Simply delicious! I switched orange juice with grape juice and the result was less sweet, which was what I was going for.
Too many of your recipes contain animals products: milk, cheese, butters, etc. also oils, refined sugars and flours. These are not healthy products.
At least offer the healthy substitutions as options. Science has proven the above to be part of the SAD (Standard American Diet) that is the cause of the major diseases in the western world and any of the other countries that are eating such. Thank you
i agree with Barbara,
many recipes with refined flours and sugar and so forth can be found any where.
continued- as a vegetarian magazine, I was hoping to find more alternatives for these common ingredients.
Also I was hoping to find the methods to use the more healthful alternatives.
If you look at the nutritional information provided with Vegetarian Times recipes it's clear that most of them use ingredients like refined sugar, flour, milk, cheese, butter and oil quite in moderation.
The problem with the SAD is not the presence of these foods but the excessive consumption of them.
None of the foods are harmful in and of themselves unless one is allegric to them. With prudent use and portion control all can be part of a healthy, nutritious diet. Ask your physician or registered dietian.
If you look on the menu bar at the right, there is a Substitution Guide under Resources. There you can find alternative substitutes for an ingredient(s) if you wish to make a dish vegan (along with other options).
