brie cheese and attn:ohio, kent, and WV Vegans

[Guest guest]

I am posting for two reasons.

 

1) an invitation

2) a recipe

 

 

I want to invite all Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky vegans, and

vegetarians on their way to veganism, to join the Ohio Vegans Meeting

EGroup at:

 

ohiovegansmeeting

 

Description:

This list is for Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky vegans, or

vegetarians on their way to becoming vegan, who are interested in

starting a vegan group. My goal for the group is to meet several

times a year, if not monthly, for dinners, potlucks, recipe sharing,

etc.. It may take some time to get the group going so please be

patient.

 

 

I hope everyone in the area will join. We could end up with a great

group!

 

THE RECIPE

 

Brie Cheese

 

This is a pretty good recipe for vegan cheese. It slices too! I got

it from a message board:

 

1 1/2 C water

2 T agar agar(seaweed flakes)

1/2 C finely ground cashews

1/2 C firm tofu, crumbled

1/4 C Nutritional Yeast Flakes

1/4 C lemon juice

2 T tahini

1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon dill seed or dill weed

2 T wheat germ (optional)

 

Place water and agar agar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

reduce heat and simmer five minutes. Place the mixture immediately

into a blender with remaining ingredients (except wheat germ) and

process until completely smooth.

 

Pour immediately into a 2 1/2 cup round dish or pie plate that has

been lightly oiled and dusted with wheat germ, if desired. Cool.

Cover and Chill.
