vegan cheese: Hi. I am a vegetaria and thinking about going vegan. My mom and I got back from Whole Foods a couple of minutes ago, we bought nutritional yeast. > Do you know any good vegan cheese recipes for nutritional yeast?????? (easy enough for an early teen and a mom to do together??) > Also, do you like oat milk? we just bought that too. Thanx!!!!=]|||You can try stirring some into breakfast tofu, you can have a scrambled eggs alternative by crumbling firm tofu into an oiled pan with some veggies and a spoonful of nutritional yeast and some salt, pepper and other spices. It works well with casseroles too... sometimes I slice potatoes on a mandolin (which is just a way to get thin even slices that are like those Betty Crocker potato slices). I line an oiled glass baking pan with veggies and potatoes and I make a creamy sauce out of soy creamer or silken tofu and lots of spices and good stuff tossed in. I'd suggest looking up some casserole recipes. If you make a vegan pizza (just dough with sauce and veggies, typically), you can try sprinkling nutritional yeast on top. It's not going to be exactly like Parmesan but it's good.|||I bought some nutritional yeast. =] Report Abuse |||Edit...added some macaroni and cheese recipes...

Now, nutritional yeast I have had. A lot. I would highly recommend the Uncheese cookbook... http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Uncheese-鈥?/a> I actually really like nut. yeast. on popcorn with a little margarine and popcorn salt. But for saucy items, I usually eat it as Yeese sauce (that's what we call it) or as a sandwich spread for "Grilled Yeese". General nutritional yeast advice: If you want something slightly sharper (more cheddar like) add a little bit of lemon juice. Be judicious though so you don't overdo it. I'd recommend the powder over the flakes, because the finer pieces make it easier to work with for smooth sauces. Here is the "Mac and Cheese" from Vegan Outreach. Do NOT expect it to taste like regular mac and cheese. But it does fill the same craving! Mac & "Cheese" Have ready 3 1/2 C (dry) elbow macaroni, cooked Sauce * 1/2 C vegan margarine * 1/2 C flour * 3 1/2 C boiling water * 2 T soy sauce (or Bragg's Liquid Aminos) * 1 1/2 tsp salt * 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or crushed fresh garlic) * pinch of turmeric * 1/4 C vegetable oil * 1 C nutritional yeast flakes * paprika (optional) Preheat oven to 350 F. In a saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Beat in flour with a wire whisk (or fork) and continue to beat over medium heat until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Whip in boiling water, soy sauce, salt, garlic powder, and turmeric, beating well. Cook the sauce until it thickens and bubbles; then whip in the oil and nutritional yeast flakes. Mix part of the sauce with the noodles and put in casserole dish. Then pour a generous amount of the sauce on top. Sprinkle with paprika, and bake for 15 minutes. Then put under broiler for a few minutes until top is crisp. ......................................鈥?br> THIS is my all-time favorite Mac and Cheese recipe... I usually use more nutritional yeast than it asks for though: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Vegan-Mac-a鈥?/a> INGREDIENTS * 1 (8 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * 1 medium onion, chopped * 1 cup cashews * 1/3 cup lemon juice * 1 1/3 cups water * salt to taste * 1/3 cup canola oil * 4 ounces roasted red peppers, drained * 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast * 1 teaspoon garlic powder * 1 teaspoon onion powder DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Transfer to a medium baking dish. 3. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender and lightly browned. Gently mix with the macaroni. 4. In a blender or food processor, mix cashews, lemon juice, water, and salt. Gradually blend in canola oil, roasted red peppers, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth. Thoroughly mix with the macaroni and onions. 5. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving. ......................................鈥?br> I wanted to show you the grilled cheese recipe I was thinking of but can't find it. This one might do though: (I'd suggest adding a little bit of lemon juice) http://www.godairyfree.org/Recipes/Sandw鈥?/a>|||1 陆 tbsp. yeast flakes 3 tbsp. flour 3 tbsp. margarine 150-200 ml soymilk 陆鈥?1 tsp. salt 1 鈥?1 陆 tsp. mustard herbs or spices to taste A good substitute for cheese sauce, also for pizzas and other dishes where a cheese topping is required|||If you're just now thinking about going vegan, I suggest you wait a while for your taste buds to change before trying to imitate cheese. You'll be hardpressed to find a vegan cheese recipe that tastes like cheese. Instead, learn to substitute things. Use guacamole or tofutti sour supreme for the creamy texture you used to get from cheese. I don't think I've ever had oat milk. I rarely use milks but when I do, it's usually rice.
