Tofu Mayonnaise
"I admit to little knowledge of vegetarian foods & cooking, but this past X-mas DH & I gave food gifts to his family. 1 of his sisters & her family are vegetarian, so I was on a quick learning curve via the net to be certain our gifts were compliant. I did not make this recipe for them, but did save it for poss future use, was surprised to not find it here on RZ & decided to share it w/you. I hope it proves worthy.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
