I love to make cashew cheese because it has the same fat contents as dairy cream. It is rich and filling like dairy cheese, and very tasty. It develops a crust when kept in cheesecloth and stays soft and fresh for months.
I just keep an eye on worldwide child labor used to harvest cashew nuts, it worries me.
I am willing to pay more for cashew nuts if there was global certification.
Wintercarrots are delicious when grilled with cheese. They make a full and filling dinner with lemon pepper harissa and garlic confit oil. Here is how I make it.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
