vegan cheese making
Fu just left after we made two quick batches of vegan cheese. Vegan cheese basically consists of soaked cashews, red miso, coconut oil, salt, and water.
While I tried to be a good food blogger and ensure that there were photos documenting the process... unfortunately, vegan cheese is not a pretty adventure... it's actually a rather bland photography subject.
Judge for yourself
Begin with wet cashews in a blender. Then blend with all the other ingredients until you get a smooth consistency.
hang in cheese cloth
I wanted to get a pic of the funani trying the cheese, but apparently, I missed that moment...
Anyhoo, it really doesn't taste like cheese... it tastes like... miso. So we're hoping after draining for a night, that it will taste more like cheese. Our first batch we left plain, but the second batch we flavored with cumin.
Tomorrow we bring it all back to Cafe Gratitude for the manager to taste how we did...

It's all a little disturbing, this whole nuts-as-cheese thing. Very FoodOfTheFuture, even though in its dedication to raw-ness it seems also back-to-naturey.
Also should we be calling fufu funani on a public blog?
oh yes, because our current audience of 6 is really going to object to that.
Dude you're such a prude. prudey-mcprudester.
I'll possibly change it to fuanani.
testing again

I'm not a big fan of food of the future... I wish they just wouldn't call it cheese. I think it's too limiting too. It closes off avenues for unleashing the natural power of the ingredients.
test again! Sorry for all the comment tests, it'll be awesome when it finally works!
I'm just saying, what if one day we become like a world famous blog, and then everyone at UCLA starts calling Fuson funani?
