The reason many vegetarians don't become vegan, and vegans struggle or become compromised is often cheese. It tastes good. It can be addictive. Cheese is a highly contested space. Often seen as a mainstay in vegetarian cooking, even 'vegetarian' cheese made with non-animal rennet is problematic from an animal welfare perspective: at its simplest, milk taken for human consumption deprives calves of it.

The first cheese-making workshop.
Non vegetarian colleagues had really liked the Boursin and the Pub Cheddar in tasting sessions. When I set up a workshop for them they made the Basic Cashew Cheese, then experimented with flavours, adding very tangy sun-dried tomato and ground up dried porcini mushroom for extra umami: so more-ish! They also made a fabulous version with a few drops of liquid smoke in it which I am definitely adding to the repertoire.
It's great that omni's are enjoying vegan cheese - that is a result! We are now thinking of other ways to develop this.
