    Yea it's great. I think the key is to not try to replicate exact meat/cheese tastes and textures, but to replace their function in the dish. e.g. Falafel burgers last night with a Coconut yoghurt + tahini + ACV dressing. Gives you all the crunch, rich, fattiness and umami of a good burger without comparing it to previous cheeseburgers.

    Having said that gardein burgers are amazing, and culturing cashews to make "brie" is quite fun.

      Whoa coconut yogurt exists!?! And yea reorienting your perspective is important, for me realizing how much better my body feels without meat in my tummy helped alot.
