There were a few “dairy” products at specialty grocers that I tried, but they were full of weird chemicals and reminded me of something closer to rubber than melty cheese. I pretended not to miss the creaminess of ice cream and soft French Brie. In those early days my diet was a confused mix of mostly vegetables, chickpeas, and too much gelatin-free candy. And all those easy breakfasts of scrambled eggs, fruit and yogurt, and buttery toast, well, they were off the table as well. In the beginning, I was lost without my favorite flavor boosting ingredients a tangy feta, a creamy Greek yogurt, or a funky acidic buttermilk. The process is meditative, tactile, calming, and a creative outlet. I’ve been cooking and baking since I could see over the stove. As a longtime vegetarian with cheese as a primary food group, it was finally time to break up with it. Back in 2009, long before terms like plant-based, Veganuary, and anything “Impossible,” I went vegan.
