Vegan Pepper Jack Cheese with Almond Milk. Glutenfree Recipe - Vegan Richa (1)

Eek. We are finally moved from blogger to WordPress. New theme, new platform and new everything. And while I try to learn the ropes on this, there might some hitches and delays here and there. First post published!

The feed got refreshed, so if you subscribe by email, I apologize for the extra email with the recent posts. The subscription mails have now returned to normal frequency ie. one email per post. I plan to change it to a weekly newsletter in the future to reduce the number of mails.

A quick post today with this Easy Vegan Pepper Jack Cheese. This vegan cheese has almond milk, starches and agar to thicken and stretch, Chickpea flour for taste and texture and voila! You can also make this with coconut milk or cashew milk. The cheese with cashew milk will be whiter on melting. The almond milk cheese shreds with a large grater! Use it on a Pizza or grilled Sammie.

Even writing up the post is a learning process. The dang editor. Any who, while you all are here, please browse around the site, report any issues in the comments on the post, or on my Facebook page and let me know what you think :).

The site move was accomplished with the least amount of my hair graying with the help of Rika (veganmiam.com). Rika under Rika Studio also does web design, WordPress customizations or transfer and consulting. She is still helping me out night and day with the learning curve! I cannot recommend her enough!
