And another sight it said use ( Orville redenbacher popcorn oil) I couldn't find that so I used earth balance butter. I think that ingredient helped a lot. I really want to try it with tahini and the rejuvalec. I think with these ingredients u will get a kick ass cheese. Ps I didn't add liquid smoke yet but I did try some. I also used way more nutritional yeast. Another recipe called for 1/2 cup I def used like 1 cup. Lol. I'm new to trying to be vegan. So this recipe was a great base. As well as all ur other ones.

It will change the flavor, though. But I do think that adding a little extra tahini would help. Adding a little more coconut oil and a few drops of lemon juice will probably help as well. Let me know if you try it! I've been meaning to create another version of this recipe, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe I'll try one without the yeast too. butyesidoeatpotatoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022569411287133485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282724927783775223.post-439152817556786042013-05-25T08:57:16.025-04:002013-05-25T08:57:16.025-04:00If the cheese looks half as good as it looks, i...If the cheese looks half as good as it looks, i'm sure it's super delicious.

Though it is pretty easy to make once you get the hang of it, certain variables can affect the way it turns out (humidity, failure to boil and mix the agar correctly, failure to let it sit or refrigerate it long enough, etc.)I'm going to make this sometime this week or next week and possibly revamp it with more explanation. I'm sorry that it did not turn out the way it should have!butyesidoeatpotatoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022569411287133485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282724927783775223.post-21921852215088875812013-05-10T12:33:02.581-04:002013-05-10T12:33:02.581-04:00I made this yesterday.

Right now, a few of us on Google+ are actually trying out recipes for a vegan cheese with a sharper, cheesier flavor. We're reporting back to each other on it this week, so I will let you know the results. :) I know a lot of them are using recipes from the cookbook Artisan Vegan Cheese. It's supposed to have some really good recipes, but I think most of them use rejuvelac (which gives it that distinct flavor). butyesidoeatpotatoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022569411287133485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282724927783775223.post-69926322130172324792013-02-13T16:27:28.516-05:002013-02-13T16:27:28.516-05:00I was disappointed that this didn't have more ...I was disappointed that this didn't have more flavor, I did add an extra tablespoon of nutritional yeast, not knowing what to expect but knowing that I like the flavor, and still it didn't seem to have much flavor.
