vegan cheese: I have been a vegetarian for 9 years but have recently began considering becoming a vegan. Most of my life, I used to eat dairy products because the animal wasn't killed for it, so it's okay. I now know better and know how incredibly sick the farming industry is, and do not want to support it. Does anyone have any suggestions for different kinds of vegan cheeses i can buy? Which ones I should avoid? What are the artificial eggs called? The ones that are used for vegan baking? Do they taste and bake the same way as eggs would? I know it's going to be difficult becoming a vegan, but i want to stick to it. Does anyone know of any good vegan cookbooks that maybe have recipes for things like ice cream, pizza, and other foods like that? I'm not a huge fan of the weird veggies, like eggplant and artichokes, i just want to eat the same food i eat now but without any animal derived products! Any suggestions would be very appreciated!|||I want you to know that my husband and I were carnivores for our 25 years of life. Just 3 months ago we went vegan flat out on the spot! We read the book "Skinny ******" and went vegan as we read and will NEVER go back! It's a life style and a "Connection" we made that can't be taken away. So it can be done! We use EnerG egg replacer for baking and it's perfect. We use tofu in scrambled breakfast stuff with fake bacon and will put it in a tortilla with veggies and such. There is a Vegan Pizza by Amy's I believe. A frozen one, it's pretty good. But we make our own. We put sauce and lots of veggies and sometimes fake bacon with pineapple. We don't miss the cheese. We have veggie burgers. I have a recipe book called Vegan Planet that is marvelous! Also Skinny Bit ch in the Kitch is really good. We make lots of taco salads, burritos, tacos (with tempeh), fajitas with tempeh, Green salads with corn, pinto beans, onions, cilantro, tomatoes and avocado (no dressing) There is a yummy vegan boxed mac and cheese we like. We don't use any vegan cheese though. It's all icky. The mozzerella isn't too bad if melted on a veggie burger. We make bagel sandwiches using Tofutti and veggies. My favorite! We make enchaladas that we found online with potatoe in it and they are the bomb! Earth Balance butter is fabulous!|||How about Tofutti ice cream. I love the Chocolate Cookies one.|||check out peta's website-- and peta2 =D|||sounds good|||I'm not a fan of vegan cheeses, but then I never ate cheese much as an omni. The vegan substitute for eggs is called Ener-G Egg Replacer, and it's a powdered mix. You use 1/2 tablespoon of the mix and 2 tbsp water per egg and mix to a goopy consistency before adding to the batter. You can also use a flax seed slurry. The substitutes are meant to help add lift and binding, not taste like egs. For excellent vegan cookbooks, look for those by Sarah Kramer and Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Ice cream: Purely Decadent makes the best. They're part of the So Delicious family of non-dairy desserts and you can get soy ice creams or coconut milk ice creams. They also have vegan ice cream bars that are pretty good. For shopping, check out www.veganessentials.com, www.veganstore.com, www.cosmosveganshoppe.com, and www.vegangoods.com.
