Taking Cashew Cheese Seriously This Time

November 4, 2004

In my October 6th entry I report on buying R A W and how it made me nostalgic for the vegetarian classic, Laurel’s Kitchen. I said I was going to take cashew cheese seriously these time and I am a woman of my word. Roxanne Klein’s recipe calls for ‘fermented bean water’ but I just used kim chi (pickled cabbage) juice to sour the nut mash – worked great.

It’s not called cheese because it tastes or feels anything like cheese – but it’s really delicious, delicious enough to eat frequently. It will suffice for comfort food in these grim days.

Poppyseed Mustard

October 26, 2004

It tastes just like it looks, dark and musty. Even though I mixed this batch with a roasted garlic clove I still think it would taste great with chocolate! Poppyseed ‘mustard’ makes me long for strudel and as soon as I am done with this juice fast I’ll develop a savoury strudel with poppy seeds and mushrooms.
