Do you have a favorite vegan cheese recipe? What type of cheese does it make, like a cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan...?I might have a quesadilla with the leftovers from yesterday's lunch with my sister and cousin if I get around to making some vegan cheese. If not, I might do Cheap Lazy Vegan's rice paper sushi rectangles.
This is only the second time I have made it, and it came out better taste-wise this time. It's a basic cheese recipe, so no specific flavor. It's tangy, though, and I like it. This is the recipe I used, but I skipped the carrot (added too much sweetness to it) and used refined coconut oil. I detest coconut, and the unrefined oil called for in the recipe left a slight coconut flavor. It wasn't horrible, but the refined is much better, much more neutral. It's cashew-based, and it slices, even though I'd classify as a soft cheese. The agar agar powder really helps bind it, along with coconut oil. It also shreds, though it doesn't melt into one glob, say, like on a pizza. But it does melt. And it spreads.Do you have a favorite vegan cheese recipe?

Do you get the organic, raw cashews from Costco? They're such a deal, I check every time I'm there!This is only the second time I have made it, and it came out better taste-wise this time.

I usually have Maris Piper potatoes. I do sometimes just buy what we call here baking potatoes which are for the oven.
I, uuhhh.... tend to buy whatever variety is on sale and in good condition. But I love all potatoes: Russet, Red, White, Yellow.... Recently, at the local farmer's market, I actually got blue potatoes!!!! I didn't taste-test the blue ones by eating a bite of one at the same time as a different kind, but I liked them just as much as any other kind. I think the blue color is due to those anthocyanin pigments I've been reading about lately, which would supposedly be good to get more of- but I'd have to check.........btw - I will never buy russet potatoes again - finally finished a 10lb bag and find they are just so dense that they are not easy to cook and I love to leave the skins on potatoes and they are just so tough.... I usually buy white or red potatoes however I now have a bag of yellow potatoes and I had a few of them in with the last of russets last night - they were sooooo much better and I wished I had done more of them
what kind of potatoes do most of you prefer?

That is so interesting! I've always preferred russets for everything, but every now and then will try reds or yellow. I just bought Yukon Golds and had them mashed. I hated them! I liked that I could leave the skins on, which I don't with mashed russets, but they had a sweetness I couldn't get past. Also had the texture I don't likeyesterday afternoon I watched Gaz Oakley make sauerkraut and it made my mouth water and so for dinner we had Italian Field Roast sausage on a bun with lots of sauerkraut - baked potatoes on the side and some nuts and choc chips for dessert

Dr Greger highly approves of the blue/purple potatoes! He doesn't even recommend regular ones, just the purple/blue and sweet potatoesI, uuhhh.... tend to buy whatever variety is on sale and in good condition.

I bake Russetts, but boil/steam the other kinds. I eat the peels of all of them.
