    What vegan cheese would you recommend? I’m only 90% vegetarian, not vegan, but I’m lactose intolerant so have to buy non-dairy cheese. Many of my dishes end up being vegan because of that.

    I used to use Daiya, but unless it’s fully melted, the texture is all weird (and it’s kind of glue-y). Then I switched to the Simple Truth (not sure if store brand or big brand) and it’s been much better.

    As a cheese lover who cannot eat it, I’m always on the lookout for the next next best thing.

      chao, miyoko, and violife are usually the best. I don’t have a favorite yet, but making your own cheese is easy: soak cashews, grind them up, mix in seasonings & refrigerate. alternatively silken tofu or plant milk can be boiled to make cheese as well
