Substituting Cheese in Vegan Cooking: Fighting Over Telita Cheese with a Plastic Spoon in a Locked Car

In today's episode we'll be talking all about cheese. From its origins over 8,000 years ago in Mesopotamia to how cheese evolved across cultures and climates. I share a scene from my childhood that has never left me and tell you why Venezuelan cheeses are mostly fresh, unique and what they taught me about switching to alternatives that don't harm animals but give you a delicious experience that is also full of tradition.

I get into why cheese has kept drawing us in for more and how we can start approaching going vegan when we are cheese lovers. I give you a bit of guidance as to what to look for in store-bought vegan cheeses, but especially some of the techniques available to you when you want to go on the adventure that is making your own.

I'm also recommending some books and resources, not to mention giving you a bit of cheesy challenge this week.
