I can't wait for your cookbook Connie! You are the only UA-cam that I am willing to pause and grab a pen for the recipes. Your stuff always comes out perfect and these look no different. I can't wait for the video!!!
Yeah I use a 4 by 6 index cards Connie's the only UA-cam poster that I copy the recipe down she makes some of the best recipes for vegans the last scene on UA-cam
Iam pretty much 100% raw vegan, but I totally adore food wizard alchemists as you are... I have made so many of your recipes for my regular friends because I love feeding people, as im sure you do too 😍😍😍
I made this cheese a month ago And I tasted it yesterday after the "aging". It is very tasty, but I lack the typical taste of cheese. Today I tried to prepare a slightly different version - I started with fermented home made unfiltered vegan milk (Half a cup of cashews/macademia blended with 2 cups of water, 1 tsp. of suger and 4 capsules of yogurt bacteria-Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, Left outside the refrigerator for two days, in cloth-covered container) In addition to your list of ingredients I added 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast and reduced the amount of miso to half a teaspoon. Now the cheese is in the fridge and I will continue to report how it developed. Thanks again for your videos you are an inspiration. Sakra
@@conniesrawsomekitchen I tasted it today and it's already Too sour. I think it was a mistake to ferment the milk. I'll keep trying until I get the perfect cheese for my taste. It's a fascinating challenge.
Connie, you've struck again! Gold that is! I've been silent behind the scene, but I've been creating some things of my own and using the hubs as a Guinea pig. I made the vegan eel, but I couldn't find the black bean paste so I created a delicious glaze. My son came in and asked what was I making because it smelled so good that he could've eaten the whole kitchen! Lol! The sauce was totally brilliantly done and was so delicious. When I remember what I put in it, I'll put it up for you to try!
Are you adding rejuvelac as a culture or just as flavor? I would think blooming the starches would be killing off most of anything living in the liquid.
I understand this vegan "cheese" may not melt, and that it may not taste like Fontina (even if it has the right texture), but does it at least taste like some sort of cheese ??? Has anyone made this ?????
Connie, love you! I’m forwarding this to my daughter, her husband going thru med school has got her to cook mostly vegan now for their health. I want her to learn from a real homemade cook so want her to learn from you. Thank you so much for shareing!
Wow Connie this looks good and easy. I’ll have to make some of that stinky water and give this a try. I’m curious what the flavor will be like. I’m thinking if it’s mild that I will probably add some hot peppers and maybe even some olives. Thank you so much for sharing your Creations with us. I really do appreciate it. I never would of thought of making cheese this way 😊
I'm making this recipe tomorrow. I don't have all the ingredients. Question : After you put the cheese in the fridge changing the paper towel for a few days do I need to age the cheese wrapped in pt and brown paper at room temperature or in the fridge for 2 weeks? Please let me know, I would appreciate it. Also, I tried one of your meat steak recipes and I had a friend over for dinner (meat eater) and tried it and we absolutely loved it!! I love all your recipes and everything! ! All your videos, your clean language. . Thank you so much Connie
Made this but left out the rejuvelac, added in 2 tbsp of nooch,1/2 tsp liquid smoke, 1 tsp carrageenan and increased the miso amount and dehydrated for 6 hrs or until firm. Aged for a week and its the best cheese I've made to date ! Ive made it twice, once with Eden organic soy milk and once with an oat milk and the soy was WAY better. Thank you and keep up the great work !
also I split this recipe into 6 smaller molds which I think helped with creating a firmer interior and making sure you get a good rind when dehydrating
Keep these cheese recipes coming! This one looks awesome and I have my notepad and pen ready to go! :-) I've been a vegan for almost 3 years now (was vegetarian for 22 years before that), and cheese has been the hardest thing to give up -- especially coming from a family which has been in the dairy business for over 100 years (both in the US and my grandparents' homeland, Fryslân [Netherlands]) The capital city of Fryslân, Ljouwert, has a statue of a dairy cow, "Ús mem" (our mother), which tells you how important dairy is to Frisians, both native and emigrants. Hard thing to give up, for a lot of reasons. BUT -- the dairy industry as it is now, is horrific and I want no part in it, no matter how much I love a good Frisian _nagelkaas_.
I think it would be great to have a little of the finnished dough maybe a cup or so and use just a little color in it saved bit to roll out and wrap around the outside like in the pic. It had a kind of skin on the outside and makes it look so pretty.. not that it needs it. Just an added touch for esthetics.
This looks amazing. Can this be made without using oil? It may not be possible to make successfully without coconut oil but wondering whether anyone has tried making this without oil?
yes hopefully soon :D still working on my first cookbook! Time sucks the life out of me lol it goes so fast! But yes I should have some books for you all :D
Great recipe as always. You cease to amaze and dazzle me with your creative genius. I will wait with baited breath for a ookbook to come out? Wishful thinking on my part. Hope you would one day make this wish come true.
I would suggest removing from mold and wrapping in paper toweling. Changing every 24 hours. Great recipe. I have made it and will soon try with sweet potatoes.
Yummy! I love your cheese recipes! I can't wait to give this a try! I may try this evening because it looks so amazing! Thank you so much for all the work you do and all the help you give us making vegan items!
Connie, your famiy are just so lucky to have you, I love your videos and your are such a nice person. Keep up the good work , I think the whole (veggie + non) world must be in love with you and your cooking.
Have you ever seen those plastic tofu presses you can buy, that they use in Japan to press the water out of homemade tofu? Would that be anither faster option? It's basically plastic squares with holes for drainage, and adjustable clamps.
Morning connie, it looks like I’m your student as I’m always commenting and trying your amazing recipes lol. I’m going to try this cheese tomorrow but was wondering if I could add some fresh chopped sage, we have a cheese here called derby sage and it’s one that I miss, it’s a kind of cheddar with added sage. Also just to let you also know I made your quicker ricotta cheese which came out delicious and I cut it in half and added some caramelised onion chutney to it and baked it fro about 30 minutes. It was yummy and we have eaten the lot for lunch today lol. Your recipes are the best Connie. Have a great day it’s 2 pm here. 💚
Hello again connie, my potato cheese is now wrapped in the brown paper and now I have to be patient and wait for 2 weeks, I hope I can wait that long lol. I’ll let you know. And Connie I’m telling my friends and family about you on Facebook, hope that’s ok and that I’m not breaking a law or something. We had some news today, in London a young woman has opened her own vegan cheese shop which is selling out daily and she is a new vegan, how fantastic is that? But we have all your lovely recipes, thank you thank you thank you and I bet they get their recipes from you anyway lol. Gotta be patient now lol. Your baby granddaughters sound gorgeous vegan babies it’s the way of the future, show the babies and they will follow and never be polluted with dead flesh of Gods beautiful animals. Anyway take care. 👍🤗🙏
@@christinegitsham5268 no not at all go ahead and share my channel :D I love that thank you so much! Oh that's so awesome the world is changing :D makes me very happy! Yes, the problem in cheese is waiting lol That is why when I do make it I make loads this way as I eat one...one gets to age a little more lol :D Yes my Grandaughters are amazing I do have some videos up with hem. Hopefully, I will have more of them for you. :D They were conceived and born vegan and this month coming will be 7 years old
WOW this recipe is amazing Connie! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome potato cheeze recipe. I would love to see how that other cheeze turned out and if you were going to share a recipe for the new potato cheeze as well I would be most happy. I love your channel, I love your talking videos and your channel explains everything so well. All of your recipes are amazing. I made your corned beef and it was spectacular. You rock! :)
Just when I think that you have done it all you absolutely WOW us with yet another amazing recipe!!! You are the best there is Connie. So talented and such a wonderful human being!! Love all of your recipes💜
This looks so easy! Thank you for sharing. I may have missed it, but, when storing for the aging, is it in the fridge for 2 weeks or is it aging on the counter? I'm assuming it's fridge, but I've seen some recipes which call for fermenting outside refrigeration.
Hello! Thank you for the recipe. May I ask you, what is the role of the Rejuvelac? I know that the bacteria from Rejuvelac dies at 60 Celsius, and the agar must be cooked above 100 Celsius to activate.
Such a clever person and you can feel sooo much love from the video, I am excited to try this and to explore more this channel, thank you so much for sharing it with us and helping to vegans 🕉
Connie's RAWsome kitchen I think to become a vegan is a purpose for each of us who is vegan or even flexeterian, purpose to help to the planet and to us, thank you once again🥳
please please do another update! desperately looking for fontina for his Christmas! had no luck so hoping to make my own via this recipe that also melts for raclette or fondu!! thank you so much! xxx
I never tried it :) I used to love Paneer I would make it all the time before I was vegan. But I have to say I have not used any of my cheeses as paneer. Let me know if u do give it a try
I don't use this for melting and I don't think this will. It's more for sandwiches or cubes to serve on a plater. If you want to melt use my mozarella reciepe :D
I wanted to ask please what is REJUVELAC STINKY WATER that appears in the recipe. English is not my mother language and I could not find a translation anywhere. If you could please explain what it is, I would be very happy. Thank you for the very detailed and precise explanations you give A big hug 😍
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Is it sold in stores, or do you have to do it yourself? Is there a substitute for this in case I can't get it in natural stores? With your permission, I will ask another question: How long does the cheese keep and should it be kept in the refrigerator or maybe frozen? I live alone and the grandchildren don't come every day. Thank you💖
@@conniesrawsomekitchen That would be awesome since nut prices are going up and the environmental impact of almonds/nits is disputed... could you also share the your sources of carrageenan. I am in South Africa and it is impossible to buy it in retail. I'd have to order 100kg to get it. I can get carrageenan sea moss though....
Connie's RAWsome kitchen are you able to give a hint as to extra ingredient(s)...in case I try recipe sooner than you post updated vid? Mushroom powder?🤪
Connie's RAWsome kitchen ok, so more miso and some kappa...yes to mushroom powder? You’re awesome! I really can’t wait to try this fontina. I also have to find your parmy recipe too. Follow your heart makes a really good shredded prarmy though I must say ...very authentic, I’d rather make a good one myself though.
I would say 1 week for sure but it will still not be the texture you want to get too. But edible for sure :) U will know when u try slicing it....it will slice perfect! I would say 3 weeks?? But will be doing the final video hopefully soon :D
This looks great. I would love to learn to make vegan cheese! Can I substitute something else for the agar powder though? I don't really like agar, and for some people, it makes them bloated, causes gas.
ur best bet is to make some of my raw cheeses. they don't have agar in it :) like this one ua-cam.com/video/iOtDU51fm4Q/v-deo.html or my ricotta ua-cam.com/video/Ng3uHyde1Us/v-deo.html
Love this recipe. One of your replies says to starch the cheese. Do you dust it with the tapioca starch? What is that background music, it tugs on my heartstrings. Did you finish a cookbook already?
no I would freeze it I just keep mine in the fridge to age even more :D as long as it smells cheesy ur fine if it starts to smell like something else not so good then dump it. But u want to keep aging it :D
Connie's RAWsome kitchen Well I think I’ve done something wrong making the cheese. It’s been 24 hours now and it will not pop out of the container it seems way too soft. Yours looks nice and hard when it pops out of the container. I’ve put more paper towel in it although the paper towel really wasn’t damp. I’m hoping maybe tomorrow it will pop out. I’m going to have to buy some more agar agar and give it another try. I really want this to work :-)
Connie's RAWsome kitchen awesome thank you Connie I’ve taken off the lids and I just have paper towel on top of the cheese. It still will not come out of the container. Although it taste fantastic LOL if nothing else I can use it as a cream cheese. I finally found a place out here where I can buy agar agar in Edmonton in a very tiny little organic market called Earth‘s General store it’s a wonderful little place that has all the little things that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. Have a fantastic day 😁
so it's super soft?? or does it feel firm?? if it feels somewhat firm try nudging it out. is your agar flakes or powder?? if it is flakes u will need way more than the powder. Glad u can find some of the supplies we need to make these wonderful vegan cheese :D
I cannot wait to make this!!! It looks absolutely amazing!! Just one question. I eat oil-free. Would it still work? (BTW, I grew up with Fontina cheese when in Italy. Have missed it since going vegan)
Connie, it looks scrumptious; I love fontina, can't wait to try it! I have a question. Do you let the cheese age in the fridge or in a cupboard? Thanks!
this looks really interesting and all i need is the agar agar and rejuvelac.... i was wondering if you could add the live stuff (miso and rejuvelac) after you cook and slightly cool the mixture to keep the cultures alive, would that work?
I love this. I even have almost all the ingredients. Going through try. Please do a simple meltable cheese. I make pizza every week. The most expensive ingredients is the vegan cheese
Dear Connie for your cheese making you always use Rejuvalec and call it stinkywater. Do you let the Rejuvelac stand for a long time, so that it develops this cheese smell?
it ages in the fridge I won't use it till it gets that stink lol sounds bad but it's so good lol. U will know a cheese smell to a bad smell. So make lots and let it age
Hi Connie, such an exciting recipe! I tried it last weekend, but it didn't turn out like yours. It's much more sloppy and didn't come together into a proper blob like yours. I might not have cooked it long enough. Do you think the type of potato could have anything to do with it? Will try again.
I don't think it does make a difference. but it can be fixed. by adding paper towels on top of the cheese. then slowly flip it onto something flat like a dish. And re-flp and change paper daily till the water comes out of it. See if that helps
I hope all the nice comments you got made up for the nasty ones. People can be so rude! Also, have you tried putting lactic acid in your cheeses and I've read to use olive juice in vegan cheese for some reason but cant remember what it was. Was wondering if you've tried either of these. Love your recipes!!! This is your channel. Do it the way you want to. Don't listen to the whiners and losers.
I use to make a raw version of the ricotta cheese with almonds, white miso, garlic, and scallions, though I will surely try out your recipe since it looks so good.
u should very easy and it's great. there r sooo many great recipes. try some of mine :) ua-cam.com/channels/qDp2b2CMrPN9bsn7TAch-g.htmlsearch?view_as=subscriber&query=cheese+cheeze+ try some out :)
you want it to come together almost gloppy :D and then after it firms up u pop it out of the container and u starch it and wrap it with paper. flip cheese everyday restarch and change paper as needed and when u like the firmness it is done :D enjoy
I MAKE IT WITH WHEAT BERRIES. it gets fermented and it give the cheese the probiotics it need to age the cheese. I have a video showing you how to make it
Do you have a substitute for the potato starch? I have corn starch and so many other things... I really don't want to buy another starch :) I have been watching all of your cheese videos and I've already made the Bufflo balls! Yummy!
I guess u can try I find the potato gives it that gummier feel to the cheese like rice and tapioca. But sure try and if u like how it comes out let me know
Hi Connie! Thanks for this recipe. I'm curious to see how my first batch ages in the next couple of weeks. My rejuvelac went bad so I couldn't use it, I added a bit of nutritional yeast instead. About how many minutes did you heat and stir your mixture? I wonder if I cooked mine too long-- the cheese developed small cracks as it cooled in the plastic container. Maybe this won't be an issue once it's fully unmolded and aging...
yeast is good :) I just cook till it gets thick but not too thick :D I don't think u should have a problem. U will be fine with it. Remember all this little mistakes ARE REALLY NEVR A MISTAKE BUT A LESON
You really are amazing to me, you are a genius of culinary science
TY!!!
Yes, she's a god, isn't she?

And I tasted it yesterday after the "aging". It is very tasty, but I lack the typical taste of cheese.
Today I tried to prepare a slightly different version - I started with fermented home made unfiltered vegan milk

Now the cheese is in the fridge and I will continue to report how it developed.
Thanks again for your videos you are an inspiration.

this cheese should taste more milky rather than a strong cheese but thanks for sharing your inspired cheese :D I might give that a try :D

Let's wait and see what happens.
Meanwhile these are only my culinary experiments without final conclusion...

Such a clever person and you can feel sooo much love from the video, I am excited to try this and to explore more this channel, thank you so much for sharing it with us and helping to vegans 🕉
Ur very sweet!!! Its my pleasure
Connie's RAWsome kitchen I think to become a vegan is a purpose for each of us who is vegan or even flexeterian, purpose to help to the planet and to us, thank you once again🥳
Wow!that's amazing Connie, it looks real. Especially the aged one that you made previously.
I absolutely LOVE you recipes Conny. Thank you so much fot sharing!
my pleasure thank you!
please please do another update! desperately looking for fontina for his Christmas! had no luck so hoping to make my own via this recipe that also melts for raclette or fondu!! thank you so much! xxx
Hey Connie - did you ever update this recipe? Just came across it in my saved!
here's some links ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=connie%27s+rawsome+fontina
Binge watching Connie to cheer me up today!! 😁
ur soooo sweet! thank you :D
I'm going to get the ingredients to try this. It's the first vegan cheese I've seen that looks promising! I love how you cook -- heart & hands!
Hope you like it! And thank you
Before you age it, the cheese seems to have a good consistency to replace paneer in curry
I never tried it :) I used to love Paneer I would make it all the time before I was vegan. But I have to say I have not used any of my cheeses as paneer. Let me know if u do give it a try
Hi, Connie. Instead of rejuvelac, can I use probiotics? If yes, how many? Thank you so much!
the probiotics will die while cooking so add at the end
Looks fantastic!!! What gives the cheesy taste to the blend? the "stinky water"? the miso?
This looks really delicious. Does it melt like real cheese?
I don't use this for melting and I don't think this will. It's more for sandwiches or cubes to serve on a plater. If you want to melt use my mozarella reciepe :D
Would it be a good idea to use one of those food grade moisture lock packets, like the ones you find in certain packages to help with moisture?
What is the point of the “stinky water”? Do you have a video on how to make it?
taste and smell of cheese. I do have a video. on how to make. it...But after made it needs to age. ua-cam.com/video/E1sWP3YdXsc/v-deo.html
I wanted to ask please what is REJUVELAC STINKY WATER that appears in the recipe.
English is not my mother language and I could not find a translation anywhere.
If you could please explain what it is, I would be very happy.
Thank you for the very detailed and precise explanations you give
A big hug 😍
Rejuvelac is wheat berry water that is fermented and I call it stinky water when it ages :D smells like cheese
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Is it sold in stores, or do you have to do it yourself?
Is there a substitute for this in case I can't get it in natural stores?
With your permission, I will ask another question:
How long does the cheese keep and should it be kept in the refrigerator or maybe frozen?
I live alone and the grandchildren don't come every day.
Thank you💖
Have you ever experimented with bean based cheeses? Nuts are about $20 for 1kg where I live so making these lovely cheeses comes at a great cost...
Not yet! But I will :D
@@conniesrawsomekitchen That would be awesome since nut prices are going up and the environmental impact of almonds/nits is disputed... could you also share the your sources of carrageenan. I am in South Africa and it is impossible to buy it in retail. I'd have to order 100kg to get it. I can get carrageenan sea moss though....
That looks amazing!!! Are you satisfied with the taste?
to be honest it's good but not where I want it to be...the kids loved it my daughters did too. But I want something else so working on that :D
Just watched the recipe! Can’t wait for merge of two cheese recipes ...the flavor of the other one in this texture. Awesome sauxce!
thank you :D
Connie's RAWsome kitchen are you able to give a hint as to extra ingredient(s)...in case I try recipe sooner than you post updated vid? Mushroom powder?🤪
more cheesy flavor adjusting miso is one :D but then if too much it gets to creamy and harder to set. ANd maybe try kappa
Connie's RAWsome kitchen ok, so more miso and some kappa...yes to mushroom powder? You’re awesome! I really can’t wait to try this fontina. I also have to find your parmy recipe too. Follow your heart makes a really good shredded prarmy though I must say ...very authentic, I’d rather make a good one myself though.
Hi Connie, I’m looking forward to maki g this cheese. How do you know when it’s cooked long enough. Thank you,
it gets thick like the beginning of custard :D
It looks great! Total of how many days in the fridge before you use it?
I would say 1 week for sure but it will still not be the texture you want to get too. But edible for sure :) U will know when u try slicing it....it will slice perfect! I would say 3 weeks?? But will be doing the final video hopefully soon :D
Connie's RAWsome kitchen thank you for answering me :)
Cooking starts at 9:00
Hey you are just great!!! Thank You! Please tell me. Do you think I can keep aging my cheese for 3 weeks or more?
Connie, how long do I cook the mixture for?
just till u see it get nice and thick like a pudding :)
@@conniesrawsomekitchen thank you so much 💜
Thank you for found this channel. I'm allergic to all kinds of milk and nuts. This is made from potatoes. it's awesome
Hope you enjoy and welcome!!
For the aging process, should it age inside or outside the fridge? Thank you so much for the recipe, really inspiring!
I do it in the fridge :D and my pleasure :D
This looks great. I would love to learn to make vegan cheese! Can I substitute something else for the agar powder though? I don't really like agar, and for some people, it makes them bloated, causes gas.
ur best bet is to make some of my raw cheeses. they don't have agar in it :) like this one ua-cam.com/video/iOtDU51fm4Q/v-deo.html or my ricotta ua-cam.com/video/Ng3uHyde1Us/v-deo.html
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Thank you!
Have missed your channel! My FIRST ever vegan channel!
Yay! Thank you! :D
wow! what is V-milk? and where do you get these ideas from woman!? So creative!
thank you :) v-milk is any non dairy milk like almond or soy
Love this recipe. One of your replies says to starch the cheese. Do you dust it with the tapioca starch? What is that background music, it tugs on my heartstrings. Did you finish a cookbook already?
HOW CAN WE MAKE IT THE IS A BIT MORE CREAMIER, NOT SO MUCH GELATINOUS, AS I TOLD BEFORE, YOU ARE AMAZING!!
Hi Connie. I made this just now. Question, I have enough rejoulvax to last forever. Can I freeze it, or will that ruin it?
no I would freeze it I just keep mine in the fridge to age even more :D as long as it smells cheesy ur fine if it starts to smell like something else not so good then dump it. But u want to keep aging it :D
Connie's RAWsome kitchen
Well I think I’ve done something wrong making the cheese. It’s been 24 hours now and it will not pop out of the container it seems way too soft. Yours looks nice and hard when it pops out of the container. I’ve put more paper towel in it although the paper towel really wasn’t damp. I’m hoping maybe tomorrow it will pop out. I’m going to have to buy some more agar agar and give it another try. I really want this to work :-)
wait a day or two longer just put paper with no lid on the cheese or even better leave it uncovered for a day see if it will come out for u
Connie's RAWsome kitchen awesome thank you Connie I’ve taken off the lids and I just have paper towel on top of the cheese. It still will not come out of the container. Although it taste fantastic LOL if nothing else I can use it as a cream cheese. I finally found a place out here where I can buy agar agar in Edmonton in a very tiny little organic market called Earth‘s General store it’s a wonderful little place that has all the little things that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. Have a fantastic day 😁
so it's super soft?? or does it feel firm?? if it feels somewhat firm try nudging it out. is your agar flakes or powder?? if it is flakes u will need way more than the powder. Glad u can find some of the supplies we need to make these wonderful vegan cheese :D
I cannot wait to make this!!! It looks absolutely amazing!! Just one question. I eat oil-free. Would it still work? (BTW, I grew up with Fontina cheese when in Italy. Have missed it since going vegan)
I have never made with outout the fat. I wish I can answer you.
@@conniesrawsomekitchen Thank you for your response. I made it with the oil...DELICIOUS!!
Connie, it looks scrumptious; I love fontina, can't wait to try it! I have a question. Do you let the cheese age in the fridge or in a cupboard? Thanks!
In the fridge :D
Hallo Connie. great recipy! I was wondering, do you age the cheese in the fridge?
Just loved this video! thanks for showing the instructions with nice music.
my pleasure :) thank you!
this looks really interesting and all i need is the agar agar and rejuvelac.... i was wondering if you could add the live stuff (miso and rejuvelac) after you cook and slightly cool the mixture to keep the cultures alive, would that work?
u can try
Hi, could I leave out the carrageenan?
carrageenan is what congeals it
Ok thanks
I use strong kombucha for cream cheese can I use that in place of rejuvelac? Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!!
Yes, absolutely
U amaze me with your skill for texture and likeness, as in your mock roast beef!
thank you Jane!!!
Wonderful--healthy and humane! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you too! :D
I love this. I even have almost all the ingredients. Going through try.
Please do a simple meltable cheese. I make pizza every week. The most expensive ingredients is the vegan cheese
Connie, you are such an inspiration! I was skeptical about potatoes in vegan cheese recipes until I saw this one.
thank you :) it's about that perfect balance :) have u tried rice cheese??
no, I haven't tried any rice cheese. But I saw you've got a meltable rice cheese. Gotta try it! Tks
I have many cheese recipes :D my fav are my aged ones :D sooooo good :D I love strong cheese so they are my fav!
Will it change the taste/texture completely if I switch out the agar for the Kappa Carageenan?
Wow this looks delicious Thank you for sharing I ll be waiting for your next ones Have a Bless day!💕🙅
Blessings to you too :)
Dear Connie
for your cheese making you always use Rejuvalec and call it stinkywater. Do you let the Rejuvelac stand for a long time, so that it develops this cheese smell?
it ages in the fridge I won't use it till it gets that stink lol sounds bad but it's so good lol. U will know a cheese smell to a bad smell. So make lots and let it age
Thanks for your quick reply. How long will it take to be stinky? 😉
Connie's RAWsome kitchen Do you have a recipe? I have looked on line and found some. Trying my hand at Rejuvelac!
Dear Connie - when to put the lemon juice in? whenever og is it trickier than that?
Mam what is v-milk and tapiocca starch?
Hi Connie, such an exciting recipe! I tried it last weekend, but it didn't turn out like yours. It's much more sloppy and didn't come together into a proper blob like yours. I might not have cooked it long enough. Do you think the type of potato could have anything to do with it? Will try again.
I don't think it does make a difference. but it can be fixed. by adding paper towels on top of the cheese. then slowly flip it onto something flat like a dish. And re-flp and change paper daily till the water comes out of it. See if that helps
I hope all the nice comments you got made up for the nasty ones. People can be so rude!
Also, have you tried putting lactic acid in your cheeses and I've read to use olive juice in
vegan cheese for some reason but cant remember what it was. Was wondering if you've tried either of these. Love your recipes!!! This is your channel. Do it the way you want to. Don't listen to the whiners and losers.
it does thank you :) and yes I have used te lactic and olive juice :D I make the best black olive cheese will have to share one day
This cheese looks awesome! You are definitely the cheese wiz, Connie! Thanks for sharing
thanks :D hope u give it a try :D
I will I will, I have already tried your carrageenan mozzarella and its great!
thank you! try my ricotta :D to die for!
I use to make a raw version of the ricotta cheese with almonds, white miso, garlic, and scallions, though I will surely try out your recipe since it looks so good.
Connie, we're keeping it in the fridge while it's aging right?
yes it helps form a skin and remove moisture :)
Connie's RAWsome kitchen thanks so much Connie
my pleasure :D
Connie is there anything that I can use in place of the tapioca starch? (I'm allergic)
Hi! This is an incredible recipe! Can I replace coconut oil? thanks!
OMG I am really impressed! You're amazing :)
Being from Wisconsin , I love cheese !!! Being lactose intolerant makes me want to make my own vegan cheese !! /:)
u should very easy and it's great. there r sooo many great recipes. try some of mine :) ua-cam.com/channels/qDp2b2CMrPN9bsn7TAch-g.htmlsearch?view_as=subscriber&query=cheese+cheeze+ try some out :)
Cheese ist mainly lactose free
This looks amazing! Just wondering how long you cook/ stir the mixture for? Also at which stage do you wrap it in brown paper? Many thanks :)
you want it to come together almost gloppy :D and then after it firms up u pop it out of the container and u starch it and wrap it with paper. flip cheese everyday restarch and change paper as needed and when u like the firmness it is done :D enjoy
What is rejuvelac water? Thank you 😊
I MAKE IT WITH WHEAT BERRIES. it gets fermented and it give the cheese the probiotics it need to age the cheese. I have a video showing you how to make it
@@conniesrawsomekitchen
Thanks 😊
Do you have a substitute for the potato starch? I have corn starch and so many other things... I really don't want to buy another starch :) I have been watching all of your cheese videos and I've already made the Bufflo balls! Yummy!
I guess u can try I find the potato gives it that gummier feel to the cheese like rice and tapioca. But sure try and if u like how it comes out let me know
Anything that can substitute the oil? It looks so yummy!
you need fat in cheese even if it's vegan
Hi Connie! Thanks for this recipe.
I'm curious to see how my first batch ages in the next couple of weeks.
My rejuvelac went bad so I couldn't use it, I added a bit of nutritional yeast instead.
About how many minutes did you heat and stir your mixture?
I wonder if I cooked mine too long-- the cheese developed small cracks as it cooled in the plastic container. Maybe this won't be an issue once it's fully unmolded and aging...
yeast is good :) I just cook till it gets thick but not too thick :D I don't think u should have a problem. U will be fine with it. Remember all this little mistakes ARE REALLY NEVR A MISTAKE BUT A LESON
I also added a pinch of turmeric for color...
: )
and it's healthy for you :D
