Ohh, I love tofutti ice cream BUT Soy Delicious is the CLOSET I have come to

any non dairy ice cream tasting like REAL ice cream! That stuff is GREAT!

Hey!

Thanks for the tip. I checked the website, and saw a

huge variety of cream " cheeses " , but I didn't see

anything like soy-Mozzarella, or soy-cheddar... Does

anyone know if these kinds of cheese exist in a dairy

free version?? (I'm hooked on quesadillas....)

Thanks! ~ Juli

PS - I LOVE tofutti ice cream! Found that on day

one!! *LOL*

Hey All

Umm I am from Queensland Australia, and so far all I have been able to find

in the way of vegan cheese is this soy cheese made by king land, its

cheddar style and I don't really like it much.. I havent tried to melt it

yet either..

Is anyone here from Australia? and if so do you know of any good vegan

cheeses that you can use on a pizza or on top of a pasta bake? I have a

creamy cheesy style sauce down pat... its just the cheese toppings I need

help with now.. any info would be great

Also does anyone know any web sites where you can order (even if imported)

vegan foods ???

Thanks

Rikki.

I have tried vegan rella and it was...yuck. Tofutti makes slices and t sort

of melts...but quite honestly, it tasts and feels like a cheese flavored

margarine! My son likes it, but it is hydrogenated and not that healthy. I

feel like I might as well give him a stick of margarine to suck on LOL! But

as for taste...it was one of the best I have tried so far...not saying a lot

for Vegan cheese is it??

I don't like any of the truly vegan cheeses! This is where I cheat, I love Veggie Slices (note: not Veggy), they are the best! They actually taste like real cheese and they melt! They do have casein in them, but I think that it is better still than eating dairy cheese, I know, what a poor excuse for a vegan!

Hi Rikki

Absolutely, I ship internationally.

Are you refering to Dr. McDougall's food or something else?

I get dizzy too and I'm not sure why. I've been looking into it.

Do you take supplements?

i just opened a package of vegan rella tonight the mozzarella flavor and it

wasnt THAT bad!! I think it might work on pizza if not gobbed on! Like a

nice thick crust baked on a pan with lots of olive oil. a nice maranara

sauce and that cheese. I am going to try it. I will put veggies on half for

us and leave half plain for the kiddos

I havent tried that brand you mentioned yet though

There's a link on this page for Vegan Cheeses. I've never

tried any of them before, so it's all new to me. I just

happened to have seen an ad in my grocer's " " Delicious

Living " magazine.

Has anyone tried the Vegan cheese before? Is so, how

was it? I'm a HUGE cheese lover and I'm having a hard

time giving it up.

Yes, yes some of them do. This particular line by Galaxy is casinate free,

it's 100% Vegan. I was at the grocery store yesterday,

picking up a couple of things and decided to see if they had some of the

Vegan Cheese. They did and I came

home and made a grilled cheese sandwich with it. It melted great. Tastes

a little powdery, but pretty good.

Hi I am new to the group but have been a vegan for 5 years I would

like to respond to the " cheese " question. There are a few options,

although there are not a lot of choices of good vegan cheeses

however, there is book called " The uncheese cookbook " that you can

make yourself but, my recommendation is Give Up The Cheese. Remember

being a vegan is adventureous and trying and learning to like new

foods and even giving up the bad no matter how tasty they use to be

are part of the adventure. Cheese is one of the worst foods one can

eat so do yourself a favor and join the adventure.

June 12, 2001

My husband and I have decided that vegan cheese is ok if you eat it in

combination with other goodies and without highlighting it. I have been a

real chicken (pardon the pun) about trying a lot of the " fake " vegan

products out there, especially the vegan " cheeses. " But recently we tried

the veganrella " mozzerella " in a fabulous manicotti recipie-- it was very

good mixed with extra firm tofu, fresh spinach and basil. (If anyone wants

the recipie, I'd be happy to send it along!) We didn't use much of it, but

it did add a little dimension to the dish without tasting... well... like

vegan cheese! I have only tried eating slices on a sandwich or melted on a

pizza a couple of times-- I have to agree that the experience was not

pleasant. I think the problem is that when you eat it like one typically

eats dairy cheese, you kind of expect it to taste like dairy cheese and,

well, it doesn't. Don't take my word for it though, definitely try some out

for yourself (I know people who love it!) before you decide. I've seen

Tofutti slices, Veganrella slices and serveral more at my grocery. Good

luck!
