Apparently cheese has a substance in it that's addictive. The longer you stay away from it, the less you'll crave it (in my experience).

That said, vegan cheeses are improving, and your tastebuds change over time, too. Things I used to think were weird, I now LOVE. I like but don't love Follow Your Heart Cheese, and really actively like Daiya shredded cheese. It melts, although it doesn't stretch, and I like the taste, especially in quesadillas, which I guess I don't eat much now because the tortillas are not a good use of my limited calories.

Agree that vegweb has tons of good recipes, with lots of reviews.

I certainly agree that tastes change once all dairy is eliminated. I had gradually eliminated dairy from my diet over several years. Wish I had done it completely sooner.

Also one has to ask if your taste is worth their suffering.

I'm not vegan but I use vegan substitutes whenever possible. Cheese is tough. I like Sunergia Soy Feta cheese as a substitute for feta, it's really good. I also like tofutti cream cheese product and can't tell the difference between it and dairy cream cheese. But those are the only two cheeses that I've had luck with. When it comes to cheddar or other hard cheeses, I've not found any that I could eat more than one bite.
