<\/p>\nWhen you feel satisfied by a little hunk of “cheese” you\u2019ll to stick to your healthy eating or raw food diet without
\nfeeling deprived.<\/p>\n
Going on a detox does not mean you have to give up “cheese.” In fact, the addition of raw vegan nut cheeses can give your salad a much needed protein boost and ward off hunger pangs with healthy fats. Summer is the perfect time to make cheeses, kimchi yogurt or any other fermented product. Just make sure you use a glass bowl and stay away from plastic or metal bowls because metal interferes with the fermentation and plastic can leach chemicals into your food and harbor germs.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s Winter in your part of the world, then you can ferment your raw \u201ccheese\u201d in the oven with just the oven light on. This will provide enough warmth. Otherwise, those 30 degree summer days are perfect for letting the magic of fermentation happen right there on your kitchen bench. Many people use cheese cloth to squeeze out the extra moisture after blending the nuts. But with my method you won\u2019t need any of that messy stuff. Really I decided to make my cheeses this way because I didn\u2019t want my nut bag colored or flavored with the cheese as it fermented and released its water. I like my nut bag to remain clean for making my almond milk. Yes, I know there is washing and I could have a dedicated cheesecloth, but this works well enough for me. Don\u2019t be in a hurry when making this beautiful cheese.<\/em> It\u2019s not labor intensive but it does require time. I usually wait two days until I think my cheese is \u2018ripe\u2019. It\u2019s quite quick when you compare it to regular cheeses which take many months to years until they are considered \u2018ripe\u2019 enough to eat.<\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Natalie’s zucchini crackers with this recipe<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n By Natalie Prigoone<\/p>\n Natalie Prigoone is the author of\u00a0The Great Uncooking<\/a><\/em>\u00a0a raw food detox book and\u00a0A Piece of Cake: Easy Raw Desserts.<\/a><\/em>\u00a0She is a yoga teacher, high school teacher and raw food chef.
