- These vegan cheese recipes are as simple as it gets and really tasty too. I use the parmesan and easy cheese sauce all the time, and I was so excited when I first realised how easy it is to make a grate-able /meltable firm cheese :D There are more complex and more true to real cheese firm cheese recipes out there, and I can do a video on my fav in the future but they are do have more steps so I didn't want to go into that in this video. I hope these are useful XX

The last one is GENIUS! I am one step closer to becoming a vegan
+Nia LaLa V Peta also has a 'how to go vegan' starter kit, they will mail to you for free. I just ordered mine :)
+Karolina Jaworska I found the book "Vegan for Life" by Jack Norris and Virginia Messina to be useful. Have a look at it. It will give you valuable information about nutrition.
Same
I just made the switch! Videos like this make it easier :) go for it!
an update for people who comment on here and care: im almost vegan now. when i was writing the comment I was vegetarian for 1.5 years. now the only thing i eat from animal products are sometimes eggs (2 eggs a week probably? sometimes more, sometimes less) that my dad gets me from a local farmer friend who treats his chickens with love and respect, and 1 tsp of honey with my coffee each day.
Hi all, quick advice for those using AGAR FLAKES: I've just discovered through trial and error and help from another channel I've been following that agar agar powder is 3 times stronger than agar flakes - the only thing available near me, so if you're using flakes instead of powder use three times as much for the recipe.
Yes
Have no clue what that stuff is, do you know I can use instead?
Hi do y'all know a substitute for agar agar
THANK YOU!!! Explains a lot!!
@@taneshaclarke5520 maybe cornstarch
Started watching her 2 yrs ago when I started going natural, and she's still by FAR my favourite vegan youtuber 😁❤❤❤
I finally tried the easy cheese sauce. Omg Yum!! I did 1.5 tbsp of oil & chick pea flour (gluten-free option), 1 tsp salt, 1.5 tbsp nut. yeast, 6 dashes of cayenne, and since I didn't have milk I blended 1 c water w/ 1/3 c mildly salted cashews in my vitamix until the chunks were gone. Likely high in salt, but so tasty. Next time, I'd experiment with more spices and add a dash of turmeric for a yellow tint.
Thanks for sharing. I might try making this. :)
Yum! The last cheese looks amazing! I haven't seen anyone make a recipe with that few ingredients that actually melts.
+Amiee Ann agreed, love the ease of the parmesean! and looks just like it
yes agree thanks so much...gonna get striaght onto these recipes. thanks again! From Crete, Greece.
oh my goshhh!! so easy! finally a recipe that doesnt have 600 ingredients that are impossible to find xD
I can't eat dairy or gluten, so many of my meals would be considered vegan. I miss cheese the most, but I hate paying so much for dairy free cheese. I will definitely try this out. Thanks!
The store bought is really not tasty
Please be aware that soy sauce has gluten in it. They make GF soy sauce.
I personally love the taste lol. I always get cheddar style from good cheese brands.
Vegan has nothing to do with gf
@@fraisedesbois7240 It does if you have an intolerance to both milk and gluten, like I do.
I love your channel because I am a vegetarian, but I am lactose intolerant, so vegan recipes are really helpful
lactose intolerant friendddddd~
I made this tonight with my vermicelli with heirloom tomato sauce and it was AWESOME!!! My whole family loved it!!! Thanks again for sharing!!
I just made the vegetable cheese and... I LOVE YOU! It's the best vegan cheese recipe I've ever found! It tastes amazing!
Which recipe did you make the first one?
Your videos helped me transition to vegan diet six years ago. It was a good foundation for my understanding and falling in love of plant-based recipes. Thank you!
This is by far the best vegan cheese video I have seen . Thank you so much
That was a wonderful and comprehensive video. The use of agar agar powder was genius.
Thank you so much!! I'm new to the vegan lifestyle and I really miss cheese, so this is really helpful :)
+Genesis Zamora me too, lol !!!
+Genesis Zamora Hey hows vegan going for you? :) x
+Potato Dreams it's had its ups and down but it's going really good rn. My cravings for dairy are pretty much gone and I'm really enjoying this lifestyle. It's honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel great :)
i also struggled with letting go of cheese but once i found out that the craving didn't come from the taste but from the saturated fats in it then i just started to eat coconut oil and all my cheese or eggs cravings disappeared! i've been vegan since 1999 and it was really hard at first because we didn't have so many options and internet knowledge. it's crazy how the world changes in just a few years! anyway good luck and thanx for being vegan!
How did it go?
Where were you all my life! Hands down, the best recipes! Thank you!
Your recipies are the best on RUclips. Believe me, I've been searching for a week.
I should seriously take the summer to try all of your recipes; they look delicious
I've been vegetarian for years now but haven't gone completely vegan, mostly because I can't go without cheese (and the pre-made vegan cheeses are usually gross or loaded with preservatives). If these recipes work for me I may finally be ready to make the switch! Thanks Ela; really appreciate these ideas :)
+StarBelle23 same, I'm afraid to get into processed vegan cheeses! incase it's any encouragement, I loved cheese too and found that it's the absolute last thing I crave now (even healthier vegan cheeses like these) since having gone vegan, which I never would have expected
I'm the exact same way.
What simple, easy to follow recipes. Thank you. I want to watch more of your videos.
Great Video. These are all recipes I have made over the years, so it was really cool to see them in your presentation.
I love cooking shows like this. I subscribed.
The third cheese looked like the best one. It looks yummy.
I’ve tried two of these already and I love them!!! Thank you so much❤️
It's also really nice to add herbs like dill or chives to the hard cheeses.
Whoa! amazing! I've got to try some of these out! I have nutritional yeast but I've only sprinkled it on top of my popcorn and some veggies.
Sarah Tran Cashew based Parmesan has become a staple in our house. I use a similar recipe and make a double batch*, which fills two 8 ounce shaker bottles. One goes in the freezer until the other is used up. Between the two bottles we can get four to six months of Parmesan.
* double batch vegan Parmesan:
1-1/2 cups raw cashews (not soaked)
6 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1-1/2 tsp sea salt
brilliant!theyre literally so easy thanks xx
I'm so loving all of your videos!!
Finally a cheese recipe I want to try! Thanks for video! I'm excited to try these.
I have to tell you, I absolutely love the second recipe *so* much!! I watched this video when I first became a vegan,and wrote it down. Since then, I've eaten it so much that for awhile I actually forgot where I found the recipe from! I'd say I have it at least once a week (when I first became a vegan that was my go-to meal and ate it probably 2-3 times weekly hehe). I love making mac & cheese with it, and love topping baked potato, fries, and tortilla chips with it. It tastes extra delicious if it's made with sweetened coconut milk ^~^ Thanks for the recipes!
Thank you AleiaAnimalLover for letting us know that you've tried it, and it's foolproof now I trust that it'll work.
Do you have to soak the cashews first for any of the recipes
I love cauliflower + milk + salt/pepper/nutmeg as a cheese sauce alternative.
I tried nutritional yeast but I can't handle the taste.
+Nali Vlogs does it taste bad, or just strong? You've scared me haha
Mikayla Katherine It's strong to me. I only ever liked brie, camembert or mozzarella in small amounts.
Oh yeah I see what you mean, fair enough!
+Mikayla Katherine I think it depends on your taste, because I love it! x
+Nali Vlogs It depends on the formula. I know that some yeasts taste like vomit; Brewer's yeast FLAKES I can eat a ton, but they are expensive
WONDERFUL!! Happiness is just a whirr away!! Thanks for the delicious recipes. Will definitely try them!!😃😄🥰
Thank you for these receipes! Cheese is my favorite go to! These recipes show me that it doesn't have to be so time consuming! Thank you again!💞
How you easily pick up things & instantly make out from them. 💫👍 love your videos !
I can't wait to try all of these!
Definitely subscribing! ♡
Great recipes! I love the floral molds! Thank you for sharing your delicious and beautiful recipes, tutorials and video!
I am a stomach cancer patient. I love cheese, pizza, lasagna. Thanks for the great recipes for cheese replacements Regards from Malaysia.
wow I'm a cheese/dairy lover but I just decided to give it up bc vegan cheeses are not easily accessible here. Your recipes look amazing, I just have to try them some time! 👍✨💖
Hi, Ela.
Thanks so much for the fantastic recipes! I made the solid cheese last week, and it was really tasty; haven't had so many cheese toasties since I was a student! Ha!
The only thing was, the consistency was too soft... to the point where it would squash when I handled it. It was still perfectly edible, and it held its molded shape when left alone... but I must have sone something slightly wrong.
Do you think I added too much water and/or not enough agar agar? The sweet potato I used was smaller than the one in the video, come to think of it; it was the only one I had left.
Thank you so much for making a video about firm vegan cheese I love your channel and this video made me so happy 💖💖
Looks delicious, thank you
Wow! Amazing recipes, thank you for this! I need to get some agar agar powder now!
They all look wonderful! Thanks so much!
Wow...thank you so much for this...really appreciate the clear explanation, looking forward to your book now.
Woe awesome can't wait to make it
OMG OMG OMG
The last one is so awesome! Need to try it !
Wonderfully presented in such a simple way, I make variations of all of these cheeses, I tend to add fresh herbs as well and friends never believe how easy it is when they try it. I am going to share your video in my groups so they can see for themselves. Thank you!
looks so yummy
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm kind of a new vegan (3 months into it) and I can't find any vegan cheese at my grocery stores. this video was really helpful :)
you blow my mind!!!! and have inspired me all over again!! thanks for all of the amazing recipes! 💖
Love these recipes! I have been watching this over and over, gonna try making the hard cheese today:)
That last cheese looks sooooo good! That's next on my list of things to try :-)
+Mikayla Katherine Did you try it? Is it any good on pizzas? Does it taste like cow cheese??!
+brassic5 I haven't had the chance yet! I doubt it tastes like cow cheese though haha 😊
+brassic5 I have some non vegan friends who have tried Daiya cheese and they said its cheesier than cow's cheese. I'm going to assume this is sorta like it.. But I haven't tried it yet either.
+Mikayla Katherine if you ferment it for a few days it does. There's a bunch of recipes on RUclips for fermented vegan cheese.
how long will the firm cheese last? will it freeze?
She said 4 or 5 days. Don't know about the freezing it :p
Outright Allie Σχολιο.θα ηθελα παρακαλω ολες τις συνταγες ναναι μεταφρασμενες
Thank you! Very helpful. I have friends coming over for Thanksgiving and I really want them to feel comfortable and have some different types of vegan dishes.
Thank you sooo much I've been looking for vegan cheese recipes ....sooo helpful thanks again
Turn on subtitles and skip to 5:57 LOL.
Nepamiršk už ką mes kovojome Lietuvi! Avoiding Derek works lol
This got me 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Can you PLEEEAASE upload your lasagna recipe :)
It is so great that you are making these recipes!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I just love the taste of cheese and I don't want to miss that kind of flavour!
that is some nice looking vegan gary you got going on there.
You rock!
I havent watched many nutritional yeast cheese recipe videos but I'm certain this is the holy grail. Brand new nutritional yeast user here. Will definitely try all of them!
Oh my goodness, I just made the vegan Parmesan - so so amazingly tasty!! I made mine with roasted cashews too and I subbed the garlic powder for onion powder as that's what I had on hand. Can't wait to try the others. Thank you so much Ela - I love and appreciate your videos!
Your voice is so calming😌
can anyone who's tried it confirm that they are nice/worth the effort? also, which ones did you prefer?
thanks
i tried the second one and it was really tasty over pasta
LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR YUMMY RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much for this video. So many ideas for different cheeses in such a simple, short video. great job x
has anyone tried these recipes? are they tolerable or is good as it looks?
can anyone PLEASE como up for a substitute for nitritional yiest???? that thing is really expensive and hard to come by!!!
u can buy online, frontier brand sells it real cheap, a pound that will last for a while. i buy on amazon or ebay
You can use brewer's yeast wich is easier to find and not so expensive (at least where I live).
You can actually purchase this product online. Try amazon, you can find lost of options for any price point.
Jorge Gonçalves is that a good yeast to be eating? i feel like you dont want an over growth of that yeast in your body
it's really gross, it tastes like vomit.
Simple and delicious. Precisely my type of cooking!
Thank you for this! I've been looking for some vegan cheese recipes that don't require a lot of oil, and all of these are perfect! 😊
One more question.......it say soy or cashew milk. My granddaughter drink almond milk. Should we make these with cashew milk or would her regular brand work?
I think almond milk will work perfectly as well :)
+Camille almond milk would work. I think she only chose cashew because it tends to be richer than almond milk.
can I use ordinarty yeast
+Agitha Mahilan Yeast you buy for baking and nutritional yeast is a very different product i wouldnt advise it x
Thank you! I love your channel! Very inspirational!
Oh my goodness I’m loving this channel. One of the hardest things for me to give up when I went Vegan was cheese. I can’t wait to try some of your cheeses.
Where do I buy agar agar powder?
I saw it in a Walmart once, but I know Whole Foods has it
Never buy agaragar from a health food store. They exorbitant the price. Get it from an Asian grocer. They use it in their desserts, and it's as cheap as muck.
Can't we do without nutritional yeast? Pls reply.
It won't taste cheesy, but it'll work.
Ok. Thank you for replying.
Great video! Thank you for sharing the recipes with us!
I can't wait to try this!!It looks delicious.
I'm a vegan who lives in Ireland and I have no idea where to find nutritional yeast. Can someone hook me up? Preferably a cheap option.
I got two 5 oz bottles online for just $11 dollars
You can try to find them at your local health food store. Or check and ask at your supermarket. Sometimes they might have it or they don't. Or buy online which would be expensive (but buy in bulk.) Hope this helps.
kitaa p. Could you possibly link me please? :)
Johnny Perez They definitely don't have it in supermarkets here unfortunately. Also i've seen things called ''yeast flakes'' in health stores around my area but i have no idea if it's the same thing as nutritional yeast..I read online that there's different kinds.

First video of yours that I'm watching and you have a new subscriber!
I've been thinking about going vegan and was looking for some good "cheese" recipes; tried daiya in brick forme and didn't particularly like it. Thanks for the awesome recipes!
Would anyone advise going vegan, as well as tips on the process? Good reasons to go vegan? I"m stumped and had read tonnes of biased meat eater comments and newsletters saying how one can't. I've been an omnivore all of my life and need to find a different nutritional path. Advise on veganism would be helpful!
+GaryOakIsMine Veganism is great! I have never felt better ever before in my life!
Good and delicious food! I've just tried making some bean burgers with mashed potatoes, oats, chickpea flour, coconut oil and leftover pot of beans. Baked them in a pan lightly covered in coconut oil; they turned out really well! I'm all for good food, saving animals as well as the environment. I'm going vegan full throttle.
The horrors of factory farms are harming animals, as well as the environment. Also if everyone went vegan (stretching it a bit and it won't happen overnight, that's for sure) we could eliminate world hunger and halt global warming.
Had just gotten all of the animal protein out of my body and hadn't put any into it in a couple of days, feeling better already. As well as all of the ethnic cuisines that are vegan, and the wonderful kitchen experiments. (you can make cream soups with nuts? Yes!!)
May be too much, but I feel and oddly enough, smell better. So glad I found this channel and started researching veganism because of it.
GaryOakIsMine Congratulations and Welcome to the Vegan Community 😊 Much Love and Good Health to You!!
And so agree with your closing words. That is the real meaning of the words compassion 💚
Thanks. Looks lovely can't wait to try them
I've made the last one, it doesn't taste like cheese. its like a creamy vegetable soup.
it was pretty yummy as a soup! but if you wanna compare it to cheese... it'll be tough.
+Minju B yea, it definitely.needs to ferment a few days in order to taste like cheese.
but didn't the agar make it set? lol
When in doubt, add nutritional yeast
Minju does all of the recipes in this video not taste like cheese?..
I'm curious since I'm not vegan If this taste like actual cheese or if it tastes nothing at all like cheese
It tastes similar to cheese, but not exactly like it. I have been vegan for awhile now so I forget exactly what dairy cheese tastes like, but I remember when I first stopped eating it and tried a substitute I liked it. Try it with an open mind, you may like it for an entirely different reason than you like diary cheese, just don't expect them to taste exactly alike.
+Amiee Ann thanks! I may have to try one or all of these. I LOVE cheese but I don't tolerate dairy well. I LOVE cashews so hopefully I'll like them.
+kasandra estes you're like me! I always felt sluggish after eating dairy cheese but still loved the taste - last thing I gave up before going vegan and having been vegan for a few months now I don't have the slightest craving for it :O vegan cheeses, especially like the cashew based one taste better now especially because all they lack is that latcic acid flavor that made me sick... but still have the yummy appeal of cheese flavor if that makes sense :)
Kas Witcraft it's reminiscent of cheese although I kinda have trouble remember exactly what cheese tastes like it's been a while
Thanks for sharing your recipes Ela! Tried them out for various dishes and they were a big hit with the fam 💜
These recipes look great. Cannot wait to try them thank you x
*Cries in potato intolerance*
Can I use almond milk for the cheese sauce?
Yea sure
Thanks Ela for those easy and tasty recipes! Myself vegan for more than 2 years and making my own vegan cheeses too. Ive shared your video through Twitter and facebook for my followers who will surely find it inspirational :)
Oh my goodness!! I am so excited to have stumbled across your video!! I've been spending a fortune on vegan cheese when I could have made it myself the whole time! 😀 thank you xx
Does it really taste like cheese or does it only looks like it 😕😞
Ingrid Sorel it just looks like it lol
It does taste like cows cheese !!!😍
Is it okay to use soy milk?
as long as it's plain anything will do, it just may not be as thick.
Looking forward to your delicious looking recipes. Thank you.
You're a savior. I love the variety of vegan cheese so easy to use.
is vegan cheese a lot lower in fat than regular cheese?
Absolutely :)
+Joy E depends on how many cashews you will be consuming as well :P
tilky oh yeah , that's very true which isn't so great for acne depending on the person.
ah ok, I'm not vegan but I love trying vegan recipes etc. to enlighten myself :) I am hoping to cut out dairy completely and look into dairy alternatives. I also think I may have some lactose intolerance... This 'cheese' looks like a fantastic idea to start off with! Thanks for letting me know that it can be a lot lower in fat than actual cheese. :)
Laura Clinton me too, lol its good to be open minded.
why do most vegans use coconut or olive oil and rarely use vegetable oil? personnaly i think by using vegetable oil we will avoid extra flavors.
Inn Daydem coconut oil has no flavor and I guess it's "healthier". Olive oil on the other hand is thicker and the flavor is usually why people use it.
Canola oil is apparently very processed and not at all healthy.
Using refined coconut oil maintains the texture/consistency while keeping a neutral taste :-)
Inn Daydem I'm not sure but for me I have always just used Olive oil that is what my mom always got the only time I would ever see vegetable oil was in the store
Vegetable oil/ canola oil is actually very healthy. Coconut oil is incredibly unhealthy because of the insane saturated fat content (90%, higher than butter and lard). I think the reason a lot of vegans don't use vegetable oil often is because they assume it's not as healthy as other oils which is really unfortunate. However, there are some legitimate concerns about frying with vegetable oil because apparently it smokes easily and breathing in the vapors can be bad for you. So olive oil is the preferred oil in that case.
Thank you for this video! Simply made vegan cheeses! ♥️ You are so lovely.
Thnak you! best easy vegan cheese recepies i´ve found so far! :)
I love your videos. You are so beautiful . :)
