I'll eat your cheese!
“How is THAT going to be Mozzarella Cheese” he said gazing at the milky concoction of garlic, raw cashews, spices and translucent white liquid. Next came the mildly deafening roar of the VitaMix followed by the curdling science experiment on the stove. Then, all at once, it was there, before your eyes. Fresh. Melty. Stringy. Garlicky Vegan Mozzarella Cheese.
I prefaced this freak show with “Hey y’all, you don’t have to eat my cheese, this is for us”. I often would do this both as a way of not making our hosts feel obligated to try our food, but also as a bit of Tom Sawyer-esque mind trickery. And they concurred, all the way up to the point I was stretching the fresh, stringy, mouth watering cheese over the freshly grilled dough. And when the chance came for them to grab their bag of cheese from the fridge it happened. I’ll eat your cheese!
And so it has been for nearly 20 years. Parties, cookouts, get togethers, any place where some would find the Plant Based lifestyle as a restriction, I saw opportunity. Opportunity to share my passion, introduce others to new foods and plant a seed that maybe everything is not as it seems when it comes to what we put into our bodies, not everything has to be a sacrifice.
So effectively nothing has changed, although that is a bit of BS as well. The difference now is that I still do this. I do it for my friends, family and now I get to own and operate a business doing JUST what I truly love.
