Cheese vegan CHEESE! The slayer of Vegans

Cheese has killed more vegans than any other food product. It is the public enemy nr 1 to the vegan community. And yeah, i have had my share of moments, when my spirit was running low, and i felt the devil calling for me from cheese-land. But i never got around to it, and this year i'm celebrating 10 years of being vegan. (There's gonna be a big party this summer where everyone's welcome to come celebrating the awsomeness of vegan food).

So i was amazed when i early this year read about the fantastic cookbook The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook on the Australian blog The Tropical Vegan. I bought it right away and since one month back we've experimented with blocks of uncheese, uncheese spreads and uncheese sauces.


I really like the book and it's recipes. One draw back is that all the ones that we've tried so far tastes pretty much the same. More or less. But i guess that's where the cook inside me should step up and improvise the missing part to make each uncheese a perfect creation. I strongly recommand all ya'll to get the cookbook, it's a lot of fun and i would like to see you bloggers and readers out there taking the uncheeses to the next level.


This is Dry Uncheese Mix in the making. I love this one, it's not from the book though, but the only picture of uncheese i got so far. It very simple to make and you can sprinkle the powder on your food, or heat it with milk or water to make a sauce, or mix it with soygurt to make a dip. I found the recipe here.

I'm glad you got the book! We've found the same thing--the recipes are all the same, with different variations and amounts of ingredients. What we do is figure out the qualities we like best and incorporate those into the rest of the recipes--our favourite ingredient is ketchup/tomato sauce.

Also, have you tried the dessert section? The granola nut pie crust is good enough to eat on its own!

Cheese cake till I die! For the US fanatics, Instant Jello Cheesecake mix is vegan, use soy milk!

I got that book for xmas but haven't tried any of the recipes yet.

What are your recipe recommendations?

UndergroundCooking said...

I think you should try making one of the block cheeses 'cause they're fun making. But even thou the picture of the block cheese with olives in it looks fantastic, skip the olives, it's a bad idea if you wanna use a cheese slicer.

or try a the gee wiss cheese spread, it's good. and so easy to make.

Using agar scares me, and some of the recipes don't use it.

Have you tried any of the agar recipes?

UndergroundCooking said...

Don't be scared of the agar, she's a friend, and she's easy to work with.

We've tried the swizz cheez and the montery jack cheez. They both taste pretty much the same to me. Slowly boil the agar in water or soymilk, for about 15 minutes, then mix it in a blender for a few minutes together with the rest of the ingredients. It's easy.

No more excuse, just do it! :)

I love this book but I agree with you, some of the recipes are a little too alike when it comes to taste with the end result. as long as it's tasty, right?
