4.0 out of 5 stars It's Cheese Jim, but not as we know it. 4 Mar 2003
By Meerkat VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the tin! 17 Mar 2006
By J. Crane
Format:Paperback
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cheesy in an UnCheesy Way! Great Book!!! 14 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars SMILE! Say Uncheese! 14 Oct 2006
By R. Derrig
Format:Paperback
This is the best cook book I've bought for ages, I just cant quite believe that this delicious food is dairy free, fairly low in calories and actually good for me! I want to open up a restaurant in its honour!

Every recipe I've tried so far has far exceeded my expectations.

Some of the ingredients can be difficult to find, especially for U.K residents, The only place I found the Nutritional Yeast flakes (a cheesy sort of nutty food supplement) was on goodnessdirect.co.uk's website. Agar agar (a tasteless nutritious sea vegetable that acts as a gelling agent or gelatine substitute) should not be bought from goodnessdirect. I paid 3 pounds and 69 pence for 28g (and subsequently bought 4 boxes as I thought I'd never find it anywhere else) only to find that you can get it in chinese supermarkets for about 60p or so in powder form!

In terms of it being an American book and everything being measured in 'cups', its easy to use if you just get yourself a cheap set of American measuring cups, available almost everywhere now. (a set of regular 'key' measuring spoons is also a good buy if you dont already have some)

Overall, the uncheeses are remarkably cheese-like, I'm sure by now you must think that I work for the author, but believe me I dont! I'd say that you could easily fool non suspecting guests into thinking they were eating something with cheese in it. If you like cheese then you'll love this book, be prepared for something a little different than cheese as we know it and respect it for what it is and you'll be fine.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars It's well cheezy. 14 May 2009
By Purple Amethyst
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a bit sceptical of this book but I got it on strength of the reviews I found on the US Amazon website.
I recently discovered that I suffer from multiple allergies: wheat, eggs, milk and nuts so I was really pining for something tasty, in particular, I was missing gooey cheese so I thought I would give this a go.
As it says in the beginning of the book, they cannot taste exactly the same without milk casein but the uncheeses will be quite close to the real thing and still good in their own right.
The ingredients were easy to find, the most difficult to get were the nutritional yeast flakes but I found some sites online. Someone in another review said they found it hard to find onion and garlic powder, but any supermarket in the uk sells onion and garlic granules; they are finely ground just like powder and I got good results from them.
I was disappointed that I couldn't make any of the block uncheeses as they all contain nuts, so I can't review them.
Here are my reviews of some recipes:
The white bean boursin was actually pretty good, I made the tofu version but the raw garlic was overpowering. I recommend a bit less. Overall it didn't have that melt in the mouth sensation but the taste was very close to the real thing. You can taste the tofu though.
The Nacho sauce was really good, much better than the rubbish you get at the cinema!
Betta Fetta tasted quite miso-ey, but it was really good and an excellent substitute. I would recommend marinading it for an extra day in olive oil and mixed herbs. The texture was really similar to the real thing. I enjoyed this a lot.
The spicy tomato and herb cheez spread was tasty, my husband liked it more than I did though.... Read more ›

Each of the uncheeses we have sampled so far have not been cheddar, however the point of the book is to provide edible and healthy substitutions with a cheesy bite. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Had never heard of half the ingredients.
The book is American, therfore, all the measurements etc are too. You have to try and work out what is meant as American slang is used. I haven't found this book useful at all. Read more
