Question by Mojo4all: Help please, my recipe calls for fromage fois but I can’t find it in the dairy section?
I’m trying a new recipe it’s for a pumpkin and courgette sort of stew with basil, ginger, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pasta shells. I know that fromage fois is cheese but what kind? If my local market doesn’t have it, whats a good substitute?
Edit: It was indeed fromage frais, not fromage fois, I was misreading the tiny little handwriting.

Fromage is cheese
Fois is new, or relates to time
Maybe any fresh cheese?
I couldn’t find a specific cheese when I googled it

Damn, this is the hottest female chef I’ve ever seen on Youtube.
You need to show how much onion you used. Otherwise great video!!
you have a wonderful kitchen!
try in some international store or wal-mart
You can subsitute with ricotta; or make a half and half blend of cottage cheese and plain yoghurt or use a Greek styled yoghurt (it’s very thick because the whey is drained).
You can use sour cream instead.
You can’t find it in the dairy section because fois is referring to time, as in fresh cheese, but not a specific type of cheese like cheddar or swiss. Whatever french-made cheese would taste the best with basil, ginger, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pasta shells is beyond me, but I’m no chef either. If all else fails, there’s nothing wrong with ye good ole cheddar cheese!
The recipe sounds delish, btw.
You might try using fresh mozzarella…it is soft, unripened cheese and not aged like common mozzarella. It would also be great with your ingredients–tomatoes, pasta, etc. Are you sure the recipe didn’t mean to say “fromage frais” (fresh cheese) which is also a soft, unripened white cheese originating in France?
What is fromage frais? It is a fresh white cheese, unavailable in all but the most special of specialty shops in the United States. It is a creamy soft cheese made with whole or skimmed milk and cream. In Europe, it is available plain or flavored with fruit or with herbs and spices. It has the consistency of a cream cheese but with fewer calories and less cholesterol.
Substitute low-fat cream cheese in the recipe (but please, not nonfat cream cheese, which we are sure is one of the 10 worst food products of the last 10,000 years).
