Ask Dr. Gourmet

I signed up for The Dr. Gourmet Diet Plantoday and do not seem able to get a menu. I requested "vegetarian" and within the list of foods I do not like I listed goat cheese. The menu I received includes an item requiring chicken stock and another includes goat cheese.

How I can get this straightened out?

Dr. Gourmet Says...

With the Vegetarian option all the recipes that the software chooses will work well using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. We have modified recipes to reflect this.

The Vegetarian option in The Dr. Gourmet Diet Plan doesn't yet offer the ability to eliminate ingredients. A good option is selecting an alternative recipe when those that have ingredients you don't like appear. I will note that in most Dr. Gourmet recipes the goat cheese is used in small amounts to add creaminess to the sauces and doesn't actually add much flavor.

Thanks for writing,
