Soy Cheese

[Guest guest]

Greetings ... What is your take on Soy Cheese??? I'm trying to eat

less regular cheese. Any good brands I should purchase next time I

shop at Rainbows.

 

Peace and Blessings

We like to use Veganrella for pizza. I see that it's gotten dissed,

but the key is to shred it and layer it on top of the sauce but below

the toppings so that it doesn't dry out. It definitely melts and

tastes good in combo with everything else on the pizza. Granted, it

is not thick and stringy like real cheese, but it works great for our

purposes.

 

Tofutti slices might have sugar (don't recall off the top of my head,

but a lot of their products do), but if that's not an issue for you,

they are superb for grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

And in case you ever get the urge to, don't eat fake cheese cold and

just by itself--definitely not tasty.

 

have fun,

Sorry if this has been suggested and I haven't seen it

.. . .

 

I adore Joanne Stepaniak's Uncheese Cookbook. The

recipes aren't dirt cheap to make, but they're cheaper

than anything on the shelves. Plus, they are much

closer to a whole foods product than commerical brands

and are lower in fat. One commercial cheeze I'm

really fond of is Soymage's vegan parmesan. It's not

the easiest stuff to find in my experience, but call

around to find it.

This is the one I buy *when* the local HFS has it. I'm a bit annoyed with it

lately, though. I always buy the mozzarella and shred it in the food

processor for use on pizzas. The last 2 packages that I bought were so

watery, that when I shred it, some of it would just goo right up instead of,

well, shred.

 

I think the next time I buy it I'll do the tofu trick first of wrapping it

in paper towels and pressing it an hour or so to dry/firm a bit.

 

When I need a mozz. cheese and I, and the HFS, are out, I use Road's End

powdered Mozzarella chReese. Just an ounce of water to reconstitute it and

it pours right on the pizza with no problems. I buy it by the bulk bag from

The Mail Order Catalog (http://www.healthy-eating.com ) so it comes out a

bit cheaper and just keep it in the refrigerator.

That's too bad, since they advertise how " shreddable " it is!
