The art of making vegan cheese

One of the biggest food hurdles for those transitioning from a vegetarian or omnivore diet to a strictly vegan lifestyle is the elimination of cheeses made from dairy. It's the perception of many, that cheeses made from vegan alternatives can not match the flavor and texture of the true milk or cream-based versions.

Cookbook author Miyoko Schinner may have knocked down that hurdle with the publication of her book Artisan Vegan Cheese. Her large variety of recipes have been tested by both vegans who happily welcome the new options, and non-vegans who taste the creations with pleasure and surpise.

Schinner's cheeses are mostly nut-based and range from hard, aged cheddars to creamy chevs and meltable jack. The base ingredients for many of her recipes are similar, and can be store-bought or homemade. Once these ingredients are in hand, the cheeses can be made with little time and effort.
