Daiya Cheese



Daiya is an unfortunate name for a spectacular cheese substitute. So far, I have had 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (using the cheddar) and 2 small pizzas (using the Italian/mozzarella). Pros: it does melt and stretch, is delicious, and the grilled cheese is EXACTLY like I remember. Cons: it is very expensive and hard to find (I got mine from veganessentials.com), and the mozzarella, while extremely good, is not a replica of the mozz I remember on pizzeria pizzas. That said, if you are a committed vegan, this 'cheese' is a dream come true. I highly recommend the splurge!

By the way, the photo shows a skillet pizza I made using the Mother Earth News recipe by Genie Dickerson. I doubled it.
