vegan cheese

Vegan cheese is a category of non-dairy, plant-based cheeses and cheese analogues. Vegan cheeses range from soft fresh cheeses to aged and cultured hard grateable cheeses like plant-based Parmesan. The defining characteristic of vegan cheese is the exclusion of all animal products.Vegan cheese can be made from various plant proteins and fats. As with plant milk, vegan cheese can be made from seeds, such as sesame and sunflower; nuts, such as cashew, pine nut, and almond; and soybeans, peanuts, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, tapioca, and rice, among other ingredients. Vegan cheese is cholesterol-free and may be a good source of protein.

    Recipe My Vegan Cheese Sauce

    This recipe takes longer to get everything out or even read, than it actually does to make, if you are not needing to soak your cashew nuts. If you use blanched almonds you will very definitely need to soak your nuts. It is also good with macadamia nuts as well. I've adapted this from Julie...

    Recipe (Vegan) Baked Almond Nut Cheese (Feta Style) - revisited

    Having made my original version several times now, I have revised the recipe and method to suit our tastes (less salt) and equipment(dehydrator and a temperamental even thats really good at burning the bottom of everything). You will still need to plan ahead with this vegan cheese. You need to...

    Recipe (Vegan) Tofu, Cashew Nut & Coconut Oil Herbed Boursin

    I have to say that I had my reservations about this cheese. I've made things in the past that used tofu and they were miserable failures. if you've ever just been served a slab of tofu, warmed slightly with no attempt made to do anything with it, not even drain it properly then you'll...

    Recipe (Vegan) Baked Almond Nut Cheese (Feta Style)

    I have to say that this is the first cheese that I've made using almond nuts and I rather like it. The cheese is meant to be similar to a feta and in some ways I guess it is but I personally won't user the word feta to describe it. It does, however, have a really nice clean taste to it. It...

    Recipe Vegan (Red) Cheddar Cheeze

    This is a bit of an experiment. Whatever the outcome, it is very tasty and hot out of the saucepan would make for an excellent melted red cheddar. The question that remains to be seen is how hard it sets and if it will melt again afterwards. Assuming there's any left, I'll let you know. Now...
