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.
Dude I’m going to the Italian bakery tomorrow just for their foccacia
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.
I’ve had some truly terrible vegan “cheese” (even some that was worse than the above tofu abomination) but also some really decent ones. Are they worth trying if you’re not hilariously lactose intolerant or vegan? No. lol
focaccia has been on my to-make list for a while
I’m also not vegan lol
