the “cheese” is freeze dried tofu, cashew butter, corn starch, nutritional yeast, soy milk, and vinegar
i live in nyc so i’m expecting the nypd to break down my door and arrest me for committing a hate crime against the entire Italian diaspora any minute now
I’m not vegan but do you mind a suggestion? Instead of trying to “hack” a substitute for the cheese, you could try a similar recipe that doesn’t use it.
Like focaccia. A well made focaccia is amazing, and you can make it with vegan only toppings: dried tomatoes, mushrooms, sliced and smoked seitan, figs, onions, some rosemary, and coarse salt. And lots of good quality olive oil.
I was never a huge fan of cheese, and cheese substitutes or at least the ones that i tried are so much worse. Some of them taste well enough, but have a consistency that makes my skin crawl. So i just do no cheese and it’s so much better imo.
I’m not vegan but I was at a dinner party once and accidentally picked the vegan cheese platter instead of the normal one. It can’t be that bad, I remember thinking.
It was. I don’t mind vegan food, there’s a lot I like, but I think they would’ve been better off making something different instead of trying to imitate cheese.
focaccia has been on my to-make list for a while
I’m also not vegan lol
