Vegan cheese?

So I'm not quite 100% vegan, but I refuse to eat pure-dairy cheese. I opt for the "dairy-free" cheese, even though it's got casein in it; but only because I can't find any other cheese that's closer to vegan than that one! If anyone knows of REAL vegan cheese that's not impossibly hard to get and/or expensive, PLEASE let me know!

" Yep- Follow your heart. They have Mozzarella, Cheddar, Nacho, and Montrey Jack. It's delicious and melts. The also sell this at Wiggins. This is the only vegan cheese I use but what about Rice cheese? I've never tried it as I don't enjoy rice dream products. "

" Look for sheeze. It's fab. you can get it online at veganessentials.com. Hopefully it won't take 2 weeks for you americans! But the wait will be worth it! I have tried many types of vegan cheese and this is the best. A little goes a long way! "

" Tofutti brand makes vegan cheese. It has a creamy texture, but sort of a strong flavor. I like to use it in sandwiches as opposed to just eating it plain. Tofutti also makes great ice cream! I try to avoid casein because I don't tolerate it very well. "

" Does anyone know any really good recipes for making your own vegan cheese at home? The one time I tried it, using a recipe off the Net, I was so traumatized I still shudder when I think about it. "

" I think it's a bit risky to try to make your own at home. I'd rather buy it from a store, when I can find it. Btw, I used the tofutti cheese for making a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch today and it melted beautifully. Tasted good too! "

" The problem w/the recipe I tried at home was that it got its orange color from pimientoes, which in my opinion are solid proof of the existence of evil. I kidded myself that they only had me use enough for color, not flavor, but I was so wrong! "
