    I’ve heard the best way to to replace cheese (as a vegan or someone going non-diary) is to just not. The vegan cheese substitutes don’t taste good if you are used to dairy and cheese in general doesn’t really provide much nutrition

      Yeah. I tried the vegan cheeses because you have to have cheese on pizza right? (Violife is the only decent tasting one I’ve found here that doesn’t contain carageenan). Then I tried making pizza without cheese and it’s just as good. So now I have cheeseless pizza. The flavour comes from the veg.

      This is actually the route I’ve been inching towards. I’ve started getting my veggie burgers with just veggies and will make a slaw for my tacos and I’ve been missing it less and less. I’m mostly gonna treat it as part of my “vegan junk food” list hopefully going forward.

      But like I’ll still use nooch for like my pesto and such lol. But my pesto recipe is one of those things where you can’t even really tell it’s vegan imo.

      Why not make your own? A simple cashew cheese + nooch, is nutritious and taste good.
