I wasn’t a fan of cheese in my pre-vegan days, so I never made an attempt to make a vegan version of cheese. But when a friend posted his recipe for vegan mozzarella cheese on Facebook and begged everyone to "Please, please, please give it a try!", I just had to make it! Here's my slightly-tweaked version.

This cheese is savoury and creamy with just a hint of a tangy flavour; good enough to be gobbled up right from the bowl! Keep it mild or spice it up according to your preference. Do you know the best thing about it? It's so easy to make, you’ll hardly spend more than 15 minutes preparing it. Give it a try and have fun with this incredibly-versatile dairy-free cheese!

 

METHOD:

1. Blend the cashews, water, corn flour, and turmeric powder into a smooth paste.

3. Turn off the heat and store in an air tight jar
