Diary of a dairy-free revolution
What a joy it was to discover Cultured Kindness cheeses at the grocery! Especially when we saw the word brie along with the word vegan. This “brie” variety is smothered in fresh herbs, which make it especially beautiful (and flavorful). The texture (cashew-based) is perfect: thick, creamy, rich, highly spreadable.
