Winner! Beth from Whiny Vegans, who said, “I’d love some vegan cheese with my whine!”
***************************************************************
This book is hot like gooey melted havarti, and the internet is abuzz talking about it (of course we are, vegans always talk about cheese). Lucky for you ‘cuz The Book Publishing Company has offered to giveaway a free copy to one of you lucky, lucky people.
This book has pretty much changed my life in the cheese missing department.
I’ve spent some quality one on one time with this book, and I think it’s an absolute keeper. So far I’ve made the fresh mozzarella twice, air dried cheddar, sharp cheddar, pub cheddar, yogurt cheese, air dried gouda, cashew yogurt and the quinoa rejuvelac a few times over.
If you can afford cashews (or have a cashew sugar daddy/momma/person), like cultured food, know where to find carageenan or agar powder, are a mad scientist in the kitchen and are a very, very patient person, then this book is for you! Or, if you’d like to read more details about this book, or are looking for a good bedtime story, I wrote an unsolicited review last month on my own patch of the Internet.
How I love thee, cheese on bread. <3
A caveat…this giveaway is open to addresses in the US only. Sorry to our worldwide cheese craving neighbors, but y’all know shipping is expensive and times, they’re tough.
For a chance to win, simply leave a cheesy comment on this post before Sunday, October 14th 9PM Pacific time, and I’ll pick a random comment on Sunday evening.
ETA: Please make sure you leave a way to get in contact with you. I’m noticing a lot of the comments don’t link anywhere, and my Vegan GPS locator is in the shop!

This cheese cookbook would go great with my Papa Tofu Ethiopian Zine :)
I’d love to try making the fresh mozzarella for vegan caprese salads!
I really want to try this. I want to start experimenting a bit more with fermenting foods, this would be a great place to start.
Hmm, this may not be the book for me since I’m not a “very, very patient person”, but I’d still love to try it out!
Maybe a little patient?
I can be a little patient if the reward is vegan cheese. :)
Hi! I love vegan MoFo! It always inspires me to cook lots of yummy vegan foods. Vegan cheese is not an oxymoron — indeed, it is super good and healthy, too.
Thanks,
Kim
Oh, I’ve been dreaming of this book!!! I gotta have it. No, you don’t understand. I GOTTA fulfill my vegan cheese dreams. I *GOTTA*!
I live in Wisconsin, land of the cheesehead. I’ve really wanted to start making my own vegan cheese, to share with my dairy eating friends. To let them know, there is delicious flavor, that comes with compassion.
oh my. i’ve been wanting this book so badly. i am totally intrigued by the air dried cheeses!
It’s not easy being cheezy….
need cheese in ma life!
I’m so conflicted about this cookbook. The recipes sound great, but I’m not confident about starting multiple step recipes. I worry I won’t be able to do the latter steps. But still, the cheeses look so good…
I think you’ll be OK. Some of the steps give you a day or so to get to them. For instance one or two of the cheeses I cultured earlier or later depending on my availability. The time needed is pretty short in between steps, too.
My resolve is crumbling.
My life will be so much better with this book in hand!
One of the HARDEST parts of trying to be vegan for me and my family has been giving up cheese. I would love to have this cookbook to help and curb our cravings!!
I want to be a mad scientist in the kitchen! Mwahahahaha!
OH CHEESE!! HOW I MISS YOU!!! I cannot consume any cheese or dairy because of what essentially is a food allergy. I have rosacea and cheese is my main offender. If I eat any amount of cheese, my face pays the price . I would love love love this book! Here’s hoping!:)
I’d be pleased to be cheesed!
How exciting to make some delicious cheeses for scrumptious dishes- all cruelty-free! Yay!
Really looking forward to trying this.
i read your review and ever since cannot stop thinking about all those delicious cheeses! i NEED this book.
I LOVE CHEESE! Vegan cheese, that it. I used to love all cheese and was afraid I’d be tempted to cheat with cheese once I went vegan, but I’m surprised that has not been the case. Partly because I think cheese would be the gateway food to my vegan undoing, and we can’t have that. Therefore good vegan cheese is a must!
I would love to make my own cheese so it would be more affordable!
Kittee, if you recommend it then it’s definitely worth trying.
Omigosh, I’m so intrigued by this book! Cheese was, in fact, my favorite food before I went vegan, and I can live just fine without it, but it WOULD be nice to learn how to concoct some yummy, dairy-free, cheezy treats for whenever a craving arises : )
Here’s a cheesy little poem…
Cheese o cheese,
I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please
to be mine.
Cheese o cheese,
I don’t want you to moo,
But if you cashew,
that’s just fine.
I’ve heard so much about this book. Hope it lives up to its hype. And I love you, kittee! (that was the cheesy part)
<3 you made me blush.
i gave my boyfriend an old copy of the classic vegan cheese cookbook. it’s time to upgrade
I’m Wisconsin born and bred – we bleed cheese (and green and gold). When I went vegan, cheese was the one thing I missed the most and struggled with not having. I’m not a big fan of the store-bought versions of fake cheese, so I’d love to give these recipes a whirl and share the cheesy goodness of vegan cheese with my non-veg friends! :)
Seconded! I’m from Minnesota, and pretty much spend all of my time trying to fill the cheese-shaped hole in my heart.
I want this book so bad!!! Give me some vegan cheese please!!! If you give this I me, I’ll make my own!!! Woot woot
Oh man, I am VERY excited about this giveaway! I tried two of the recipes from the feature in VegNews, and I’m in love. This book is already on my holiday wish list but I’d love to win a copy!
I’ve heard SO much about this book… MUST HAVE.
Random comment. (I win!)
I love Miyoko’s recipes that were in VegNews (I just had a bagel with the cream cheese this morning!), so I have been wanting to get this book.
I saw a review of this book a week or so ago and SO want it to be mine ALL MINE!
Here’s cheesy for you:
Ouch! My tooth hurts! [Why?] Because you are soooo sweet!
Thanks for the giveaway!
A CHEESY HAIKU
How I long for you
Thou Artisan Vegan Cheese
I hope to win you
I have been coveting this book! I would love to win and start whipping up some cheesy creations!
I want this book! I’ve been slowly stockpiling cashews since I read your review a few weeks ago. I’ll probably buy it after MoFo, but it would be great to save a few dollars if I win it here instead. :)
it’s a singing comment:
Cheese, glorious cheese…. we miss it no ki-ding
We’d eat it all day……. yes, we are so wi-lling
just give some on some bread, cracker or chip-pie…
I’ll scarf it up real quick, and return to chil-ling….
It’s cheese, marvelous cheese, fabulous cheese won-der-ful cheeseeeeeeeeeeese….. yah!
Really want a copy of this book-none of the vegan cheeses on the market cut it for me, and I’m on a mission! Seen a lot of successful recipes using cheeses from this book around so it looks hopeful!
Oh man, you folks at Vegan MoFo are way too good to us! I’d love to win this book and test out all of the cheeses, maybe force feed them to my omnivore boyfriend and see what he thinks. ;)
Me + cheese = BFF / TLF
<3
I’ve been desperately wanting to try the recipes in this book. I miss cheese and don’t love any of the vegan cheeses on the market.
I enjoy free things.
Vegan cheese? Yes, please! (No, seriously…please??? I would love to win this book!) Thank you :)
ack! I’ve been wanting this book for a while now! I love fermented foods, and nut cheese is one of the few things I haven’t tried fermenting yet.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease, please, can I have some vegan cheese?
Your picture is sharp! LOL! (ok, I’m bad at cheesy jokes!) Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
just spent a couple of hours touring thru Kittee’s blog and almost forgot to comment! Cheeze puleeze! Hugs!
changed the blog address – don’t know how it did that weird thing!
I’m trying a macadamia “ricotta” tonight. Would LOVE to try some new recipes. I’m a newbie vegan, and have eliminated all animal products from my household, much to the shegrin of my husband and six sons. They’re really missing cheese. Help a vegan momma out! :) :) :) https://www.facebook.com/rebeccahefner84
I tried some of Miyoko’s cheeses at a demo she did a few years ago. They were so good! I’ve been waiting for this book to get my hands on more of her recipes. Congrats to her for releasing this book!
Oh boy, this book sure does look like the best thing since sliced.. cheese. :/
Seriously though, I’ve been wanting to make my own vegan cheeses for ages. This looks awesome!
I’ve made hard vegan cheese but once, and my boyfriend went crazy for it!
I’d love a copy! I haven’t attempted vegan cheese yet, but this book will give me the confidence to do it.
Hmm, I don’t really have a cheesy comment. But I like cheese. And would like to learn how to make vegan cheese. So this is really just an ode to vegan cheese. There ya go.
Been craving Artisan Vegan Cheese since I saw the review, with a few tempting sample recipes, in Sept/Oct VEGNEWS.. Wheatberries on my shopping list this weekend to make rejuvelac so I can culture the Swiss recipe from the magazine for a MoFo posting sometime this month. Come home to mommy, oh Vegan Cheese book of mine. You will not be neglected!
Vegan cheese=improving the staff of life with every slice.
Artisan Vegan Cheese: Vegans never had it so gouda!
Or: You cheddar believe that cultured food makes you sharp!
I’m not very patient either, but I still want to try the recipes from this book. I have the cream cheese bookmarked already!
OOOh this is in my amazon wishlist. I’m very faux-cheese curious.
Oh, boy I would love this book to be my first official vegan cookbook!
If these vegan cheese recipes are as goudas the hype surrounding them, I will daiya happy lady.
;]
this book will make it easier to veganize my daughter’s school. We are the only vegans! Thereare some vegetarians. They just need some good cheese!
This corn isn’t cheesy… it’s corny!
What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese!
I wasn’t sure if you meant “cheesy” joke or just about cheese. Incidentally, I love both.
Oh, I need this book… The vegan, food-loving, mad scientist in me needs this book!
*evil laugh*
The book sounds pretty gouda to me! ;-)
Just made cashew cheese for the first time today and think this is the start of a beautiful friendship :)
Cheeze Louise, pick me!
Joke: What happened after an explosion at a French cheese factory?
Hit: All that was left was de brie.
I would love to make this cheese!
My kids are so excited about making our own vegan cheese. Win or not, I will have this cookbook.
Did you hear about the explosion at the French cheese factory? All that was left was de Brie! That was a funny one, non?
I need cheese. It calls to me!
Cheeeeese Please!!!!!!!!
Is that cheese in your calzone, or are you just happy to see me?
<3
My friend told me about this book… it apparently bleu her away! :P
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lactose intollerance be dammed! I will make my own cheese. A vegan cheese that will bring joy to animals and the hungry.
I’d love to give cheese a chance!
Cheese please.
cheese!!!! gooey yummy cheese.
This book looks beyond amazing!
I love cheese so much I would marry it. I would take a bath in vegan nacho cheese if it would not clog up my drain. truth.
ms_miss_chele@yahoo.com
I would love to be able to make my own fresh mozzarellla since — so far– I’ve been disappointed with the vegan choices that are near me :-(

Here’s the truth: Last weekend I went to Pure Food & Wine for my 15yr anniversary dinner w/ my bf (high school sweethearts, awww!) & we ordered the Dr. Cow Nut Cheese appetizer. It was so fantastic that the two of us looked at each other yesterday & simultaneously (almost) shouted “I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT VEGAN CHEESE!”
I want to be able to shout those words every single day.
Sanity be damned.
Got cheeze? No, I don’t. That’s why I need this book.
This book looks to dayia for! I’d love it!
Gimme the cheeze!
I would love this book as much as the man on the moon might. Get it? Because it looks like cheese?
I NEED THIS!!! I have a picky little omni girl and cheese is her only way of life! I’ve tried every version of Mac&Cheeze & the only thing she wants is that awful blue box. My baby won’t touch Daiya to save her life! If I can make something that would satisfy her then I’d be in heaven!
Thank you!
Dreaming of a vegan version of spicy “pepper jack” cheese to cover my black beans.
Your wish is my command, I’m at Vedged Out now, but I posted this baby when I was blogging at Good Clean Food: http://goodcleanfood.wordpress.com/2012/07/10/vegan-pepper-jack-cashew-cheez-and-pamonas-pectin-giveaway/
my biggest challenge in going vegan is cheese……
Would love to win this copy, have been meaning to pick this book up! I made a couple of its recipes from vegnews and loved them!
I’d love this to start my vegan cookbook collection!!!
Oh how I`d love to have that book. Ever since I saw your “mozzarella” and “cheddar” post, me and my other (non-vegan) family are dreaming of summerly caprese salad and hearty cheese casseroles.
And buying vegan cheese alternatives, that aren`t polluted with things like palm oil (like the NoMuh cheeses-> they aren’t :D), is pretty expensive..
Cheeesly dreams to everyone,
Nora ;p
holeyswisscheesery! I just peeked at the recipe list in this book and found so many yumful recipes. Not just a zillion how-to-make-cheese recipes, but what to do with them, like Buckwheat Blintzes with Cream Cheese and Caramelized Apples. Be still my cheesy heart. :)
I’ve wanted this book since I first heard about it! Would absolutely love to make delicious vegan cheeses myself.
Because I’ve all ready mastered smoked gouda (on my blog next week) but I need that cheddar in my life now dagnabbit! p.s. can you tell how patient I am?
I’ve been wanting a copy of this book forever. Woohoo!
I like Santa Claus.
If you could see the facial expression that goes with that statement, you would realize just how cheesy it is.
Regarding the book…I almost always have raw cashews in my cupboard.
Dawn, is this a Christmas Story reference? Are you wearing pilot goggles while saying that you like Santa Claus? :)
Why, yes. Yes, it is. I love yo
u, Cara Reed. I also like the tin man
I KNEW IT! You are my kindred spirit, friend!
I love cheese! I need this cookbook :-)
Courtney
I love making vegan cheese at home! Have heard great things about this book and would love to add it to my shelf!
My cashew sugar daddy just bought me a cheez cloth,which is a shmata for vegan havarti.
My nut daddy said when he met me I would love to cashew, in Brazil.
I kicked him in the nuts.
Miyoko Schinner just made being vegan so much easier. We’ll never hear “I just can’t give up cheese” ever again! Thanks Miyoko
Miyoko Schinner just made being vegan so much easier. We’ll never hear “I just can’t give up cheese” ever again. Thanks Miyoko!
contact me at https://www.facebook.com/maryann.peters
If I win this book I will go broke buying cashews and it will be so so worth it.
I’ve been eyeing this book for what seems like AGES! I have plans to do a vegan cheese-making workshop very soon, and this is like a whole new level of vegan cheese-ness that will make it so much more interesting! I’m also so excited to share with my new-to-being-vegan friends, who struggle with giving up cheese. So much thanks to Miyoko Schinner for putting in the effort on something so game changing! xoxo
This is quacktastic! Pick me! Pick me! This book has been sitting in my Amazon account, waiting for money to magically appear so I can buy it :)
I need this book to make my own cream cheese! I hear its pretty close in flavor and texture to the dairy version.
Oh man I was thinking about purchasing a vegan cheese cookbook recently, but I talked myself out of it. I have made cashew/agar cheese before and I love it on pizza. I would love to learn what other creative cheese replacements there are :)
OMG! My special US adress is SO ready for you, little book!!
I was so hungry this morning after working out and not having breakfast until nearly noon that I made a HUGE bowl of whole wheat pasta, steamed kale, n-yeast, salt, and grated vegan cheese that melted into a totally satisfying goo. I think I may be making this for breakfast more often. Non-dairy cheeses have come a long, looooong way in recent years. Amen for that!
What kind of cheese is made backwards?
Edam!
Every time I see this book on a blog, I salivate. This may mean that, when Vegan MoFo ends, I’ll just have to buy myself a copy!
What do you say before your picture is taken?
“Wait, I have to fix my hair?”
NO!, you say “CHEESE!”
say cheeze!
After reading the VegNews feature on vegan cheese, I’ve been OBSESSED with trying my hand at cheesemaking–namely, vegan buffalo mozzarella. I would be utterly speechless to win this book.
Mmmmm….salty fat
I’ve never really tried making my own. This would be so cool since I hate using expensive processed stuff.
In honor of Halloween I would love a book to help make scream cheese, or monster cheese.
I would love to get this book! My sister recently converted to veganism (yay!) and I think this would make a great present for her.
cheeeeeeeeezy!! hoboy!
A cheesy comment? Ummm….So far my favorite vegan cheese is Follow Your Heart, but I would love to try making my own.
Oh, just in case you can’t see my email, it is: bravedancer[at]sbcglobal[dot]net
I’m not a big lover of cheese, but in his pre-vegan days, my husband was! Love to be able to make him some cheesy recipes!
I’d love to check this book out!
p.s.–my email address is palindrome_1185 at yahoo dot com
I want this book. SO SO SO BAD.
Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been seeing so many blog posts about this book and I’d love to try Brie again (only vegan this time) after 12 years or so.
There must be a lot of crying in heaven, because I think an angel fell to earth in the shape of a vegan cheese book. Wanna come home with me?
Cheesy enough for you?
“Someone better call God because there’s an angel on earth giving away Miyoko’s book.” ;o)
I’ve just recently found out about this book and it looks amazing. Boy have we come a long way with the options we have these days!!
Before going vegan my friends called me a cheese freaking eater as a nickname. I used to call and leave people voicemails saying ” behold …the power of cheese”
Oh how I miss it so much :)
I miss cheese!!!
These cheeses would be great to make with my vegan dishes :)
OK, a cheesy comment.
It’s a good thing that I have my library card. Why? Because I am totally checking you out!
Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
All right, I’ll stop. *grin*
My addy is april at knightimecreations (take this part out) dot com
Paraphrasing from the 60′s writer Clifton Fadiman’s quote “…cheese, (almond :) milk’s leap toward immortality!”
I love her Japanese cookbook and this one looks awesome too!
My cheesy comment:
Vegan cheese is nuttier than a Green Bay Packer fan.
This book would be so awesome for my vegan grilled cheese sandwiches! MM.. vegan cheddar, tomatoes, vegenaise, and avocado on whole grain bread… :)
A cheesy comment.
Get it? You said to leave a cheesy comment. Look at me, following directions.
I’ve only made the Philly cream cheese so far but I love smearing it on bagels for breakfast! For Christmas I’m going to ask for this book and several pounds of cashews, so I can start making all my own cheese.
I am intrigued by turning nuts and seeds into cheese. Stinky vegan cheese.
I have been wanting this book so much. My email is ensd13 at gmail.
Vegan cheese is good, but homemade vegan cheese is cheddar. Eh? Eh?
I brie-leive this book should be mine. BOOM
I’d love some vegan cheese with my whine!
I adore Miyoko Schinner. She has good recipes and a good methodology to create a recipe. There is one cheese recipe we saw was very inviting. Sooo happy to find that one recipe on the internet. It is made with sprout liquid and to make just like Mozzarella cheese!
I’ve been looking for vegan cheese recipes since buying vegan cheese is super expensive. Also, I’m not even sure where to buy agar agar (I live in Portland, OR… I assume Food Fight! might have it?), so if anyone has a tip, I’d love it!
Cheese is literally the only animal product keeping my husband from being vegan at this point, so I’m definitely going to be trying this book out!
Cheese pleeeez! Brites-six@comcast.net
I am most excited about the mozzarella cheese. Not because it is the quickest, but it looks the most fun to make. I also have been craving stuff shells with a pesto sauce. I think the mozzarella would be the best fit. However I just love it all. Mmmm Im getting hungry just thinking about it.
I don’t often miss the things that I used to eat before going vegan, but every now and then I do miss cheese! I’d love to be able to replicate that creamy, oozy, cheesey flavor in a mindful and healthy way.
My face just melted and no animals were harmed in the process! I would love to test drive this book in the kitchen :)
Soy free cream cheese? Meltable mozzarella? Boison? Gouda? Be still my heart! laurel van blarcum at sbc global dot net. Must make rejuvelac – STAT!
oh yes please!
i filled out the info boxes but just in case i’m appifanie at gmail
I want a vegan cheese that can be sliced for serving with crackers! I never tried Brie, Gouda, and other “fancy” cheese before going vegan so I’m really curious about what they taste like.
I tried her cheese at Chicago’s Vegan Mania and oh man it was amazing! I need this book!
I have tried both the mozzarella and the cream cheese from the Vegnews magazine and they turned out great!
What did the vegan artisan cheese chef say on her blind date? Its gouda to meet you!
(Is that comment cheesy enough for you?)
Mozzarella!
Oh! Making vegan cheese could be my new obsession!
Say “cheese” please!
Gimme that!
Havar-told you how beautiful you are lately, Kittee???
YOU SAID CHEESY!!!
I’ve been dying for this book! So hoping!!
XOXO
Ooooh! How delightful!
THIS BOOK. I’ve seen it everywhere and would be so fortunate to win a copy.
THIS WILL TURN ME VEGAN FOR SURE!! You know you guys want to convert someone <3
I love cheeze!!
I love cheeze!!!
This book looks incredible!
Thanks for having this giveaway! The book looks incredible!
Like most people, I’ve always loved cheese. I’ve always been on the thin side, but when I moved to France for a year I subsisted on bread, cheese, and chocolate and put on 25 well-enjoyed pounds. Many many years later, I met my future husband, and his family was so pleased I loved cheese, as his last girlfriend had apparently thought it too fattening. I had their approval. And now that I’m vegan, they still love me, but I’d love to have some terrific vegan cheeses to pull out when the family gets together and they all exchange glances when I say no thank you to the cow’s cheese.
Thanks again!
~Katrina
That cheese looks pretty gouda… I love to have some while listening to my R & Brie ;)… too bad I live in Canada. LOLCHEEZEPUNS.
I am on a quest to make the perfect nacho cheese sauce. My husband wants the kind that he used to get as a kid – the cheap stuff from the movie theaters and stuff like that.
I mozzarella up the courage to give it the gouda, old college try!
Vegan cheesiness is essential for my survival.
My goodness, quinoa as part of a cheese making process? Being allowed to say “cheese” instead of “cheez”? YES. CHEESE PLEASE.
acoconut at gmail
Are you tired VeganMoFo? Cause you’ve been running through my mind all day! (Was that cheesy enough?) :-p
There is nothing I love more than homemade vegan cheese!!!
I’ve been wanting to learn how to make my own vegan cheeses ever since I tasted Dr. Cow nut cheese for the very first time. This book would no doubt change. my. life.
CHEESUS CHRIST! CHEESE LOUISE! I BEG U PLZ GIMMME DA CHZ
Best.
It’s almost impossible to find a (decent) vegan cheese where I live. This could be the answer to all my prayers!
Kittee, you’re so cool, you make icebergs drool. <–cheesy, brown-nosing compliment with hopes I will be chosen. Notify me of my imminent win at katysparrow@gmail.com
The very thought of having wine and cheese again makes me melt. Also running around in my lily munster apron making munster cheez would be a delight and freak out my friends in a good way :D mmmm
I love making cheez…and having so many flavors to choose from would be amazing!
I was lucky enough to help Miyoko prep some of her recipes before her talk at San Francisco’s VegFest. Let me tell you…it was some tasty stuff! You would never know it wasn’t the “real” thing! Her book may put the dairy cows out to pasture…where they belong. ;) And the dairy cheese makers outta biz. One can hope! Great book!!!
