This recipe for vegan cottage cheese (Ela Vegan) is ideal to replicate the popular tub of low-fat cheese, usually served with chives on baked potatoes. All you do is mix firm crumbled tofu with vegan yoghurt, spices, vinegar and chives. You can add optional cheesy-tasting nutritional yeast, then season with salt and pepper.
Avoid unpasteurised miso and cultures for blue cheese during pregnancy/nursing and for weak immune systems (including children). Keep nuts (macadamia, cashews, almonds) away from children and pets. Read more on food safety for people and pets.
