Moskowitz was one of the first “cool” evangelists for vegan food, starting first with her Brooklyn Public Access show “Post Punk Kitchen.” That led to a successful website, which in turn led to huge success as a cookbook author (she currently has 10, ranging from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World to Vegan Brunch).īut opening a restaurant was always an ultimate goal. The goal is to expose people to vegan food.” “I really like that we can make vegans happy, but that’s a side effect. “It’s 100 percent catering to meat eaters,” she says of her target audience.
In fact, it’s not really even a restaurant for vegans.
Modern Love is not vegan for the fainthearted. There is, however, one major difference between these dishes and those of Moskowitz’s youth: They’re all vegan. And, of course, Italian staples like fried mozzarella, eggplant-olive lasagna, and risotto carbonara are just a few of the red sauce favorites that make an appearance. There’s classic American, as seen in the BLT-avocado sandwich, served on grilled garlic bread. There is Greek, like the phyllo spinach pie punched up with dill, lemon, and tahini. These prices may be different in your area or may change over time.When chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz opened her first restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska, Modern Love, she knew she wanted the food of her Brooklyn childhood reflected on its menu pages. * Note: Prices are based on in-store prices in South Florida in January 2023. However, most people who are already vegan would find every cheese on this list good enough to make a yummy pizza. The Miyoko's cheeses are better options for the gourmet or clean-eating crowd, while junk-food lovers will enjoy the Follow Your Heart shreds.Īnd the bottom three cheeses are still quite good, but might be off-putting to non-vegans because they have a bit more of that artificial vegan cheese flavor. Both of the Miyoko's and the Follow Your Heart would all be good options to serve to vegans and non-vegans alike. The top three non-dairy cheeses on this list are all very good. It was a little difficult to differentiate the cheeses from one another because in many ways, they were so similar. The cheeses in this test all have a mild flavor, and overall, the flavor of the sauce stood out more than any of the cheeses. Price per 28 g.: $0.49 (lower than average) Best Gourmet Cheese: Miyoko's Organic Cashew Milk Mozzarella However, you do need to use the bottle within 14 days of opening, so it may not be as cost-effective if you end up throwing out most of the bottle.Īnother bonus for this cheese is that it's organic and made without highly processed ingredients, so I feel good about eating it.Ģ. There's enough liquid cheese in the bottle to make 6 or 7 small (10-inch) pizzas.
On a per-ounce basis, this cheese is the least expensive of all the cheeses on this list. The pizza made with this cheese is absolutely delicious, and we would happily devour it. While the cheese itself is very good, judging it as a whole pizza improves our opinion of it. And veggie pizzas are the best pizzas (in my opinion) anyway. With more toppings, I think you might not even notice that the Miyoko's liquid isn't actually real cheese. Winner: Miyoko's Liquid Vegan Pizza Mozzarellaīecause of the texture and mild flavor, I'd personally use this cheese alongside some other toppings, rather than on a plain cheese pizza. And my homemade version even has more stretch than the Miyoko's cheese. If you don't have these dairy-free cheeses available to you in your area, or maybe you just prefer to make your own, you can do that with delicious results! My vegan cashew mozzarella cheese performs very similarly to the Miyoko's Cashew Milk Mozzarella in terms of melt and flavor. The Daiya does advertise that it's made with chickpeas, however "chickpea protein" is pretty low on the ingredient list, so I wouldn't call it a base. The remaining four cheeses have bases of oil and starch. The Miyoko's cheeses are both cashew-based, which makes them unique in these tests. Vegan Cheese Similarities and Differences However my friend who helped me taste test these pizzas tasted them blindly, without knowing which cheese she was eating. Since I made these pizzas myself, I knew which cheese I was eating when I tasted it.
So if your oven can reach 550☏, I'd definitely use that temperature to bake your pizzas with vegan cheese. At this temperature, every vegan cheese passed the melt test very nicely. The pizzas were baked on vented pizza pans at 550☏ (290☌) for 7 minutes.
