i'm also looking for a reasonable vegan substitute for cheese that tastes good. is there such a thing? and dont give me any of that, "it's good but it wont melt" business. if it dont melt, it aint cheese.

lastly, i used to be able to buy this really great garlic spread that came in a plastic bottle (like the OF/OS ketchup & mustard bottles at burger joints...squeezy style...they were red & yellow...remember those?). the bottle was clear and the label was white with red or green writing. it was a greek or maybe middle eastern company and the garlic was INTENSE! sound familiar to anyone? i remember seeing it in seattle. i've never seen it here in hippieville

What eggplant recipes have you tried?

As for cheese, that one has been difficult but I've heard some from the UK are good. If you're looking for a grated Parmesan substitute look at nutritional yeast. It has a nutty flavour but my g/f swears by it (it doesn't do much for me).
