Hi Guys
Got the Vegan Boulangerie book, tried to give a few recipes a go and they taste cool. I havent had any luck at all though with the puff pastry to make Mille Feuille (Cream Slice). I have an intolerance to rapeseed oil and tons of the vegan margarines have them in. Ive found that Biona Organic do one without rapeseed and also Pure which can be bought out of the larger supermarkets. Dont know if intolerance to Rapeseed oil is normal but I have to diligently avoid anything which labels only "Vegetable Oil" or have to phone each company up before I eat their products. Such a chore..
Does anyone know of a good vegan margarine/shortening which is quite stiff in order to make puff pastry? Its nearly impossible to make it with normal vegan margarines as they always melt way too fast. I have seen a vegan brand of shortening called "Trex" but dont know what oils are in it.. suppose another call to another company is in order unless I get an answer from someone here.
Cheers
P.S I have also contacted the puff pastry manufacturer "Just Rol" to see if they used rapeseed oil.. and they do
