(More customer reviews)Well organized with good menu selections, the Goldbecks make sure you know they want you to become a vegetarian. I have found the most useful recipes to be the appetizers and desserts, where coincidently, you can usually find the highest fat conventional items! Also, the OneEggLess recipe notes are splendid. The omlette is delicious and tastes even better with some pico de gallo or hot sauce!
The entrees, heavy on tofu and other soy protein, are somewhat repetitive, but they give lots of options for "making your own" recipes off of their bases. I'm sure they'd be appalled that I've converted some of their vegetarian/vegan recipes to include chicken, pork and lean beef, but yogurt cheese is as advertised, a very useful and healthy product. We eat a lot of tofu and miso already in our diets (we eat Asian style about 4 times a week) so I didn't feel the need to up my soy intake any further. I do make sure I use organic, non-GMO (genetically modified) soy products.
The Goldbergs also stress adding the veggies in their book, as well as in their other book, The Healthiest Diet in the World. They have a good point, and I really like their ideas.
I make yogurt cheese with a Donvier Deluxe Yogurt Cheese Maker rather that the strainer or funnel method. You can "set it and forget it" in the fridge overnight, and yes indeed, if you can use a spoon, you *can* make yogurt cheese.
I like using my own homemade yogurt, IMO it tastes worlds better than even organic store bought. I use a 1 quart Salton idiot-proof yogurt maker. I make it with organic 1% milk for a just a hint of fat for taste. Sometimes I "cut" the 1% with some Nonfat. I use the Yogourmet starter that I get at my natural foods store every third batch, using 1/2 c of made yogurt the other times.
We started using yogurt cheese in addition to adding flax to our diet to help reduce our cholesterol/saturated fat. We'll see how that works out. In the meantime, our food tastes great and we're packing in the nutrients, getting "creamy" yummy stuff, and all the while cutting fat. My kinda cookin' :D
