Instructions: * 1) Who knows? What are yeast flakes? does it taste better than that amino
* liquid ?

Nutritional yeast flakes, which are often used as a replacement in cheese-style sauces. I love them on popcorn or pasta!

(I also recently posted about a product called Macaroni and chReese: the sauce is based on nutritional yeast. Its surprisingly good.)

Beware that you dont confuse these (as many do) with brewers yeast. Even HFS will sometimes say they are the same thing -but they are not!

Brewers yeast is yucky to taste, and nutritional yeast is mild and slightly salty.

As for amino liquids, I often use them in lieu of soy sauce. They are great sprayed on salads and popcorn. And on veggies and potatoes, I use them instead of salt.

* Cheese, cottage : tofu, crumbled

Well, Ive used tofu instead of ricotta cheese. And since cottage cheese is often a sub for ricotta, I guess Ive come full circle. :-)

I also use tofu instead of yogurt or mayonnaise in dips, salad dressings, smoothies, and spreads. Sometimes Ill add some vinegar or lemon juice to simulate the tanginess of the yogurt.

* Flesh foods : tofu, tempeh, legumes

Lets dont forget TVP modules here! I especially like the "ready made"

tvp products: Gimme Lean (the sausage flavor is wonderful!) and the Green Giant and Morningstar "crumbles" (a pre-browned ground beef substitute).

I also like to freeze tofu and then use it in stir-fries or sauces (ie, pasta sauce). It has a meaty, chewy texture after being frozen.

Pressed, then marinated, and either baked or broiled tofu also has a dense chewy texture that make a good substitute for meat. Its particularly good in sandwiches, sauces, stir fries, and on salads.

* Milk : soy milk, nut and seed milks, oat milk, rice milk

We use soy milk all the time now. I keep a variety on hand as some have a milder soy flavor than others. I also like the sweetened varieties for smoothies and desserts, but prefer the plain soy-and-water products for savory dishes such as gravies, etc. [Ellen C. (ellen@elekta.com)]

(( Eggs, protein : tofu plus a pinch of turmeric (optional color)

Flesh foods : tofu, tempeh, legumes

Milk : soy milk, nut and seed milks, oat milk, rice milk

I use tofu to replace eggs in egg salad. By adding the turmeric, you get that nice yellow color just like normal egg salad. Most people dont know theyre not eating eggs.

To replace meat (flesh) I really like Gimme Lean (TVP) The sausage flavor is awesome. and finally, soy milk is wonderful. I was hesitant to try it, but at a friends urging I did. Now, I wouldnt drink cows milk again for anything. I make sure I get the brand with Calcium in it.
