Dear Jewish vegan cooks, help! I'm looking for a vegan noodle kugel recipe that's "dairy-style" (creamy) but soy-free. All the vegan versions I've found rely heavily on tofu, soy yogurt, Tofutti sour cream, etc. I was hoping to use homemade cashew cheese, almond sour cream, and so forth. If I need to I can veganize a recipe but it's always nice ( Read more... )

I made gluten free vegan nachos for tea last night :) as well as the bean mix I made the corn chips, the 'cheese' and the sour 'cream' myself :)

I was never a big cheese fan even before I cut dairy out of my diet, but one of the few cheeses I really miss is Gruyère.

I recently made a big tub of cashew 'cheese'. Does anyone know how long this stuff keeps for? Should I be trying to freeze some of it?

anyone here like grilled cheese? what's my best option for "cheese"? i have tried one of the presliced kinds(god help me if i can remember the name) but it was too runny when it melted - didn't work very well. i tried looking at the tags but didn't come up with much. thanks!

I can't find any non-hydrogenated shortening where I live and wonder if I can use vegan butter in a recipe that calls shortening.
I could use hydrogenated shortening, but I am just too grossed out by the thought of it.

Also, is there a substitute for vegan parmesan?

I'm not a big fan of nutritional yeast or tofu, so I was thrilled to find this pasta casserole recipe in VegNews. It's creamy and savory and orangey-yellow (yay carotene) and delicious. My omni husband, who thinks vegan food is bland and boring, tasted it and said, "Wow, that has serious flavor! I'm impressed!" Well, yes, the recipe calls for onion ( Read more... )

Hi everybody ( Read more... )

I've perused some of the memories for something like this, but couldn't find any homemade cheese recipes without cashews!

I could, of course, buy the soy and rice cheeses, but I also want to get into the habit of making my own vegan cheese. Unfortunately, pretty much all recipes I've come across call for cashews -- I guess it lends to that nutty ( Read more... )
