[Sca-cooks] Cake mix, was Why not just water in Mac and cheese

[Emelyne Wyote]

My vegan friend has a VERY good vegan (no dairy or eggs) coconut pie
recipe if you're interested.  She made it last Thanksgiving, and I
honestly couldn't tell a difference between it and the coconut pie my
grandmother used to make.  She used a graham cracker crust she made from
just a generic recipe using non-dairy margarine.  The pie filling uses
soy milk and also non-dairy margarine, so if there's a soy allergy then
it might not work.  

She also has another using silken tofu, but again, the soy issue.  Let
me know if you'd like the recipes and I can post them or send them to
you.

But of course now they do have "just add water" mixes, as well as the
regular ones. I guess -- no, I *KNOW* -- that "cooking" isn't very
important any more, for a lot of people. (Our local grocery does a
land-office business in pre-prepared meals for two -- main dish, 2 veg,
carb dish and dessert in a paper bag.)

Last night I was at said grocery, and my not-quite-14-year-old daughter
(not the French-class one) was looking at the cake mixes and asked if
she could bake a cake. I said, "Sure. You can do some research (on
non-dairy cakes) and make one from scratch!" She'll do it, too.

And for me, today's project is converting the coconut pie recipe to
non-dairy.
