Bought as a gift for my vegan mum. I'm allergic to nuts, so despite being vegan myself, haven't been able to taste test any of the cheeses she's made from this but they look great! Mum is delighted with the book. She's made a range of cheeses and other cheesey choices from this book and so far has raved about them. I don't think most are very complicated to make as she doesn't like complicated recipes or recipes which use hard to find ingredients. Remember though that you don't have to be vegan to enjoy a nutty cheese!

Great variety of ideas - looking forward to exploring the possibilities. Really nice quality book too.

An interesting book, and great to have dairy-free recipes in such abundance these days. Please don't think that the end result will be like dairy cheese, though. For me, as a vegan of more than 40 years, that is fine, but it might not be for you. The speedy recipes at the start of the book are really variants on nut spreads rather than cheese-like, but they are tasty. The more complicated ones later in the book depend a lot on agar flakes for producing something akin to hard cheese (but it can get rubbery) and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a sort of tanginess; cider vinegar is not a taste for everyone. I am still experimenting, and expect with time I will get better results. You need to remember how long it takes to make tasty dairy cheese, which makes the processes here seem a bit more reasonable. Good to have this book, but the search for genuinely tasty dairy-free cheese which is a bit more like the original still goes on as far as I am concerned. The American measurements translate pretty well into UK equivalents and it all seems to work.

One of my favourite books. Highly recommend it. Easy vegan cheese recipes.

Brilliant! who would have thought cheese from nuts!! great vegan options. give it try and impress those cheese aficionados!

Beautiful book and plenty of homework to get along with. Health tasty cheese! Wonderful.

Wonderful book. Great quality. Lots of ideas.

Excellent book!! Great recipes!!

Haven't actually made any yet as need to find some of the ingredients (not easy on rural France to get some of them). Hiwever, this is the book I've been looking for for a long time! Cant wait to get started

Excellent. Me gusta mucho.

I have been a vegetarian for 22 years, but the reason I have never become vegan is cheese. I love cheese; to the point that when we could not find good selections locally; we could pay on special occasions to ship in products from a cheese shop on Brooklyn, half way across the country so we could enjoy it with some fresh bread, olives and wine – a perfect meal!However, the feeling the next day after indulging in rich, fatty, salt laden cheese is not a good one, so we have started exploring with simple cashew cheeses which have become a hit with friends and family, therefore this book has been on my radar for some time and now that it’s out, I finally have a plethora of ideas for vegan cheese!This book is loaded with ideas for plant based cheese as well as recipes you could incorporate the cheese in! It begins with a discussion around dairy and a plant based diet; followed by tools and techniques, and pantry staples. It is worth noting that a good blender is required; and some recipes do call for a dehydrator (for some of the harder and more “aged” cheeses) which I do not currently have, that said, there are plenty of options that I can make without one. Ingredient wise, nuts are of course a necessity but there are some weird and wonderful ingredients among the more mundane but a good health food store or Amazon are both useful sources to find these items.The recipes are great and many of them so simple. It begins with smoked almond cheddar and with just 5 ingredients and a food processor, you have a simple and delicious alternative to pimiento cheese!! It’s great for parties and ours was eaten so quickly, I am not sure people even knew the difference! There is an artichoke and spinach spread that makes a great dip and you are getting a good dose of healthy fats which will fill you up but without the fat and dairy! And best of all, it’s ready in under 15 minutes….so if we have impromptu guests I may not have dips at home but as I always have nuts and nutritional yeast, I can make this in no time!There are so many recipes: cashew truffle Parmesan, mozzarella balls, nacho cheese, cashew Camembert, even blue cheese – I cannot wait to try them all, particularly the burrata as I love that stuff and want to see how this version tastes (I will update as I make it). Then the recipes change to actual dishes: Mac and Cheese, Eggs Bennie with Hollandaise and coconut bacon! Even cheesecake!!The book is loaded with stunning photography on almost every page which helps you know what the result should look like. And the greatest thing about this book is the simplicity of the recipes which surprised me and the end result which are delicious and healthy. Love it.

Oh it just made life easier for vegans
