Answers:
If you want to make a great mock cheese sauce, try nutritional yeast (not bakers or brewers yeast)!. You can get it at most health food stores, To make the sauce, just add some of the powder to warm water or rice milk, add a little sea salt, and stir until warm-makes a super "cheesy" tasting sauce-great on veggies, toast, etc!. There are also many vegetarian cheeses on the market that use vegetarian rennet as opposed to rennet from cows stomachs!. If you are wanting to go vegan, then you wouldn't want the milk in cheese, but if you just want a veggie version of cheese, I recommend CABOT brand-excellent vegetarian friendly cheese!.

There are soy cheeses!. I haven't eaten any since becoming a vegan, though, since I remember not really liking em much when I've tried them in the past!. It probably varies by brand, too, though!. I know what you mean!. I love cheese, but I've just cut it out of my diet!. It's gross if you think about it, if I want a deterrent I just think of all that fat and how weird it is to eat it!.
But to answer your question, I've just learned not to eat it!. If I just think of it as something that is off limits, then it's not so much of a problem!. Eventually maybe it will just be gross to me the way meat is!. For now, I just eat the same stuff I did as a vegetarian, but without the cheese!. Spaghetti marinara without the parmesan, sandwiches with hummus instead of cheese, etc!. Once it becomes part of your routine, it won't be so hard!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

There definitely is a vegan substitute for cheese! Get yourself a copy of "The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook" by Joanne Stepaniak!. It's full of excellent cheesey recipes!. I've made a lot of them and they're quite good!. I really like her gooey grilled cheeze sandwich, her crock cheeze (tastes like creamy cheddar), and lots of others!. It was her earlier version of this cookbook (out of print), which helped me transition from vegetarian to vegan!.
There are also packaged vegan cheeses out there!. I've tried a lot of them, and while they're not as good as the ones you make yourself, they're better than they used to be!. I think the best is the "Follow Your Heart" brand!. You can experiment with the various brands and see how you like them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know what you mean, I am having a hard time giving up cheese, even if I haven't eat cheese in like 4 months!. Anyway, yes there are some substitutes, just read the ingredients because whenever i find a soy cheese, I read the ingredients and it says it has some milk, so i don't find the point of being soy cheese!. You could make your own cheese, I found a recipe, uhm go to youtube and type soy cheese (:

I never was much of a cheese freak, except for on my pizza!. There's Follow Your Heart from Vegan Gourmet, Teese from Temptation, and Dr!. Cow, a nut cheese!. If you're looking at soy cheeses, watch out for casein, a dairy protein!. Casein also appears in many "non-dairy" creamers!. In fact, anything with the word casein or caseinate has dairy protein in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, there is!.
Vegan cheeses are normally made from soya protein!. There are a variety of types available - hard or firm varieties that can be grated and sliced; soft or spready versions that can be used in sandwiches or rolls; and even a mozzarella that can be sprinkled on top of pizzas!. There are also lots of different flavours available e!.g!. Cheddar, Gouda, Stilton or Edam!.
Vegan cheeses are normally only available from wholefood or healthfood shops, and some branches of Sainsbury’s!. However, with the huge interest now being shown in animal-free foods, it shouldn't be long before we see them more widely available!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are lots!.
The non-vegan ones with casein in it melts the best!.
The vegan ones, few companies make any good ones, but
This one is alright:

> and Sheese (European Style), I like that one best so far!.

I had some today actually!. It's an expensive import, but I talked to the local distributor at a vegan health show today and he said they're looking into manufacturing over here on the N!. American continent, so that'll be cool!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Absolutely!. They don't taste exactly like cheese and don't behave like it (they don't melt, in general), but for some vegans, it's just what they need!. Be sure to check labels, though! Lots of cheese made from alternative milks still contain dairy proteins for texture!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, there is!
You can find recipes online (alot of them call for Nutritional Yeast, which has a cheesy flavor to it)
Than, brands like Tofutti, and Follow Your Heart make cheese knockoffs!. Some melt better than others, so beware!
I would go online, and search for different brands!. Most you can purchase online :)
Hope this helped you! Www@FoodAQ@Com
