Are there any delicious vegan alternatives to real cheese? I'm looking for something that I could make macaroni and cheese with as well as a cheese to put on sandwiches, pizza's etc.
What is nutritional yeast?



Answer
Nutritional yeast (is yeast) that can add a kind of, sort of, cheesy top note to a dish. It has actual health benefits, too.

I have made the recipe (or a version of it) that Karl was generous enough to post. It's pretty good, but by no means does it prefectly replicate traditional mac & cheese (nor should anyone expect it to). Even cutting the recipe in half, it was way too much food for me. I'd 1/4 it or even 1/6 it, if I made it again. But I doubt I would because I like the Amy's Rice Pasta & Cheeze frozen prepared meals...and they're just so much easier. http://www.amys.com/products/images/400/00043.jpg ...if I want a cheese-y fix. :-)

Myself, I have not found an excellent vegan cheese alternative, and most cheese you'll find in groceries stores or sold in restaurants or from pizza places is not even vegetarian. (Most cheese is made with rennet, which is obtained from the stomach lining of slaughtered cavles, and sometimes from pigs. More and more vegetarian cheeses, made with microbial enzymes, are coming on the market.)

I do like the Daiya cheese I buy through VeganEssentials.com. It's very cheese-like. But as much as I liked cheese before I became vegan, I gotta say, it just isn't very healthy for you. You're adding on all these extra calories, in the form of fat. (Even with vegan cheese.) For me, anyway, that's a bit of a turn off.

If you do more cooking and/or try more/different kinds of foods, your palate will broaden, and you'll crave other tastes besides plain, ol' milk fat. When my husband and I eat out, it's the United Nations of food choices. We like Indian, Thai, Hakka, Vietnamese, Japanese (especially the ancient vegan Shojin cuisine), and middle-eastern, which all have vegan options readily available...no cheese required. :-) Try finding a pizza place that has a vegan crust and sauce (many do), and just get vegetables and/or pinapple on it. (Some of my local places offer vegan pepperoni, as an option, too.) You might just find that you both like the taste of vegan pizza, and are comforted to know it adheres to other principles you cherish (such as not supporting animal cruelty).

Good luck!
