1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1.5 teaspoons cornstarch

A vegan cheese delicious and fragrant, created by a young Canadian Vegan Chef: The Buddhist Chef.

Try it and you won't go wrong! The fans of traditional cheese will appreciate it, too: one more reason and one less excuse to go vegan! :-)

Soak the cashews for at least an hour (4 are better).

Mix in a food processor with the basil, oregano, salt, cornstarch, garlic, nutritional yeast flakes, lemon juice (or apple vinegar), maple syrup and half cup of water.

In a saucepan pour the other half a cup of water with a teaspoon and a half of agar agar powder, add the cashew juice with herbs and bring to a boil on low heat for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously.

Grease a small bowl and pour the mixture.

Let cool for at least a couple of hours and your cheese is ready!

Bon Appétit!

P.s.: You can keep it in the fridge for a few days.
