Pepper Jack
Pepper Jack
I’m completely stoked about Veganizing Martha’s Muffin – Entree Week! Why? Because I get to hand-make some of the ingredients in each of the recipes. Ingredients that I’ve always wanted to make, even though they’re readily available all made up and packaged and stuff. But I want to make them, and I am.
So tonight, I present to you my first handmade block cheeeze, Pepper Jack. I made this batch last night using the recipe from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Joanne Stepaniak. Although mine looks like I used the optional tofu listed in the recipe, I did not. Despite its looks, it tastes damn cheeezy, which surprised me, although I’m not sure why that was shocking. The recipe has the requisite cashews and nutritional yeast, so cheeezy came easy. This block is too much for the Martha entree I’ll be veganizing, so I thought I’d use some of it in the salad I had for dinner tonight. Get ready y’all and Martha! Vegan entrees coming your way.

I’ve been coveting this cookbook for so long that it went all 10th anniversary on me! If you can’t find the recipe in your original, I’ll email it to you. It’s a very, very mild cheeeze. Next time I might have to up the peppers!

How amazing! I would have never thought of making my own vegan cheese! I am new to the vegan world, and I have only tried one cheese substitute. And I really like your Martha Stewart posts!

I almost bought this book on Amazon yesterday and now you’re totally making me wish I did. Will you please feed me?

I think I’m gonna have to get The Uncheese Cookbook. That looks just too tempting.
