Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

I just bought a new cookbook called 1000 Vegan Recipes by Robin Robertson. I haven't had time to try out any of the recipes yet, but it looks good. She credits Dr. McDougall and Dr. Baranard for encouraging people to eat healthy vegan meals. Some of her recipes do include oil and vegan margarine, but many are McDougall friendly.

Thanks, I'll have a look for it.

I have several cookbooks by Robin Robertson and I'm always happy to hear she has another one out.

*toodles off to Amazon to have a look*

I have Robin Robertson's Vegan Fire and Spice, and it is great! Virtually all of the recipes work by simply removing the oil. There are a few that use richer ingredients such as tofu, tempeh, seitan or coconut milk, but they can often be modified, or saved for special occasions. If you like spicy, this is it!

Honorable Mention:
Donna Klein's Tropical Vegan, even better that her Mediterranean cookbooks since there is less insitence on olive oil.

I just came across this post, and I realize it's pretty old, but also, very timely!

I just bought 1000 Vegan Recipes about a month ago, and I started a blog on how I am McDougallizing the recipes. I've only tested 18 so far, this will definitely be a long term project, but a very fun one!

I already mentioned this in another post on the lounge so this information isn't new - just thought I would repost it here since I found the thread on this specific book.

Thank you eaufraiche! I appreciate that!

Hehe, yes, my husband is enjoying this culinary adventure for the most part, but I think he might be getting tired of hearing me say "Don't eat that yet - I have to take a picture!"

love your blog and I also have that book! I need to start cooking something! Was wondering about the crockpot seitan pot roast...have you tried that one yet?

Thanks Nancy!
No, I have not yet tried the seitan pot roast, but I've had my eye on it!

what did you think of the sour cream?
I made the mistake of buying some store bought Saba original hummus and Ed loves it....now i have to figure out how to get that taste without oil...and yes, I use 1T of tahini in mine.....

Aloha Becky

What a great blog. I have bookmarked it. Your vegan mayonnaise sounds delicious.

Mahalo, love patty

I liked the sour cream! It is very close to the recipe I've been using for a while now. At first the tahini flavor seemed prominent, but as it sat for a while it mellowed out.

Yeah, I know that Saba hummus, it is just TOO good! And darned expensive - and it has oil, so it has to be off my list altogether!

Hi Patty! Thanks for checking out my blog, I appreciate it! It is a great mayo - if you end up getting the book, you have to try it. One of the recipes so far I haven't had to alter to make it McDougall compliant, too!
