Re:Vegan soy cheese- vegetarian gimme lean/soy sour cream

[Guest guest]

The only soy cheeses I tolerate are the mozarella versions, but NOT melted

(texture is usually very odd, I think). Soy-sation's mozarella is tolerable in

a sandwich--the texture is good; the cheese is quite bland, but snadwich

fixins jazz it up. Soy-sation is not vegan, however.

 

I recently tried Toffuti's Better Than Sour Cream which isn't bad, but blah.

I added a little mustard to it and it more closely resembled real sour cream

(to me).

 

I also tried Better Than Cream Cheese which is a bit blah but at least it

doesn't have the strong tofu taste; I'm trying to figure out what ingredient is

lacking that would make it closer to real cream cheese--it probably would be

fine in a cheese cake, tho I haven't tried it.

garlic and top my pizza and I don't add any type of cheese.

Does anyone in the UK have any recommendations for any vegan cheese? I have

never found any that I can eat, there is not much choice, but those I have

tried I would rather do without. I am not vegan at the moment, just

vegetarian, but am not happy at eating cheese, so any recommendations would

be welcome.
