Vegan cheese

As I talk to non-vegans about my diet, I often hear "i could never give up cheese".  Twelve years ago, I did not have much of and answer.  The vegan cheese options were limited, at best.  There were a few brands but most did not melt, nor did they taste like cheese.  Now, veganism is easy.  There are so many vegan cheeses that you can take your pick.

As a kid I never liked cheese.  I would eat it on pizza and that was about it.  cold cheese made me sick.  I recall an evening at a sandwich shop with some vegetarian friends, at the time i was only vegetarian.  My friend offered me a bite of his sandwich, I took him up on his offer.  Without realizing it had cheese in the sandwich, I took a big bite only to vomit on the table in the middle of the restaurant seconds later.  Needless to say, I was not quick to jump on the vegan cheese train all these years later.

It was not until a few years ago, while living with Jamie, that she wanted to try some vegan cheeses.  As always with food, I agreed.  I was shocked at how good it was.  Since then, I have experimented with different brands as well as making my own.  Still, I rarely use it but on occasion I mix it up.

Veganism has become so much easier.

Several people asked for the Seitan Steak recipe.  It is posted on right hand side and there is a link here.  Thank you for your interest!
