vegan cheese: My twins have a dairy allergy & my husband is lactose intolerant. So it seems we're switching from our vegetarian diet to a vegan diet. The whole family loves cheese though. We've found ways to make "cottage cheese" & "mac & cheese" but we still don't have any sandwich or pizza cheese. We mainly need a recipe for "block" cheeses such as mozzarella, monterrey & cheddar. We have no Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, etc. We live in a small southern town & honestly don't have anything vegan that's pre-made except tofu. So, Can anyone tell me how to make Vegan cheese? Can I use tofu?|||http://www.ehow.com/how_2303218_make-veg鈥?/a> 1 and 1/2 cups water 5 Tbsp agar flakes 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes 1/2 cup macadamia nuts 3 Tbsp lemon juice 1 Tbsp tahini 1 Tbsp good quality soy sauce 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp turmeric (adds color naturally) 1/4 tsp salt Fresh ground pepper (optional) 鈥?

Put the remaining ingredients in a blender or a food processor, along with the dissolved agar. Process for a few minutes until totally dissolved. Scrape excess mixture from the sides as needed. 鈥? Pour into your prepared container and cool, uncovered, in the refrigerator. When cool, cover and chill overnight. To serve, turn over onto a plate or board and slice. Serve on crackers or bread, or slice and use to make a grilled cheese sandwich. This should keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.|||I'd recommend taking a look at a wiki site for the answer.
