Go for the classics like grapes, figs, apples, pears, olives, artichokes, pickles, cherry tomatoes, or bell pepper. And then something with lots of flavor and aroma like vegan camembert, aged cashew cheese, or cultured macadamia cheese. ![]() ![]() Then choose something harder such as a vegan parmesan, a vegan cheddar, or sliced vegan cheese. Choose something smooth like vegan feta, a soft homemade nut cheese, or cashew mozzarella. If you don’t have a large board, then get creative! Use a salver or tray, a piece of wood, a baking tray, or simply a nice piece of parchment paper on your table.įor a good cheese board choose at least three different types of vegan cheeses. The original recipe is called Sliceable Cashew Cheese and it is from Best Gourmet Recipes from the chefs of Five Loaves Deli and Bakery by Neva Brackett.A wooden board or ceramic plate is always a good choice, whether they are rectangular, circular, or oval. I haven’t tried this yet but the recipe says you can freeze the cheese and then shred it for pizza cheese.Īnother tip from the recipe is for making the cheese to resemble American or cheddar cheese: blend in 1/4 cup pimentos and 1 tsp paprika to the recipe. I made chicken burritos the night I made the cheese and it was really great on them! It really added some nice creaminess and cheesiness to the burritos! I’ll add these changes below in the recipe. It seems as though I can never follow a recipe exactly so I also made some changes as I made it. And there are a few changes I would make based on my first experiment with it. It does contain cashews, so it won’t work for people who are nut-free. The only cheese I have found that is actually free of casein is from Galaxy Foods. The great thing about it is it is free of casein (milk protein), which many of the commercial dairy-free cheeses contain. It is soft but still sliceable and resembles a white, mild cheese like Montery Jack. It is actually very simple and tastes pretty darn good. It seemed like every time I looked at it, it just seemed too complicated but I think that was just a first impression. I found this recipe for sliceable dairy-free cheese a while back on a forum and finally made it the other day. Here is a list of some new and yummy things I made this week: However, if I were to do them again, I would soak the nuts and seeds in these recipes. This was partly due to the recipes not asking me to do this and in part laziness and impatience on my part. I have to admit that I didn’t soak the nuts and seeds in the recipes I tested this week. ![]() ![]() In terms of soaking, you can either soak just long enough to germinate, or longer to sprout (however it’s difficult to sprout some nuts). This process is what releases their enzyme inhibitors and unlocks their full nutritional value. I find though, that seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds can be used in place of nuts in some of these recipes.Īs far as eating raw nuts goes, it is really best to soak them for a varied amount of time, depending upon the nut or seed. The only drawback I find is that they use nuts extensively, which is a common allergen. Many raw recipes work great for people with a lot of food limitations. I was also testing recipes for my menu planners for limited diets free of gluten, grains, dairy, eggs sugar and other common allergens. In part, I was continuing my quest for some travel-friendly treats for my son and decided to try some raw fruit and nut balls, similar to Larabars. For whatever reason, many of the recipes I worked on this week ended up being raw or mostly raw. ![]()
