Tastes Like Bacon (aka Susan Snipes) first started a serious relationship with food about 10 years ago when she worked at the Cleveland Food Co-op (no longer around). Her boss quizzed the entire staff on all the vegetables in the produce section, and she learned the names of all kinds of crazy things like endive, kohlrabi, and dinosaur kale. Later she figured out what to do with them. These days, Tastes Like Bacon gets into fresh local food, experiments with ingredients and cooks as frequently as possible. She has experienced bacon in a variety of fashions including bacon popcorn (not so good) and bacon infused salt (tasty on any potato product). You'll see that many of the dishes Tastes Like Bacon, don't actually have anything to do with bacon, and are tagged dairy-free. She has a sensitivity to dairy products and has found plenty of ways to re-work dishes into tasty alternatives instead of the standard call for milk, cheese, butter or yogurt. If you're dairy, wheat or corn intolerant, check out her recipes, she highlights a great number of yummy traditional meals and new treats without those pesky ingredients.
