first attempted a recipe from this book, "mostarella". The recipe instructed me to blend all the ingredients and then cook it until it thickened. After doing this, I was even less confident than before (it looked like porridge!), but put it in the fridge to set none the less. However, 4 hours later, I was pleasantly surprised to see it had set solid, and, later still, when I sliced it up and put it on a pizza, I was even more impressed with the taste! You honestly could not tell the difference; the "cheez" was incredibly tasty and cheese-like. I have since made many more of the recipes from here, and their authenticity never ceases to amaze me! This book cannot be criticised on the grounds that the ingredients are hard to find; any decent health food shop will sell them and many UK based mail order companies sell them if you don't know of any such shops. All in all, this is an amazing book, that I would whole heartedly recommend to any vegan or anyone looking to reduce their dairy intake. A winner!

Very Cheesy in an UnCheesy Way! Great Book!!!
I bought this book for the novelty, but it's extremely odd how cheese-like some of the non-dairy cheese recipes can be! The recipes are very tastey. While all of them do not taste like their cheese counterparts, they do have a lot of the same qualities that people love about cheese! Some of the cheese-recipes melt too! All in all, I think this is a great book!
