  you can google cashew mozzarella. They're all basically cashew, tapioca starch (makes it stretchy), flavorings (miso/nutritional yeast/etc), garlic, and a liquid (water/non-dairy yogurt/etc). The ingredients are blended, then cooked until it thickens.

    > you can google cashew mozzarella. I'm sure I can, but the GGP's recipe sounded particularly good! Ok thanks.

cashew is the best method of faux cheese. It has the creaminess and a good melt, but doesn't brown right.

  There is no best method of faux cheese - it depends on your usecase. That said, I do agree that cashew is extremely versatile.

Out of interest, are you aware of how cashews are farmed and harvested? And the health implications involved in doing so?

If you’re vegan because you’re against cruelty, you might want to reconsider eating cashews. They’re processed in facilities that are often horrifically cruel to the workers [1].

  well that's from 2013? Do the claim still hold? I don't think there will be anything left to eat for vegan ? Why See example of oil. There has been too many controversies regarding palm oil and how it destroys orangutan habitat. But now if we shift to olive oil which many people did there was a news of some bird being killed for that? So the question is can we have 100% vegan? No for sure But can we try to vegan as much as possible? Yes for sure. And I will not eat the cashews from those company that are responsible for being horrifically cruel to workers. Same for palm oil and olive oil. We shall try for best.
