I just finished reading all of the above blogs and so happy to find out that you're now offering wheat-free gluten -free products. I too have to substitute and now use Almond Drink or Rice drink and Earth Balance,vegan buttery sticks , However, I was wondering, if Goat cheese would be an acceptable substitute in place of Parmesan, Romano, And, I'm not sure about the Asiago cheese for the Brazilian Cheese Buns. Also, I would like to know more about the Emulsifer you are featuring this month. Can it be used in place of the Xanthangum ? I'm not sure whether I've spelled these words correctly. Thanks again for your wonderful recipes and new items for health-conscious bakers. Hi Liz - Sure, try the goat cheese - not sure how its flavor would come through, as it contains more liquid and thus isn't as strong as the harder grating cheeses, but it's worth a try. As for the emulsifier - if you mean the cake enhancer, no, you can't substitute that for the xanthan gum - they don't perform the same function. PJH
