The cheese I made was truly artisan like the title of the book. Don't expect it to be as firm as store bought, but it has a great flavor and looks good. <br /><br />My first batch of rejuvelac (base to culture) became moldy; I didn't keep a close eye on it after it sprouted. It should have been rinsed and the refrigerated within 24 hours after the 3 cups of water were added.

The air-dried Gouda and cheddar I made were excellent and surprisingly easy. don't expect the cheese to be as firm as commercial cheese, it's not, butvthe flavor is good and even non-vegans like it. One tip : when making the rejuvilac, make sure to rinse twice a day while it is sprouting; once sprouted, and after you have added the extra water, check a couple times a day to see if it has turned milky and has a slightly tart taste, then strain it and refrigerate immediately. <br /><br />My first batch turned moldy so I had to start over. Either I didn't rinse it enough, or I left it out too long on the counter after it had started to culture when I should have refrigerated it.

I'm making the rejuvelac right now, as per this book. The only cheese I've made from it otherwise was the cream cheese, which is cultered with soy yogurt. And let me tell you, it is really damn good. Far better than some Tofutti whatever. I'm going to blog about it very soon.FoodandLoathinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059938726316378692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-38856916757724984662012-09-19T16:13:09.211-05:002012-09-19T16:13:09.211-05:00I've been hoping to make the fresh mozz ever s...I've been hoping to make the fresh mozz ever since I got my copy of VegNews!
