I just this past week started Nardil and have been reading all I can find about the foods that are OK and not OK to consume. I'm feeling pretty confident about most things at this point, but need to throw a few food questions out there to those who've done this for a long time.
Bona fide Italian food lover here, so the realization of what I might potentially have to live without is sobering. Most specifically, I want to find out which cheeses are really OK despite what's written about "aged" cheeses. I've already decided that I can't live without fresh mozzarella, but from what I've read that's a safe bet anyway.
So some very specific cheese questions to throw out there for your experiences with them:
pesto sauce (contains parmesan cheese as well as pine nuts)?
shaved parmesan or romano cheese on salads?
any cheese other than mozzarella on a pizza?
packaged salad dressings (e.g. vinaigrettes) with grated romano or parmesan cheese in them?
caesar salads/caesar dressing?
cheesecake, or similar desserts with either ricotta or marscapone cheeses in them?
white sauces (e.g. alfredo)?
swiss cheese, especially if mild/pasteurized?
mild provolone cheese in sandwiches?Thanks in advance for helping me understand how much of a dietary 'indiscretion' each of these might constitute.
