Need a rec. for a vegan/DF cheese

My best advice? Skip the cheese. I have yet to find anything palatable. The only thing close is daiya cream cheese, and it is only good with lots of sugar .

Yeah, well, that's what I have been doing for the past few years. But I stopped into a sandwich shop Monday, a cute, hipster place on Main Street, and their sandwiches were so innovative. I was able to get a great sandwich on Udi's bread, but it still had dairy cheese on it. The sandwich was awesome, but I can't say my breach of dairy avoidance went unnoticed.

Daiya my kids will be fine with. Wet and has several options. Roots in Clatksville may have another brand to try too.

 

The Cup in Westminster will serve a gluten-free dairy-free grilled cheese, btw.

Oh the vegan cheese haters are out already :p 

Not to be contrary, but this vegan has found lots of nice cheeses. Daiya  makes nice slices http://daiyafoods.com/our-foods/slices/cheddar/ & also a blocks http://daiyafoods.com/our-foods/blocks/

The block is, in the opinion of my omni & cheese loving dad, more convincing and tastes like a mild cheddar. We like it on crackers or in a sandwich. But for grilled cheese, the slices are better. 

He also liked the Follow Your Heart cheeses. The only reason I default to Daiya is that they're easier to find here. http://followyourheart.com/vegan-cheese

Dayia's creme cheese is actually one that I don't buy anymore as nobody likes it. We prefer Tofutti for cream cheese. 

The best gourmet cheeses are Miyoko's cultured nut cheeses.  Pricy - esp for Canucks by the time we pay for exchange and shipping but truly, they're award winning for a reason.

My daughter loves daiya, but has had a dairy allergy since birth and knows no difference. She's used Tease Cheese and likes it.

If I had to go dairy free I would skip cheese. Or, have you tried nutritional yeast? It lends a cheesy-ish flavor.

I tell you - morning sickness + the smell of vegan cheese = zofran. Yikes.
