Several recipes have become staples over the years, in particular the All Season Blend (page 52, you don't ever need to buy broth mix again!) I really need to branch out beyond my current staples and will be trying the Colby and Muenster soon, and Jo's faves too! So cool that the author gave you a shout-out!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589461088079201199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924184019770014957.post-69763731933961990862010-10-05T16:06:39.968-05:002010-10-05T16:06:39.968-05:00um, your agar skills rock! my un-cheezes never tu...um, your agar skills rock! my un-cheezes never turn out that amazing. i'm totally drooling.miss vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180777638105214212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924184019770014957.post-64134340462988496982010-09-24T23:44:19.583-05:002010-09-24T23:44:19.583-05:00I LOVE this book too.

Luckily they sold it as well and I left with a few blocks that were worth the hefty price tag and piece of mind.

I usually advise starting with something other than the block uncheeses because they have a softer texture than what most people expect (though I think they are delicious). But aren't they a blast to make? Be sure to try the Crock Cheez and Havarti (my personal favorites), Gee Whiz Spread, and to-live-for Lemon Teasecake, too. Keep on uncheesin'!Jo Stepaniakhttp://www.vegsource.com/jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924184019770014957.post-61062702515104254752010-09-21T09:01:54.528-05:002010-09-21T09:01:54.528-05:00I love this book!

The recipes were delicious, as I recall.

And of course, chocolate! I feel very spoiled by the package you sent to me--I have been working my way through the sunbutter and of course the lentil curls are long gone! ;) <br /><br />Thanks again, Sarah, for partnering with me--so much fun!

However, with the introduction of Dayia and Follow your Heart I have began using the un-cheeses a bit.
