I have always liked jellies and as kids we had our famous cherry "red aspic" for holidays. Since I became a vegetarian, I have been reluctant to try anything with gelatin since it is obtained from animal flesh. Many folks do not know this fact and I am surprised that even some vegetarian restaurants serve it, and when asked what that was, they would just simply answer :"jelly". Well, there are alternatives there: Agar is a red algae and a unique vegetable source protein. I purchased it through Amazon.com, and it worked perfect for the jelly topping I made for my blueberry cheesecake.
Hey there! Just stumbled upon your blog. You have a beautiful blog I must say. For quiet sometime now, I have been trying to make vegetarian dishes more than I ever did. Which can be pretty difficult for non vegetarians like us. Blogs like yours inspire to do better :).
I love anything cheesecake and this looks scrumptious! I always have agar agar. Even though we use gelatin, I like the consistency and texture of agar agar better.I often use it to top most of my trifles with colorful agar agar. Its lovely to chew on.
