I often taste refined coconut oil, but not always the coconut taste, just a bad taste. i think that's what happened with the cheese ball. it has the taste of branshwheier, which isn't all bad, but not at all what i wanted. Chao cheeses taste awful to me and kinda like what I'm t asting

I do like Violife cheeses,, have not seen spreads

The Violife cream cheese is excellent. We use it to make cheesecakes and similar.

No, I haven't. I don't think I've seen a spread. Do you mean a cheese spread or buttery spread? I have only tried the Parm and the cheddar shreds.

When I say spread, I mean a butter sub.

Ah, OK, thank you. I have never seen the Violife butter sub, so I'll have to keep an eye out.

It tastes very good and has no coconut flavour whatsever. I also like to make crumble with it.

I've never seen that here! I'll look for it, I mostly use Country Crock spread in sticks

I have the Violife in my fridge. It's definitely good but more like earth balance only better. I was hoping it would be like Miyoko's...as that is my very favorite. But the Violife is good.

I'm always reading Naturli is a very good vegan butter. I just looked and it is expensive, though!

Violife has coconut oil as second ingredient to canola. Earth Balance and Country Crock plant butters do not have coconut oil
Country Crock with almond oil is by far my fave, but it's been missing. I have the olive oil one which is also fine

I am cooking a vegan Fesenjan using fillet pieces. It's looking better than my previous attempts as it has darkened nicely. I am using this recipe, just exchanging the chicken for vegan substitute.

I made pancakes for breakfast. I found a recipe called Grandma's Old Fashioned Pancakes and veganized it. It is the best recipe for pancakes that I have found. Pancakes were a staple in my house growing up with my Dad insisting on having them every morning!

Coconut oil is fine if you use the refined. It's what is called for when making homemade vegan butter. No taste of coconut at all.

I made the mistake of using regular coconut oil the first time I made butter...

Ehhhhh....not true for everyone. I don't always notice it as coconut taste, and not always, but most often I get a very off taste. Like Chao cheese-I tried it twice because so many people like it and both times I got a very yucky taste from it other people said it was fine
I think different oil would have made the cheese ball much better

I also like Mykos but don`t care for the crumbly texture. I find Violife is the best pb spread that I`ve tasted over here. However I wish that it were unsalted. Moreover, all the other brands are far too salty.

Making the Gentle Chefs steak medallions in the IP.. Such a crazy simple, and reliable recipe, like most by him!

Potato leek soup. It's so good!

Oatmeal cookies.

Cornish pasties. They were delicious but I really need to learn to make better pastry!

 

[PTree15]

I might make some cranberry nut muffins or a bread. I need to use up some cranberries. I also could make cranberry sauce.
