Anand K. R | | Does anybody knows any gelling agent that isnt based on animal sources? Went and bought a pack of Gelatin but on reading found that it is made from animal bone.
Thanks

Anand K. R | | Was trying to make strawberry cheesecake with all veg ingredients.... actually ended with a pretty good looking one :-) but found out that the gelatin used was a animal product. Private Reply to Anand K. R |

Suman Tripathy | | Well, use gelatine (veg one) or strawberry jelly crystals (veg) or china grass ( but the taste will change a bit ). No other option i can think of, except the baked one but that has eggs ................ Private Reply to Suman Tripathy |
