The process of culturing and aging the ingredients produces delectable vegan cheeses with a range of consistencies from soft and creamy to firm. For readers who want to whip up something quick, Miyoko provides recipes for almost-instant ricotta and sliceable cheeses, in addition to a variety of tangy dairy substitutes, such as vegan sour cream, crmefrache, and yogurt. For suggestions on how to incorporate vegan artisan cheeses into favorite recipes, Miyoko offers up delectable appetizers, entres, and desserts, from caprese salad and classic mac and cheese to eggplant parmesan and her own San Francisco cheesecake.

Foreword

At long last we have a great alternative to dairy-based cheese for those who are lactose intolerant or who want a substitute for animal products for any of a number of reasons, including concerns about health because of the cholesterol and saturated fats in dairy products, about the environmental impacts of animal agriculture, or about the often cruel treatment of dairy animals. For many people transitioning to a plant-based diet, the most difficult type of food to give up is cheese. Miyoko Schinner can help you satisfy those cravings with the recipes in this book. Whether you favor sharp Cheddar or rich, creamy Brie, youll find her recipes amazing, and vegans and nonvegans alike will be impressed when you serve these cheeses and dishes made with them. In fact, they may even accuse you of sneaking in some dairy products.

I can easily state that Miyoko is the most talented chef I have known. Over the past decade, she has been doing demos and workshops for groundbreaking physician and author John McDougall, MD, and for World Veg Festival, a celebration of World Vegetarian Day sponsored by San Francisco Vegetarian Society. All of her creations dazzle the taste buds, add pleasure to dining, and will satisfy even epicureans with the most elevated expectations.

In the past, Miyoko has shared her brilliance in her cookbooks Japanese Cooking: Contemporary and Traditional and The New Now and Zen Epicure, which offer a wonderful variety of delicious yet mostly straightforward dishes. Both are great resources for anyone seeking satisfying, healthful alternatives to the standard American diet.

Miyoko took a hiatus from her professional culinary endeavors for a few years to focus on her family, but now shes back, and we welcome her with open arms. Between this book and her television series, Miyokos Kitchen, we can all once again enjoy her elegant and healthful creations.

Preface

My Year of Vegan Cheeses

I have been wanting to write this book for thirty years. Thats not to say that I had a trove of vegan cheese recipes ready to be compiled into a book thirty years ago; back then they were just flickers of ideas floating around my mind. But I knew that one day I would develop some really credible vegan cheeses, and I kept promising people Id do that. Well, this has been my year of vegan cheeses.

It started sometime in the spring of 2010. I had been intrigued for several years by the nut-based cheeses popular in the raw food community and had been playing around with them. The majority of vegan cheeses I had sampled were more like spreads, requiring a stretch of the imagination to think of them as cheese. But a few were stellar, notably the raw cheeses made by Roxanne Klein at her all-too-ephemeral restaurant, Roxannes. Caf Gratitude, a chain of vegan restaurants in the Bay Area, also had some winners on their menu. Still, if they were raw, they didnt melt. There was also, of course, the ever-increasing number of commercially available vegan cheeses that melted to a degree, which had improved in quality and variety over the years, but to my taste buds they still had a somewhat artificial flavor and werent up to cheese board standards. What to do?

The answer was clear. It was time to make good on my promise. With a vegetarian fundraiser at my house coming up, I decided to spend a few weeks experimenting with nut-based cheeses. My goal was to put together a platter of vegan cheeses as the centerpiece of the buffet. I figured that the vegan and vegetarian community would be supportive of any attempt at cheese, making this a safe venue in which to embark on my venture. I presented Brie, flavored chvre, Gruyre, and a few other cheeses. And then I retreated to the kitchen to see how people reacted. Well, they raved. Afterward I even heard from people who hadnt been there but had found out about the cheeses through the grapevine. That was all great feedback, but hey, it was still a vegan crowd.

So I kept at it, coming up with more varieties, and I started serving them to my omnivorous friends, including at a big holiday party. Their reactions were the same as those from the vegans and vegetarians, only the omnivores often told me that they couldnt tell the difference between my cheeses and the real stuff. This was exciting, and I threw myself headlong into my cheese experiment.

My kitchen became a laboratory, with cheeses lying around everywhere as I attempted to age them while fending off mold. People would look quizzically at the rounds strewn around the kitchen and wonder what they were. From the initial nut-based cheeses to varieties made from yogurt to the day I finally found a way to make a vegan cheese that actually melted, I had a couple of cheeses in the works at all times and would prod anyone who walked into the house into trying some. Some of the cheeses were, of course, less delectable, and a few ended up in my compost pile, but many met with rave reviews.

It has now been about a year since my big cheese experiment began, and I finally have that trove of cheese recipes. But the journey has only just begun. As the deadline for this book fast approaches, I continue to dream up new ways to make cheeses and another lightbulb turns onand then I have to remind myself that now is the time for me to buckle down and finish writing this book rather than puttering around the kitchen. So for the time being, I dont have as many cheeses sitting on my counters, but Ill be back in my cheese laboratory soon enough, developing more recipes to add to the next edition of this book. In the meantime, I hope youll find these cheeses fun and compelling enough to serve not only to vegans but to your omnivorous friends as well.
