Italian DVD
People who avoid gluten, whey, casein, lactose and cholesterol may feel
Italian food is a thing of the past since it is primarily made with wheat pasta
and laden with cheese. This DVD will show how to make several vegetarian Italian
meals from an herbed breadstick to elegant lasagna with no dairy, no cholesterol
and no gluten. You'll learn how to cook with alternative ingredients and
practice several techniques that will help you improve your cooking skills such
as brazing, baking bread, making a cream sauce, tomato sauce and "cheese"
toppings out of nuts, roasting nuts, and making a soup stock. Your friends and
family will be impressed with the variety of tastes, sauces and textures.
This DVD is a pleasing culinary alternative for people with dermatitis
herpetiformis, Autism, IBS, Crohn's disease, cardiovascular disease and for
breast-feeding women with colicky babies. A gluten-free, dairy-free, low
cholesterol diet has been shown in many medical studies to improve all
of these conditions.

Carbonara Sauce with Braised Brussels Sprouts
Traditionally, carbonara sauce is made with cream, eggs, bacon and peas. We'll show how to make bacon with tempe and a cream sauce with raw cashews. You'll be amazed at the versatility of a cashew, and at how rich and wonderful sauces made from them are! It sounds a little different - but it tastes rich and creamy and is comforting and filling. You'll be proud to serve this elegant dish to company. We'll serve it with braised Brussels sprouts. |

Lasagna
This un-traditional lasagna features several layers - shitake mushrooms and sundried tomatoes, roasted tomatoes with garlic and fresh basil, a "cheese" made of tofu, and a layer of roasted vegetables. It is beautiful to look at and a nice alternative to traditional lasagna. |

Spaghetti and Meatballs
This is another meal most people think they'll never enjoy again when on a dairy-free or gluten free, or low cholesterol diet. Not true! These meatballs are made from a mushroom base. Meat-eating tasters report they thought they were made from meat! The sauce is a homemade cabernet-tomato sauce and the purchased spaghetti is made of rice. The dish is topped with a "parmesan cheese" made from almonds. This is a fun meal to make and one your whole family will enjoy. |

Minestrone and Herbed Breadsticks
The soup is hearty, filling and fresh. It features okra - a natural vegetable thickener. The soup has a comforting array of herbs complimented with vegetables, pasta and beans. You'll learn the slow-cooking method as well as how to make a homemade stock. The herbed breadsticks taste great and are packed with Italian flavor. Wheat-eating tasters report they would never have known anything was "different" about these breadsticks. |
