Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Kevin I don't think there is a substitute that tastes similar. The only vegan cheeses I know are Redwoods Cheezly but they are all based on Cheddar and Mozarella styles, and the Tofutti soft cheese, which is a very mild flavour. Is there something else you could try for a treat like the vegan polony.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 My husband and I also loved cheese before becoming vegan. We love wine, and I know what you mean about having difficulty finding a replacement for cheese. In the end, we reexamined our motivation for going vegan, and held on to those thoughts whenever the desire for cheese came up. We did not try to use the vegan " cheeses " as substitutes, as these just caused disappointment. Instead, we just started avoiding cheese completely. We would not walk by it in the supermarket, and tried to avoid social events where it was served. It only took one month, but the cravings went away completely. There is an actual, physical addition associated with cheese and some other dairy products because of their chemical composition and reaction with the human body chemistry. Like any addiction, cheese can be more successfully " kicked " if you limit your exposure to it while your body adjusts to NOT having this addictive chemical experience. As for the wine, try other popular pairings, such as good bread, perhaps with olive oil, olives, high quality nuts, fresh fruits, dark chocolate, etc. Cheeses add fat and salt to meals, try finding others ways to incorporate these elements, and foods will have a similar appeal. Good luck. ~Faith " The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

These are OK as they go (I use the original soft cheese for a very effective cheesecake), but not a good substitute for hard cheese. Cheezly: Hard cheeses, but mostly rather plastic in flavour. The melting mozzarella is just about OK when grated as a pizza topping, but it's not wonderful. Sheese: Hard and soft cheeses. I've not tried the soft cheeses, but the hard ones are much better than Cheezly tastewise. Still not exactly cheese, but definitely edible. Their medium and mature cheddars are quite reasonable. They do do a blue cheese, but I've not tried it. Their website is http://www.buteisland.com/. Check in your local health food shop, or you can order on line.

Kevin b <<<< I can relate! This was my struggle, too. Here's the bad news: there is no good vegan substitute for cheese, especially the ones you mentioned. There are decent vegan sauces that can be used in place of a cheese sauce, and there are vegan cheez slices that aren't bad on a sandwich. But there isn't anything that can stand alone a vegan cheese. My solution was to change my food so that it wasn't focused on cheese. For instance, the " taco changes " thread we've all been having fun with started out as a recipe for tacos that used guacamole and faux burger crumbles to replace cheese. It's a struggle. I love cheese, and it's only the knowledge of environmental damage done by dairy animals and the harm done to the animals during milk production that turned me away from it. Your own choice may be different. It's great that you're thinking about your food choices. Nice going! Cheers, Trish in Portland, OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Good luck Kevin! When I went vegan I had a hard time with cheese too. It was one of the only things that you could get as a vegetarian at a nice restaurant. I love to eat out with my friends and they all have discriminating tastes. Sometimes I still settle with wine, bread, and olive oil! I also enjoyed pairing wine with good cheese and fruit or something sweet for a treat. Try making some vegan pate', or a good salty pesto on some crusty bread. Stock your pantry with a world tour of olives. Stuff them with raw garlic if you're craving a strong taste. All the vegan cheeses I've tried are crap. I won't eat them anymore. If you find a good one let me know!
