It was indescribibly awful. So, I've been sort of gun shy for a while now. I think your post convinced me to give it another go, though, starting with the gooey grilled cheez recipe. Mmm, I love me some quesadillas...TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644211871681782561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-62090681730000225552008-01-11T16:09:00.000+10:002008-01-11T16:09:00.000+10:00I make block uncheeses regularly and I love them! ...I make block uncheeses regularly and I love them! My blender broke a few weeks ago when making it though and I ended up with liquid (but rapidly setting) cheeze all over my kitchen. I cried a lot that night. Now I sadly have to wait to get a new blender before I make some again. It's truly missed in this house though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-80996020202599022892008-01-10T05:52:00.000+10:002008-01-10T05:52:00.000+10:00I was tempted to buy that book when I want to the ...I was tempted to buy that book when I want to the Vegetarian Fest, but I opted for 'Joy of Vegan Baking' instead. Perhaps that book will be next on the long list.<BR/><BR/>I miss grilled cheeses. :( I have made plenty of yummy cheese sauces, but I have yet to try homemade block cheese.

I always feel like I'm eating flavoured plastic, I'd much rather spread something with a dip type consistency than eat plastic (and like you said, they do well when mixed through a dish and melted but then why bother with the agar?). <BR/><BR/>You're right though, some of the sauces are great.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-68615509773705161552008-01-07T12:12:00.000+10:002008-01-07T12:12:00.000+10:00I didn't like the block uncheese from that book at...I didn't like the block uncheese from that book at all.. it was such a bummer.MeloMealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957104951513167524noreply@blogger.com
